Agent K-C is a database search project for 90FM Trivia, the world's largest trivia contest. The tool helps locate past trivia questions when new contest questions reference earlier ones from the same year or previous years.
Project overview
The project turns a real contest challenge into a focused search experience. During trivia, teams often need to recognize connections to older questions quickly, and Agent K-C helps make that research easier by searching a database of past questions.
The interface keeps the utility playful. It includes light and dark themes, plus fish that react when users hover over them or click them. Those touches make the tool more enjoyable without getting in the way of the practical task.
Goals
- Help trivia teams find past questions more efficiently
- Support research for references that span current and previous contest years
- Keep the search experience useful, approachable, and fun
- Add theme and interaction details that make the project memorable
Approach
Agent K-C focuses on a specific problem instead of trying to be a general trivia tool. The search experience is built around the way 90FM Trivia teams actually work: tracking down question history, spotting references, and finding useful context fast.
The visual details support that purpose by making the experience friendly and distinctive. Light and dark modes give users display flexibility, while the interactive fish add personality to a tool designed for a high-energy contest environment.
Outcome
Agent K-C is a fun solution to a real-world trivia problem. It makes past-question research easier while keeping the experience playful enough to match the spirit of the contest.
