I think the main issues of this game are that they try to do the game show cliffhanger thing, but the questions are literally made for 1-5th graders (unlike the actual show), so there is no drama and it just takes forever. They need to speed up the questions/answers, make less of them multiple choice, and either make the questions WAY harder, or just have an endless mode where they just keep getting harder and harder until eventually you're writing out a doctorate thesis while Ava is in the background going "Vive la Resistance!"

Das Kapital IN THE ORIGINAL GERMAN

[@ZionSype]

"Alright! Ava, can you tell us a Fun Fact you learned recently?" Ava: "The Spanish Revolution was a workers' social revolution that began at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936 and for two to three years resulted in the widespread implementation of anarchist and, more broadly, libertarian socialist organizational principles throughout various portions of the country, primarily Catalonia, Aragon, Andalusia, and parts of the Valencian Community. Much of the economy of Spain was put under worker control; in anarchist strongholds like Catalonia, the figure was as high as 75%. Factories were run through worker committees, and agrarian areas became collectivized and run as libertarian socialist communes. Many small businesses, such as hotels, barber shops, and restaurants, were also collectivized and managed by their workers. The CNT and UGT unions called a general strike from July 19 to 23, in response to both the military uprising and the apparent apathy of the state towards it. Despite the fact that there were specific records in previous days of the distribution of weapons among civilian sectors, it was during the General Strike when groups of trade unionists, linked to the convening unions and smaller groups, assaulted many of the weapons depots of the state forces, independently of whether they were in revolt against the government or not. Already in these first weeks, two groups were established within the anarcho-syndicalist revolutionary sectors: the radical group, fundamentally linked to the Iberian Anarchist Federation and through it to the CNT, which understood the phenomenon in which it participated as a traditional revolution; and the possibilist group, made up of members of a more moderate sector of the CNT, which expressed the convenience of participating in a broader front, later called the Popular Antifascist Front, the result of adding the unions to the electoral coalition Popular Front." "Wow! Fun fact!"
