Ben Stein has put together a fun and challenging trivia game! There are four different categories to choose from and each time there are new questions. You earn points and use those to steal Ben's stuff from him. There are multiple items that cost different amounts of points. This game is pretty challenging and requires a good amount of general knowledge to excel at. The great thing is that there are questions for every type of person!

ONLINE REVIEW ROUNDUP for MACWORLD
By Jeff Merron
One of the great things about rounding up a group of like-applications is that after a while it often becomes obvious which is the best among those apps—it’s the one you keep returning to, to “test” some more. Which is what happened when I was assigned to test a trio of iPhone trivia games. I kept returning to Ben Stein: It’s Trivial.
ONLINE REVIEW for APP CRAVER
By Michael Alexander
Ben Stein: It’s Trivial is a captivating game and lots of fun. It will keep you, and everyone around you, entertained for hours and hours.
ONLINE REVIEW for TOUCH MY APPS
by Louis
It is not hard to see that Ben Stein: It’s Trivial is a well polished game. The music and sound effects are nicely done and the artwork along with the Stein Bobblehead definitely adds to the fun. With so many interesting items to steal from Ben, players should have no trouble playing the game over and over again… Players will find themselves wanting to take Ben Stein to the cleaners!
ONLINE REVIEW for IGN ENTERTAINMENT
by George Roush
The App Store is now inundated with trivia games, so it takes an impressive hook to stand out of the crowd. Ben Stein is a pretty good hook.
If you dig trivia games, give this game a try. It's $4.99… but the replay value of stealing Ben's items will keep you coming back for more.

Loved this game, never got my diploma for beating it :( - 3 stars - July 23, 2009
I really love this game. It's addictive and really worth the price. The only reason why it is getting 3 stars instead of 5 is because I won the game over 4 months ago and was put in the Hall of Stein on the website, but never recieved my diploma.

I guess it's about time I reviewed "It's Trivial!" - 5 stars - July 11, 2009
I'm Jack Allen, the first to rip off all Ben Stein's stuff! You can see my name at the top of the list in the "HALL OF STEIN" along with my goofy picture. IMHO this is still the most "FUN" of all the trivia type games currently available and it's still a challenge to win. At the current sale price it's a bargain! (I think I paid $4.99, and still feel I got my money's worth) I highly recommend it to anyone who likes trivia games, ESPECIALLY if they ever watched the TV show, "Win Ben Stein's Money" and have an appreciation for his "dry" sense of humor. That's my 2 cents worth. Just get it, you won't be sorry!

BEST TRIVIA FOR IPHONE!!!! - 5 stars - July 11, 2009
This game is extremely entertaining and challenging! I find myself addicted to it and play it even if I only have a minute to spare! Ben stein is hilarious with all his little quirks! I'm a HUGE trivia nut and have tried several other free and pay apps and this is the only one that challenged me and was worth my time!

Slightly annoying - 1 star - June 25, 2009
oh what I wouldn't give for a jeopardy app!
There's a fair amount of things about this game that annoy me...the music, the lame monkey, ben stein himself, but mostly the amount of time they waste in between questions with stupid music monkies and graphics! Just give me the questions already, sheesh!
Also slot of the pop culture trivia is geared towards a younger crowd.

Still waiting - 1 star - June 20, 2009
I am in the top 10, beat the game during it's first week of release and have received nothing. Starting to think the diploma/show is just a lure to download the app. Who am I kidding of course it's a gimmick, but it would be ok if they actually followed though. Not giving away the prizes is the same as selling raffle tickets for a p
