   Reply with one JSON object only (no commentary, no code fence) in exactly this shape:
   
   {
     "title": "Space basics",
     "description": "An easy warm-up about the solar system.",
     "tags": [
       "science",
       "space"

         "values": [
           100,
           200
         ],
         "categories": [
           {
             "name": "Planets",
             "clues": [
               {
                 "question": "The planet we live on.",

               }
             ]
           },
           {
             "name": "Moons",
             "clues": [
               {
                 "question": "The number of moons Earth has.",
                 "answer": "One"
               },
               {
                 "question": "This moon of Saturn has a thick orange atmosphere.",
                 "answer": "Titan",
                 "dailyDouble": true
               }
             ]

       "category": "Explorers",
       "question": "The first person to walk on the Moon.",
       "answer": "Neil Armstrong"
     }
   }
   
   Rules:
   - 1 or 2 rounds, each with 6 categories of 5 clues. Leave out "values" to get the usual point values.
   - Order each category's clues from easiest to hardest.
   - A clue is one short sentence that can be read aloud. Its answer is a few words.
   - Every answer must be a fact you are sure of, with one clearly correct response.
   - Category names are short (under 25 characters) and no clue gives away another clue's answer.
   - Mark one clue in each round with "dailyDouble": true, and end with a "final" clue.
   - Text only: no pictures, links or markdown.

   Check the clues and start a game

   The board opens in the editor, where you can fix wording and add pictures or sound.

2. Connect your assistant

For Claude, Cursor and other apps that support MCP: the assistant saves boards straight to your account and can edit them later. It reaches only your own boards, never a game in progress, and you can disconnect it at any time.

The easy way: sign in

Add this address as a connector (or remote MCP server) in your AI app. It opens a Trivia Pig page in your browser, you press Allow, and it is connected. No token to copy.
