About Genius Fun

Our Story

Genius Fun was founded in 2023 with a simple observation: the knowledge and experiences of entire generations were being lost in the digital age. While younger generations could Google any fact instantly, they were missing the context, the stories, and the lived experiences that gave those facts meaning.

We realized that people who grew up before the internet possessed a wealth of practical knowledge – from reading maps to balancing checkbooks, from recognizing commercial jingles to understanding historical events they lived through. This knowledge wasn't just trivia; it was a testament to human adaptability and resourcefulness.

What started as a few nostalgic quizzes has grown into a platform that celebrates generational knowledge while bringing people together through friendly competition and shared memories.

What We Believe

• Experience Matters: Living through history provides insights that can't be learned from textbooks. Our quizzes celebrate the wisdom that comes from experience.
• Knowledge Should Be Fun: Learning and testing knowledge shouldn't feel like homework. We make quizzes that are entertaining, challenging, and shareable.
• Every Generation Has Value: While our quizzes often highlight what older generations know, we believe every age group has unique knowledge worth preserving.
• Accuracy Is Important: We research our questions carefully, fact-check our answers, and strive to be historically and factually accurate.
• Nostalgia Brings Joy: Remembering the past isn't about living in it – it's about appreciating how far we've come and what we've learned along the way.

By The Numbers

Our Audience

While our quizzes are enjoyed by people of all ages, we specifically design content for those 45 and older who appreciate the value of lived experience. Our users are:

• People who remember when phones had cords and maps were made of paper
• Those who learned grammar rules that seem to have disappeared
• Individuals who lived through historical events rather than just reading about them
• Anyone who appreciates that some knowledge comes from experience, not search engines

Why Our Quizzes Matter

In a world where information is instantly accessible, it's easy to forget that knowledge and wisdom are different things. Our quizzes don't just test facts – they validate experiences, trigger memories, and remind people that what they learned through living has immense value.

Every time someone shares their quiz results saying "I scored 18/20 on the 80s quiz!", they're not just sharing a score. They're sharing a piece of their identity, their history, and their pride in the knowledge they've accumulated over a lifetime.

Looking Forward

As we continue to grow, we're committed to adding more quizzes that celebrate different aspects of generational knowledge. From regional traditions to forgotten skills, from historical events to cultural phenomena, we'll keep creating content that matters to our audience.

We're also exploring ways to let our community contribute their own knowledge and memories, because the best insights about any generation come from those who lived it.
