Who makes it
Balkans Quiz is published by MODEX, trading as Modex Apps, an independent mobile studio based in Tirana, Albania. MODEX builds nothing but quiz games for Southeast Europe — it is not a template shop that swapped a flag on a generic trivia engine.
The same studio publishes a dedicated app for each country in the region. Balkans Quiz is the one that covers all of them together; the single-country apps go deeper on one place each.
What is inside
Every region ships its own pool of questions, written in that region's language rather than translated from English. Questions are grouped by category — history, geography, culture, sport, slang, food — and tagged easy, medium or hard.
Each answer is followed by a one-line explanation. That is the part players come back for: a round of ten questions leaves you with ten small facts, not just a score.
How it plays
A round is ten questions on a countdown timer. Answer quickly, chain correct answers into a streak, and the streak multiplies your XP. A 50:50 lifeline removes one wrong answer when you are stuck.
You can also open a private room and share the code with up to fifteen friends. Everyone answers the same questions at the same time, and the leaderboard settles it.
- Ten questions a round, on a timer
- Easy, Medium and Hard — down to five seconds a question
- 50:50 lifeline, one free per game
- Live rooms for up to 15 players
- Daily and all-time leaderboards, at home and worldwide
- XP, streaks and Game Center achievements
What it costs
The app is free to download and free to play — three rounds a day with no card and no account. Pro removes the daily limit, unlocks Hard mode in full, gives three lifelines a round and removes ads. There is a one-time lifetime option, so Pro does not have to be a subscription.
