Kurdish Trivia: Zanist

New for v1.0: 300+ questions across 7 categories. Daily Challenge, category practice, a fact of the day, and a growing library of Kurdish knowledge.

Zanist — test what you know about Kurdish culture.

Zanist (Kurdish for "knowledgeable") is a daily trivia game built for the Kurdish diaspora and anyone curious about Kurdish history, language, and identity. Every day, you get the same 10 questions as everyone else around the world — a shared experience you can discuss with your family group chat, your cousins in Stockholm, your friend in Toronto.

A QUICK GAME WITH REAL DEPTH

• Daily Challenge — 10 mixed questions, one attempt per day. Build your streak. • Category Practice — unlimited rounds in the category of your choice. • Seven categories: History, Geography, Language, Music, Food, Famous Figures, and Traditions. • Fact of the Day — a new piece of Kurdish culture on the home screen, even on days you haven't played. • Learn library — every fact you encounter unlocks in a searchable library you can bookmark for later. • Quiz history — revisit every round you've played, with full question review. • Stats — accuracy per category, streak tracking, personal best.

BUILT FOR CULTURE, NOT CLICKS

• Zero ads. Zero tracking. Zero data leaves your device. • Works fully offline — play on the train, on the plane, anywhere. • Beautiful warm design inspired by Kurdish kilim textiles and the green + gold of the Kurdish flag. • Bilingual — English and Kurmanji (Kurdish, Latin script). • Light and dark mode. • Gentle sound effects and haptics you can toggle off.

WHO IT'S FOR

Second-generation diaspora Kurds who feel a strong connection to their heritage but have gaps in their knowledge. First-generation parents who want a fun way to test themselves and share with family. Kurdish weekend school teachers. Non-Kurdish partners, friends, and academics curious about Kurdish culture. Anyone who loves a good daily quiz.

CONTENT

Zanist ships with 300+ carefully written questions covering Kurdish history from the medieval era to today, the geography of the four regions (Bakur, Başûr, Rojava, Rojhelat), the Dengbêj musical tradition, the food that travels with every Kurdish family, the poets and leaders who shaped a people, and the festivals that hold a culture together. Every question comes with a short explanation so even wrong answers become learning moments.

PRIVACY
