Will Trivia Murder Party be too "American" again?
My biggest gripe with TMP is how American-oriented the questions were. I live in Australia and a few times we've played, have been a total guess. This game would be soo much better if you stick to general trivia, not specific stuff like American breakfast cereal and candy bars varieties.

*EDIT* I see you kinda responded to this below in the translation request threads. I'm not asking for you to re-write the questions, just perhaps not bother putting in said questions about American football teams.
Or have a feedback system at the end of the game about the appropriateness of the questions. Up/down vote the pool of questions used at the end of the game.

I have the same question. There's plenty of trivia questions that can be asked that a worldwide audience could potentially know the answers to. English really isn't the barrier for me, it's more the fact that the questions are about really specific American culture.
The response they've given in the other thread seems to indicate that this will be the case again but I'll wait and see if it's as heavily American as the last TMP.

We’ve heard this a lot from our fans and we’ve also seen it first hand. I think at PAX Australia everyone had to “draw Idaho” and everyone playing was really pissed off!
For Trivia Murder Party 2, since we’re a small company and don’t have the bandwidth to localize all of our trivia, we wanted to try and make this less of a problem. We added a filter in the settings menu that should prevent US centric questions and prompts from showing up. With the setting on, there will be fewer questions available overall, but you won’t have to memorize American presidents anymore. It’s not a perfect solution, but hopefully it makes TMP2 more playable for non US players.
