Overview
Trivia Munchers Deluxe is an action-puzzle edutainment game developed and published by MECC for Windows PCs and Macintosh computers in 1996. It later received a re-release by The Learning Company as Knowledge Munchers Deluxe, and was also included in the 1999 Campbell's CD-ROM bundle for the Labels for Education program (along with Reader Rabbit's Reading 1, Treasure Cove!, and Calendar Creator version 5.0).
A sequel to the 1991 game Super Munchers and based on Math Munchers Deluxe, Trivia Munchers Deluxe has players guiding Muncher as he walks around a 5×4 grid and eats the correct words based on the intended trivia topic (such as which words are colors, or which people are famous musicians) while avoiding the Troggles (if they are enabled).
