Show HN: Two Truths and a Twist – MCP trivia game where your AI quizzes you (opens in new tab)

Hi HN! ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and I are launching Two Truths and a Twist, a new kind of trivia game played entirely inside a large language model, leveraging the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to manage game state.

Each round, the AI game master presents you with three statements. Two are accurate facts, and one is subtly twisted. Your challenge is to spot the twist.

Why build trivia inside an AI?

* Topical Trivia: The game generates rounds based on today's news or recent events—something traditional trivia games can't match.

* Infinite Categories: Chocolate trivia, programming languages, obscure historical events. There are no predefined categories, and almost no limits to the quiz master's knowledge. If it's on the internet, it's fair game.

* Multilingual Play: Easily playable in multiple languages. Want to play in Hindi, Spanish, or Japanese? No problem.

(ChatGPT wrote that section and she was super excited about some of those things.)

We made this as a proof-of-concept for "model-native" apps -- software that exists completely inside AI models.

We'd love your thoughts, feedback, and questions!

This is the quiz Claude created about Hacker News:

Question: What's interesting about Hacker News?

1. Hacker News was created by Paul Graham in February 2007, initially called "Startup News" or "News.YC" before receiving its current name on August 14, 2007.

2. Hacker News users need to accumulate 501 "karma" points before they're allowed to downvote content, as part of measures to prevent the "Eternal September" phenomenon.

3. Hacker News was designed as a collaborative project between Y Combinator and Reddit, with Reddit co-founders helping develop the initial moderation algorithms.

Which statement do you think is the twist?
