A system and methodology for executing a trivia contest/tournament simultaneously to a plurality of electronic devices, while eliminating fraud associated with trivia contests by ensuring that every gameplay experience across multiple devices, regardless of location, is consistent. This is accomplished by onboarding an electronic device, receiving a current date and time of the underlying user in a predetermined set of parameters, generating a payload (start time of contest, questions, order of questions, duration of each question, termination time of contest, etc.) and transmitting it to the electronic device at a time before the start of the contest. The lag time between all electronic devices is calculated and accounted for, so that each device starts the contest at the same time. The trivia contest takes place and terminates, so that each player has the same experience. Their answers are encrypted and transmitted back to the system for recording and assessment.
