Engaging trivia and deduction gameplay that tests players' knowledge of Hololive talents while offering light puzzle and inspection elements.
Charming pixel-art style and lively sound design create an approachable and humorous atmosphere.
Multiple game modes add depth and challenge, appealing to both casual fans and those seeking an intense, endless screening experience.

The infinite mode becomes overly reliant on luck beyond a certain score, reducing the trivia challenge aspect.
Japanese text in hashtags and some trivia can be a barrier for non-Japanese readers and overseas fans.
No gallery or in-game guidebook to review learned trivia, requiring players to rely on external resources.
