The graphics in the trivia vault titles are widely criticized for their outdated and unpolished appearance, reminiscent of late-90s clipart, with poorly designed interfaces and high-contrast fonts that often lead to text misalignment. Additionally, the presence of misspellings and grammatical errors further detracts from the overall visual quality, contributing to a perception of a lack of effort in the game's design.
- “Everything about the trivia vault titles screams 'lack of effort,' from the late-90s clipart-esque backgrounds and interface graphics, to the high-contrast font colors (with text that sometimes doesn't even properly fit into the boxes), to the occasional misspellings and grammatical errors, to whatever programming causes it to hog up your system resources and crash.”

- “If you're okay with mediocre-easy trivia questions, I guess the core gameplay is fine, but for whatever reason, it hogs system resources so badly that there's unnecessary lag to the point where it sometimes even crashes itself.”
