The graphics in the trivia vault titles are criticized for their lack of originality and effort, featuring generic, low-quality artwork reminiscent of late-90s clipart. Users note that the interface is poorly designed, with high-contrast fonts that often do not fit properly, contributing to an overall impression of carelessness in the game's visual presentation.
“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.”
