ULTRA BLACK The Blackest Trivia Game You Know
Lyrics. History. Sports. Screen. How deep does your knowledge really run?
This isn't a general trivia game with a Black history category bolted on. Ultra Black is built from the ground up for an audience that knows the culture — and wants to prove it.
“At what Bronx address did DJ Kool Herc stretch the breakbeat to birth hip-hop in 1973?”
THE DECKS
Four categories of cultural authority. Select a card to preview a sample question and reveal its answer.Black History
From the Movement to the Moment. Figures, milestones, and events that shaped the world — the ones that made it into the textbooks and the ones that didn't.
Black Culture
Slang, fashion, food, music, and the moments that defined generations. If you lived it, you'll know it. If you slept on it, now's your chance to catch up.
Screen & Sound
Films, TV, and lyrics that hit different. Name that line, place that scene, complete that verse. The canon you grew up on — tested.
Sports
The GOATs, the records, the moments that stopped time. From the hardwood to the track, the ring to the field — Black athletes built the game. Do you know the receipts?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know about gameplay, question depth, and launch access.How deep is the question bank? Will questions repeat?

What is the long-term vision and commitment for Ultra Black?
+Ultra Black is not a fly-by-night novelty app. It is an enduring cultural platform backed by Marble Ceilings LLC. We are committed to multi-year development, live competitive tournaments with cash prizes, physical collector card decks, and community-curated category expansions.
Why this Game Matters:
Because representation isn't a feature. It's the whole thing.
Black culture has always been the most referenced, sampled, studied, and celebrated culture in the world. But the games built around it? Generic. Surface-level. An afterthought.
Ultra Black exists because there should be a game that treats Black knowledge with the same weight and care that the culture deserves — one that feels as good to hold as it does to play. Premium design. Deep content. Built for the people who actually lived it.
This is for the Gen X and Millennial audience that has been waiting for something made with them in mind — not as an add-on, but as the entire point.
PLAYTESTED // VALIDATED
Early feedback from cultural tastemakers and beta test players.“I got 3 of 4 right and missed the Kool Herc Bronx address — my dad would disown me. Finally a game that doesn't ask me surface-level MLK questions.”
“The Screen & Sound deck alone is worth everything. Spotting Method Man on The Wire was an instant flex in our group chat.”
“The luxury aesthetic is stunning. It feels like opening a vintage collector deck rather than playing a tacky mobile trivia app.”
