Quiz games are becoming more and more popular and here are some lists on this topic. Trivia quiz website Sporcle has been busy destroying productivity since 2007 with this brain teasers, and the mobile app’s quick-playing quizzes are just as addictive. Sporcle (Android, iOS) features thousands of quizzes in a variety of topics, such as history, entertainment, science and literature, with players trying to list down all possible answers that fit a given question. Sporcle regularly updates with new quizzes, and players can even sign up for a Sporcle account to comment on and rate quizzes, as well as create and upload their own.
The question-and-answer format of most trivia games can get a little mundane, which is why games like Linkee by Bananagrams switch things up a little bit. Instead of simply answering questions in this trivia challenge, players race to figure out the connection between questions, shouting out the answer as soon as they have it. It can be played with anywhere from two to 30 people, and it’s best for players over age 14. In the box, you’ll receive 1,400 questions, as well as four pencils, four answer pads and a rule guide. To play, you’ll answer the four questions on each card, then try to figure out the link between them. When you figure it out, simply shout “Linkee” to win the round. Unlike many other trivia games, Linkee moves quickly, and games usually take around 30 minutes to complete – a nice and short game if you’re crunched for time.
Silicon Flip : The rules of this game are very simple. The game begins by you flipping a virtual coin and predicting whether the coin will land heads or tails side up. If you are correct then you get 1 point, but if you are wrong then you are given a general knowledge quiz question to answer. If you get the question right then your score will remain unchanged, but if you get it wrong then you lose 1 point. This process is then repeated until you either run out of time – you only have 5 minutes to complete the game – or you reach the 10 points needed to win. More on Coin Flip prediction game.
I mean this with no disrespect, but The Q is the trivia app equivalent to The Little Tank Engine Who Could. This app popped up shortly after HQ Trivia began making waves in beta for both iOS and Android, and I’ve been tracking its growth through to 2018. I appreciate the lack of an annoying and pointless chat system, and the player pool is significantly smaller than HQ or Live.me, but The Q is the one app I’ve seen taking trying new things. They now regularly holding Survivor games where the questions keep coming until one player remains. They’ve also advertised some fun theme nights, including a Star Wars trivia show around the premiere of The Last Jedi.
