Quiz games are becoming more and more popular and here are a few news on this topic. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire goes mobile with the Millionaire Trivia app (Android, iOS), which translates the game show experience to the touch screen. This app puts a pair of players through a battery of trivia questions of increasing difficulty, with classic lifelines such as 50:50, Ask The Audience, and Ask An Expert. You’re playing for points and leaderboard spots rather than PayPal cashouts, and a system of coins and unlockable mystery boxes are among the free-to-play elements, but it’s still a fun trivia experience that you can play in short bursts.

If you’re looking for a rowdy trivia game to break out at your next party, check out Smart Ass by University Games, a fast-paced trivia game in which players don’t have to wait their turn to yell out the answer and advance around the board as they solve clues. Smart Ass is designed for two to six players, and it’s best for teens and adults, as you might have guessed from its name alone. The game comes with a game board, six playing pieces, more than 400 question cards, a pair of jumbo dice and instructions. During gameplay, participants take turns rolling the dice and reading out the clues on the question cards. Each question card contains eight hints that will help you guess the answer, and the first person to figure out the correct response simply yells it out.

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 General knowledge quiz.

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.
