Quiz games are hot and here are several lists on this topic. What do you call a group of zebras? What in the world is a mumpsimus? Inspired by party games like Balderdash, Psych! (Android, iOS) has you cooking up the zaniest but most plausible answers to these questions in order to fool your friends and score points. Each player secretly submits a funny but plausible answer, and once collected, the submissions (and the correct answer) are displayed on the screen, and players try to figure out which one is the correct one. If somebody chooses your submission, then you score a point, and if you guess the right answer, then you score a point as well. In-app purchases unlock additional themed trivia question packs, or can remove advertisements.

Standard trivia games are often too hard for kids, which is why the Professor Noggin Card Game by Outset Media gets the nod as the best alternative for families. This game comes in a variety of subjects, including kid-friendly topics like history, pets, birds and dinosaurs. You can buy one or several, each one with a focus on a topic your kids are interested in. Each Professor Noggin game is for two to eight players, and these trivia challenges are ideal for kids age 7 and older. There are 30 cards included in the game, and each contains three hard and three easy questions to accommodate players of various knowledge levels. To play, each person rolls the dice and is asked a question from one of the trivia cards. If you get the answer correct, you get to keep the card; otherwise, it goes to the bottom of the deck. The object of the game is to collect the most cards and be crowned the winner.

Okay, so Quiz Biz is a bit interesting. I’ll fully admit having never heard of Live.me before it launched it’s own trivia game, but it’s a natural fit. Live.me is a live broadcasting video chat app that’s looking to build a community of influencers across a wide spectrum of topics and personalities. It’s available in 85 countries and has millions of downloads from the Google Play Store. The platform itself is not for me – I haven’t spent any time checking out anything on Live.me beyond the daily Quiz Biz trivia show but the experience here is arguably better in so many ways. The cash prizes are always as big or bigger than HQ – on Super Bowl Sunday they hosted three separate games with $50,000 jackpots. Since it’s built upon a seemingly well-populated user base from the existing Live.me community the games feel lively and popular while still remaining small enough to ensure bigger cashouts, and the stream quality overall is way smoother than HQ on its best days. And yet.
