Where can I find some good trivia games online?
Funtrivia
An impressive resource for trivia game lovers, Funtrivia.com includes over 150,000 trivia quizzes that you can go through online, free of charge.
You only have to create an account to access all the goodies. You can get daily email trivia as well as access to an entire library of trending quizzes, topics, challenges, quiz formats, and whatnot. You can even create your own quiz.
When you’re done exploring the site by yourself, you can share the fun with others by purchasing quiz packs that consist of 50-100 questions from specific domains.
Multiple uses of the same account are not possible, so you either share a trivia quiz and make your own scoring system or purchase question packs.
AllTheTests
Similar to the previous website, this too includes a multitude of trivia quizzes from every possible domain.
A lot of the quizzes are very very specific, for just a certain aspect of a more general topic. For instance, Game is a general category, in which you can find 14 different quizzes just on the topic of Super Mario).
Access is free and you don’t have to register. On a general note, the website is a good resource to test your knowledge, but also to get inspiration for possible questions (and answers) for your own quiz night.
Some tests are really trivial, though…
Kahoot!
Unlike the other two options, this one is clearly more educational.
Kahoot! is a game-based learning platform, used in schools and other educational institutions to test the students’ knowledge or just organize fun activities in the classroom. The platform can also be used by the students’ family members.
Among the many games, Kahoot! also includes trivia quizzes.
The purpose of the platform is to allow you to create your own quiz, either using the Kahoot! database with over 500 million questions, or coming up with your own ones, and then play the game with a group of people.
A great aspect of Kahoot! is that quizzes can be taken online, by several people that connect to a certain Kahoot (quiz) at the same time (not necessarily at the same location). Participants have to log in either via a web browser or via the Kahoot! app.
There are several usage plans, including a free plan, with limited access, but just enough to allow one to create a trivia quiz and organize an online trivia night at home.
