I must admit, I do have a weakness for Trivia style games, particularly on mobile devices. I have, however, had some trouble finding one that I like enough to continue playing. Quiz Up, brought to us by Plain Vanilla Games, offers players more than 400 quiz categories to choose from. This was a big tick in my books, as what most mobile trivia games lack is variety – particularly for users who play for hours on end. QuizUp also saves your favourite topics (the ones one play most frequently) on the home page, making them easy to access. The entire app, for that matter, is very useable and easy to navigate.
One great feature of the game that is worth mentioning is the “feature” topics that are updated every few days, which appear on your home page and can range from current events to something completely random. If you play trivia games yourself, you’ll know how easy it is to get stuck into the same categories each time you play, so this feature reminds you to step out of your comfort zone and test your knowledge on something new and unknown.
What I love about this app is that while you can challenge your mates in some friendly competition, you don’t need them to be online to play, as a random generator selects your opponent from anywhere around the globe if you choose not to challenge one of your friends – meaning you can basically play 24/7. The app is also available on both iOS and Android devices so there’s no limitations there either!
Whether you want to test out your knowledge about Web Culture or see how much you know about Mean Girls, QuizUp is definitely worth checking out – and with close to half a million downloads by Android users, don’t just take my word for it!
