Quiz games are trendy and here are a few news 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.

SwagIQ stands out from the rest on this list because it doesn’t directly dole out cash. Instead, you play to win SwagBucks, which can then be exchanged for cash via PalPal, or redeemed for gift cards for popular sites like Amazon or Steam, stores such as Barns & Noble, JCPenney, and Bath & Body Works, or even donate your winnings to charities including Doctors Without Borders or ALS. SwagIQ also lets you earn points based on recruiting new players, and you’ll get a 10% cut of whatever they make playing the app (which, admittedly, sounds a bit like a trivia pyramid scheme to me). You can also spend your SwagBucks to buy back into games, and you earn a few SwagBucks each time you play. 100 SwagBucks convert to 1 USD, but there are deals to be had if you redeem your SwagBucks for gift cards.
