9 Best Free Trivia Games of 2026

Trivia Crack ranks first because it is the easiest free trivia game to start and keep playing with other people. Etermax's App Store listing describes the core loop: spin a wheel, land on Art, Science, Sports, Entertainment, Geography or History, answer, and collect all six Crowns to win the match. You can challenge friends and family or a random player, and matches are turn-based, so nobody needs to be online at the same time. The Question Factory lets players submit their own questions and rate others, and newer modes add a dice-and-properties board game, alphabet word puzzles and personality tests. The free version carries ads and sells coins, credits and Right Answer packs, with coin packs from $0.99. Etermax also lists a separate paid Trivia Crack Premium app. We compared documented features and published prices only, and did not test the game hands-on.

Kahoot is the pick when trivia is a group event rather than a phone habit. The app lets you search millions of ready-made kahoots, build your own with images or videos, and host one live by sharing your screen to Apple TV or through a video call while everyone answers on their own device. A SharePlay option runs a live game inside a FaceTime call with no host needed, and you can also assign self-paced kahoots to friends. Kahoot ASA says the app is free for teachers and their students; paid Kahoot+ plans, listed on the US App Store from $5.99, add an image library and question types such as puzzles, polls and open-ended questions, and business users need a paid plan to host at work. It scores slightly below Trivia Crack on ease of setup because someone has to pick or build a quiz and run it. We compared documented features and published prices only.

Sporcle is the strongest pick for adults who like their trivia specific: name every country in Africa, every Best Picture winner, every player on a roster. Sporcle says its app holds more than two million quizzes on geography, sports, movies, television, history, music and science, in formats that include map and picture quizzes, multiple choice, crosswords and matching. A free account tracks scores, badges and a daily streak and opens daily games such as Acrostic, Quizzle, Steps and Chess Attack, and you can build your own quizzes and playlists. Sporcle Orange, at $5.99 a month or $59.99 a year on the US App Store, removes ads and opens the full archive of daily games. Play is mostly solo, so groups should look at Sporcle Party.

QuizzLand stands out for teaching as it quizzes. The developer says it has 50,000 trivia questions in several languages, and every question comes with a detailed explanation. Solo play is a maze: each level has 21 questions, each card shows its difficulty, and hints can reveal a clue or remove wrong options. Mini-games for memory, logic and math sit inside the maze. For competition there is Duel against one opponent, Group Battle with three random players, and Friends Battle for people you invite, plus daily, weekly and overall leaderboards. It is free with ads and a lives system; on the US App Store a No ads purchase is listed from $2.99 and 24 hours of infinite lives costs $3.99 to $4.99. We compared documented features and published prices only.

Trivia Star suits players who want a calm, solo trivia run more than a match against people. The developer lists more than 60 categories, from General Knowledge to Music, and more than 10,000 questions, arranged in levels that start easy and get harder. It works offline as well as online, adds live events and tournaments, and hands out daily coins and hints. Everything is free to play with ads. On the US App Store, gem packs start at $0.99, Remove Ads is $4.99, and a VIP subscription that removes ads and adds rewards costs $3.99 a week, which is the priciest way to go ad-free on this list. Choose the one-time Remove Ads purchase if ads bother you. We compared documented features and published prices only.

Jeopardy Trivia TV Game Show, built by Uken under the Jeopardy name, brings the show's clue-and-category format to a free phone game. Its App Store listing promises thousands of clues and categories, a World Tour in which you climb global leaderboards to become champion, play with friends, and Power-Ups you earn by winning. That makes it the closest thing on this list to a trivia game made for adults who already watch the show. The listing also says the app may show ads tailored to your interests on behalf of Sony and third parties. In-app purchases start with a $1.99 Starter Pack and Gold Bars bundles that reach $69.99. It has fewer side modes than Trivia Crack, and the format suits players who already like Jeopardy. We compared documented features and published prices only.

Quiz Planet from LOTUM is a fast social quiz built around playing other people. Its listing describes over 10,000 questions in 19 categories, wider than the usual six: Animals and Plants, Body and Soul, Customs and Traditions, Brands and Business, Beauty and Fashion, Games and more alongside Geography, History and Science. You play friends or random opponents, collect alien characters on the way up the leaderboard, and can join a daily contest against everyone else in your country. LOTUM says the game is free in 28 languages. Its question pool is smaller than Sporcle's or QuizzLand's and the listing does not describe a solo level mode, so it fits players who want quick matches. We compared documented features and published prices only.

Sporcle Party is Sporcle's answer for groups. The app lets you challenge friends and family in person or virtually, or play people around the world, on topics from movies and geography to sports, science, literature and history. Its twist is a confidence wager: you stake 1 to 10 points on each answer, which rewards knowing what you know. You can also build your own question packs and share them, which Sporcle pitches for office parties, classrooms and baby showers. The game is free with ads; on the US App Store, Remove Ads is a one-time $2.99 and themed packs such as US History or The Office cost $1.99 each. It covers less ground than the main Sporcle app and is weaker for solo play. We compared documented features and published prices only.

Millionaire Quiz is Uken's licensed version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? for phones. You climb the Money Tree one question at a time with the classic 50:50 and Ask the Audience lifelines, plus a newer Ask an Expert that draws on a team of experts you collect and train in each city you open up. A daily leaderboard lets you compare scores with friends and family, and an offline mode keeps it playable without a connection. It is free with interest-based ads, and gem packs on the US App Store start at $1.99. It ranks last here because the collecting and city progression add grind, and multiplayer is limited to leaderboards rather than live matches.
