1. Know It
Closest to iKNOW, and free online. Three clues, hardest first; you commit to how many you need and bet on another player. Everyone plays on their own phone in the browser, the app does the reading and scoring, and it works in English, Lithuanian and Polish. Play Know It.
2. Wits & Wagers
The other great betting quiz. Every question has a number as the answer. Everyone writes a guess, then you bet on which guess is closest. Like iKNOW, you can win without knowing the answers yourself, by reading who does.
3. Smart10
Push your luck. Each question has ten possible answers around a round card. Players take turns picking one; a wrong pick loses everything from that round, so you decide when to stop. The same tension as choosing three pips in iKNOW.
4. Timeline
Knowledge without exact answers. Place event cards in the right order on a shared timeline. You don't need to know dates, just whether something came before or after. Quick and easy to teach.
5. Hitster
The music version. Play a song and place it on your timeline by year. Great for mixed groups where not everyone likes trivia.
6. Linkee
Find the link. Answer four trivia questions, then shout out what connects them. Short, loud and good with bigger groups.
7. Trivial Pursuit
The classic. Answer questions across six categories to collect all the wedges. Less betting and bluffing, more pure knowledge.
