Many times, we want to take a break from the action and shooting games; from games where we have to travel from earth to another planet to fight some monsters, or building civilizations using brick-like objects. Quiz games help us improve our brain capacity and increase our understanding of things we sometimes think we already know. Finding very intense trivia (quiz) games on any platform is usually difficult, but we’ve been able to gather some just for you. Here are 20 best quiz games you can play on PC to boost your knowledge. So, prepare your brain. It’s about to be tasked heavily.
1. Majotori
Majotori is an interesting quiz game with a nice storyline. Instead of just the regular questions appearing on your screen while you pick a choice, hoping to get something in the end, Majotori adds good interaction to this quiz game. Lariat, a witch, will make your dreams come true if you’re able to answer the questions right. If you fail, she’ll make bad things happen (to innocent people). This game has over fifty branching storylines, four-question categories which include animation, video games, and cinema.

You’re to finish the training missions from a doctor, Dr. Mason. To do this, you have to link nodes in 3D space. Why I said this game is a bit strange is because you have to solve puzzles by connecting dots. It’s difficult to pass each level without a flaw except you put effort into it over time. Interested in playing the role of AI? Install and start linking.
12. The Jackbox Party Pack 5
Many people have enjoyed playing The Jackbox Party series. This installment has five party-saving new games. The game ‘You Don’t Know Jack’ was listed earlier.

14. Hex
This unique puzzle game gives you just one goal – clear the tiles. To pass each level, you have to jump either one or two spaces in any of the hexagonal directions. But, it isn’t as easy as the image you’re picturing in your head. Before you jump from the first tile to the next, you have to plan your direction for jumping to the end. Because once you jump, the tile disappears. If you took the wrong step, you’ll not be crossing that level to the next. As I said earlier, it is a puzzle game. So, you have to think well as you approach each puzzle.
15. League of Guessing
League of Guessing is based on another game, League of Legends. So, if you have played that, you’ll enjoy it more. The questions asked in this quiz game are different from those you see in other questions. Your objective here is to guess the correct name of characters/ champions in League of Legends based on the abilities provided for you. You can either play this game in the singleplayer mode where you gain IP when you guess right or 3*3 multiplayer mode where you join two other players to play against three other players.
16. Doodle God: 8-bit Mania- Collector’s Item
This game was very popular back in the 80s, but it wasn’t looking as it does now. This is a game that tests your ability, but not by asking questions about movies or music. It’s a puzzle world-building game. You have to mix different elements to build the world from scratch. After you’ve created animals, humans, armies, and other tools you need, you can then start to build your universe. Note that there are consequences to everything you create. You may bring about the apocalypse with your hand. When you successfully create something new, you’ll be given a gift of wisdom.
17. The Movie Trivia Challenge
Did you spend two hours watching a movie and now you think you know everything? The Movie Trivia Challenge will help you know if you’re right.

This game pits you against your family and friends in a challenge to know who the quiz warrior is. ‘What Are You Stupid’ uses language commonly used among humans during discussions. Also, the developers designed each category to sync with a character’s personality. These characters in the game have interesting and sometimes crazy personalities that will keep you entertained.

20. Cubot: The Complexity of Simplicity
At first glance, it sounds like mathematics or physics. But it’s not so boring. When you start playing the puzzle game, it looks easy. You just have to move colored cubes to sit on tiles of similar color. But, you’ll spend hours on just one level. Think of it this way: The game is simple but the puzzles are complex. There are different elements available in the game to achieve your goal such as elevators, color swappers, teleporters, etc. It provides soothing music to keep you calm while challenging you with crazy puzzles.
