Online Trivia Games - If you like to watch trivia game shows on TV, play trivia games like trivial prusuit, or just answer those magazine trivia questions, you are about to discover a whole new world of trivia fun.
Quite a late bloomer on the Internet, online trivia games have finally found grace, and several new websites are offering multiplayer flash trivia games that let you play against other trivia lovers from all around the world.
Generally, all online trivia games are basically trivia quizzes in which players answer a series of trivia questions, but each has its own rules and look and feel. Some are single player games, others multiplayer, some let you play for money while others are just for fun, and of course you have games that focus on different cagtegories of qustions like sports trivia, entertainment trivia, movies trivia, music trivia, etc.
Unlike other categories of skill games, online trivia games vary from site to site. There is no one game format that can be called a trivia game, there are as many ways to play trivia games online as there are sites.
You can have true/false questions, multiple choice questions with 3 or 4 possible answers, you can have just one lifeline or more, and of course games vary by the number of people that can play in one game. Some sites go for the "the more the merrier" formula and let many players join in one game, while others that want to allow players to form a more personal relationship, let just a few players join in one game. These are my favorite trivia games because you can chat with the people you are playing with and really get to know them. Generally speaking, people who play trivia games seem to be friendlier, and many times, more intelligent, then the random people you can meet when you play games in other skill games sites.
My favorite online triva games site is www.247trivia.com which has multiplayer flash-based trivia games which you can play for fun or for money. The games are very attractive visually, they have the most entertaining and mind provoking trivia questions, and best of all, there is a lively community of trivia players who come from all around the world (at least the English speaking world), to meet and play trivia games.
