   1. QuizUp
   

   QuizUp is the new kid on the block for mobile trivia, but that freshness also comes with some perks. The app has a lovely, colorful interface. QuizUp also lets you match wits on any topic with your in-game friends or with strangers, so you can compete to top the leaderboards in your area of expertise. The team is actively adding new material, including timely information in both the current events and pop culture categories.

   2. Sporcle
   

   It was an online phenomenon first, and now you can take the Sporcle quizzes anywhere. The trivia categories go beyond the typical subjects to test your knowledge of more unusual pockets of trivia. Do you know which nations have the highest cost of living this year? How good are you on celebrities’ ages or popular baby names? The apps don’t have all the content from the web version, but there’s still a serious number of quizzes to keep you entertained.

   Price: $2.99 for iOS, $1.99 for Android

   3. MovieCat and MovieCat 2
   

   How do you make a standard movie trivia game even better? Present all the questions with adorable cartoon cats. MovieCat tests your cinema savvy in a range of ways, from the classic to the contemporary. Anything in the movie realm is fair game — including posters, costumes and award winners — and the faster you answer, the more points you’ll get. The sequel has all new questions and Cat Scenes, but for now it’s only available on iOS.

   Price: $1.99 on Android and iPhone, $2.99 on iPad

   4. Jeopardy!
   

   The popular game show has long been the standard for TV trivia, and now you can get the experience on your mobile devices. The setup is a little different, with clues given as multiple choice questions rather than the iconic “Answer in the form of a question.” Despite that, you’re still getting an authentic Jeopardy! experience since the clues were collected from the show’s writers. You have the chance to win solo or compete with friends in the Pass and Play mode.

   5. Trivial Pursuit
   

   This one’s a classic of the board game universe, but it’s just as fun in the mobile world. There’s very little difference between the digital and analog versions, although touch controls are a great addition to the traditional play. You can tackle the questions by yourself or enjoy a match with friends. If you spend so much time that the basic cards get too easy, then you can purchase extra packs of questions about sports, television or movies.

   Price: $0.99 for iOS

   7. You Don’t Know Jack
   

   For those who like to mix some sass with their savvy, You Don’t Know Jack is a great choice. Rather than just trivia, the game includes brain teasers and speed games to keep you on your toes. The game is guided by a snarky announcer and, yes, there are some fart noises. It’s best as a social app, hooked into Facebook and played with friends.
