Trivia Crack is one to skip: more ads than trivia, and a strange side quest that makes no sense. With a name like Trivia Crack, you'd think trivia is all it does, but no. It's one of two apps on my list of the best trivia and game night apps I'd tell you to skip.

2 out of 5 overall

Trivia Crack

Free, with in-app coin purchases
Available for iOS and Android

Best for: Players who don't mind ads between every question

App Store Google Play

Full-page ads burn data. Your plan shouldn't burn cash

A full-page ad after every answer adds up on a limited data plan. Verizon MVNOs give you the same Verizon coverage for a lot less each month. See the most popular Verizon MVNO plans below:

First of all, you have to sign in with your email, and then it asks how old you are to give you a better experience. I tested it across multiple accounts at different ages and didn't notice any difference in experience despite the personalization prompt.

The trivia was so basic it wasn't even fun.

You start by going through a practice round of trivia, which sounds great, but the way Trivia Crack does it is horrible. You spin a spinner, which lands on a category, and a question pops up. Up until that point, it's fine. The questions are all really basic.

Not even worth playing

“Trivia Crack is absolute trash. Honestly, the game is just absolutely horrible.”

Jessica Santero, WhistleOut Writer

Every answer is followed by a full-page ad before you can tap continue, and it's really distracting. It also pushes you to share your response on social media so the app can get better recognition in the social sphere.

Not sure how to update your apps?

Keeping your apps up to date ensures you're always getting the latest features, bug fixes, and security improvements. Learn how to update the apps on your iPhone and your Android. It takes less time than you think.

Then there's the amusement park

Despite the name, most of the app is built around constructing an amusement park with purchased coins, which has nothing to do with answering questions. You have to buy coins for your amusement park and little objects that you can put in your amusement park. Honestly, I have no idea why. It makes no sense.

I am still baffled by the fact that there's an amusement park in Trivia Crack.

It isn't good for groups

The multiplayer format pits you against random online opponents rather than the people in the room with you, which defeats the point for an in-person game night.

Should you download Trivia Crack? No

The trivia is basic and not even worth playing. I don't know how it's rated so high on the App Store.

If you want trivia for your group, Guess, Sporcle Party, SpyFall, and Gartic Phone all worked well for group play in my testing, and all four are free to download.

How I evaluated Trivia Crack

I judged each app on whether it actually gets a group playing in the same room, not just whether it looks good in a store listing. Here's what I looked for:

Setup time: Can everyone jump in within a minute, or does someone have to walk the group through the rules first?
Group-friendliness: Is this actually built for a room full of people, or does it work better solo or against strangers online?
Ads and monetization: Does the free version interrupt the game, or does it stay out of the way?
Content quality: Are the categories and packs actually appropriate for a mixed group, including public or user-submitted content?
