Reviews of my favourite websites for trivia questions and answers
In the process of feeding my addiction I have found some fantastic trivia and quiz websites so I decided to put together this page to share them with you. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
If you know any great sites I have missed here please add them at the bottom of the page.
Contents at a Glance
Factacular
My favourite place to challenge myself
Factacular is my number 1 favourite trivia website. With it's enormous "factopedia" it can help make learning history, science and all sorts of facts lots of fun. They run regular individual and team tournaments so you can test yourself against the crowd and make friends around the world at the same time. You can contribute facts and the forums are friendly and fun.The categories vary hugely and include topics from all world perspectives because of users being able to suggest additions. A random selection from the top of the page today includes: Fictional computers, nascar drivers nicknames, who's who from Australia, Grammy award winners and impressionist painters.
Give it a try and I bet you will be hooked too!
Sporcle
"Mentally Stimulating Diversions"
Sporcle has been around since 2007 but I was slow to discover this site only stumbling across it last year. There is plenty here to keep you entertained with over 4000 Sporcle created games and 144000 user created games.Topics include all the usual suspects, geography, movies, science, sport and arts but you can also find things like gaming, religion and games on interesting words. The quizzes are timed adding an element of excitement as you try to beat the clock. My only complaint is that the sports quizzes are almost exclusively about US based sports. Perhaps I should submit a cricket game to remedy that ;)
Sprocle differs from Factacular in that there is no community and tournament component however you can challenge your friends via email. You can play the games here without signing up but if you do create a free account you are able to keep track of your personal statistics and the games you have played.
The Top 10 of Everything
Russell Ash
Top 10 of Everything 2011 (Top Ten of Everything)
Amazon Price: $5.98 (as of 05/30/2012)
The Top 10 of Everything is the perfect book for anyone who wants to write their own questions or who just loves statistics and facts. Which is the best selling car worldwide? Which country has the most people in prison? What is Will Smith's most financially successful film? There is enough here to keep you busy for weeks.
FilmWise
Home of the famous movie invisible quizzes
FilmWise is my number one movie trivia site. It offers very challenging quizzes that are great for movie buffs and people with ridiculously good visual memory ;)Among my favourite games here are the themed quizzes. For example in the quiz "doors doors and more doors" still shots of doors from various well known films are presented for you to name the film. However their best known quizzes are the "invisibles" where the actors have been removed and only the background and their clothing remains. These are so much harder than you think they will be.
No need to sign up unless you want to join the very active forums with even more trivia fun and games going on.

Mental Floss offer a great range of interesting books that will help you improve your general knowledge in a fun way. They make great gifts as almost everyone loves a little bit of trivia. This book is just the one for you if you never got around to reading James Joice's Ulysses, don't really have a basic knowledge of Jazz and have no idea what Genghis Khan actually achieved. It contains 44 2-page "chapters" that each include really interesting information about a topic suitable for interesting conversation or just for interest.
