10 Best Trivia Games on Xbox One & Xbox Series X|S(November 2025)

Sometimes, you don’t need to dodge bullets or slay dragons, sometimes, you just want to prove you know things. Whether you’re looking to kill time with friends or flex those oddly specific facts stuck in your brain, trivia games offer the perfect break from all the shooters, grind-heavy RPGs, and open-world chaos. And this month, with a few new releases and fan-favourite games making a comeback, there’s no better time to highlight the best trivia games available on Xbox. From fast-paced quiz shows to sarcastic party chaos, these are the games that make you laugh, yell at your friends, guess wildly, and realize you know way too much about 2000s pop music and ’90s snack brands.

10. It’s Quiz Time

Think Jeopardy! meets Just Dance energy. It’s Quiz Time puts you and up to 8 players in a trivia showdown that feels like a game show after too much soda. The AI host Salli learns your play style and dishes out customized questions. There’s a wild range here, from serious topics like history and science to random pop culture chaos. Perfect for parties, but chaotic when players start trolling each other with wrong answers just for the laughs. It’s a little janky in places, but still unique, it’s trivia with personality.

9. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

Yup, it’s most probably the one you’re thinking about. The Xbox version brings back the drama of the TV classic. There’s the timer, the lights, and even the lifelines. Questions start off insultingly easy, then slam you with curveballs by the third tier. The real fun starts in local multiplayer mode, where it’s less about knowledge and more about pressure. You’ll feel like a genius and overconfident until an unexpected question about a topic in French geography knocks you out at 16,000 coins. Still, it’s a polished trivia throwback that scratches that itch and brings back memories.

8. Knowledge is Power

Knowledge is Power links your phones to your Xbox, letting you buzz in and throw slime or freeze onto your opponents before they answer. The questions themselves span history, entertainment, and some surprising niche topics. If you’ve ever wanted to sabotage your friends while pretending to be smart, this one’s for you. It looks like a cartoon game show, but the mechanics get hilariously petty. It’s trivia, but with a side of revenge. Bonus points for no controllers needed.

7. Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?

Prepare to be humbled with this classic. This game has actual 5th-grade-level questions that somehow feel harder than rocket science. There’s a classroom vibe, an animated host, and a full season-style progression where you answer questions from different subjects. It’s both charming and painful when your brain freezes on a question about the water cycle. The art style is light and friendly, but the difficulty will expose gaps in your childhood education you didn’t know existed. Great for families or for roasting your friends when they misspell words.

6. Trivial Pursuit Live! 2

Classic trivia fans will feel at home here. Trivial Pursuit Live! 2 turns the board game into a full game show format. You spin categories, collect wedges, and go head-to-head in rounds where knowledge really is power. This version feels a lot slicker than the first, with cleaner visuals and tighter pacing. Also, the questions feel fresher,none of that outdated who won the Grammy in 1983 nonsense. It’s great with friends or strangers online, but also fun solo when you want to flex in peace.

5. Quiplash 2: Jackbox Party Pack 3

Not your usual trivia, but it’s here for a reason. Quiplash is all about filling in blanks with the funniest, weirdest answers possible, and then letting players vote on which is best. There’s trivia-adjacent knowledge here, but it’s really about wit, timing, and being just the right amount of unhinged. It’s endlessly replayable and chaotic when the right crowd is involved. You can win with actual cleverness or with dumb jokes that hit just right. Either way, it’s peak Xbox party energy.

4. Scene It? Movie Night

Scene It is most definitely a great fit for cinephiles. It packs in movie scenes, quotes, and trivia all together like a bundle. It’s like a pop quiz for film nerds, with questions that test if you’ve actually been watching or just faking it. It’s also less about random general knowledge and more about how much you remember from your binge-watching sessions. Perfect if you’ve memorized dialogue from ’90s blockbusters and animated classics. Not ideal if you haven’t watched a movie since Frozen.

3. Jackbox Party Pack 10 – Timejinx

Imagine being a time traveller with terrible memory, that’s Timejinx. Your job? Guess exactly when stuff happened. Easy, right? Until you’re juggling sports scandals, ancient history, and weird internet moments from 2006. The closer your guess, the fewer points you lose. It’s fast, hilarious, and yes, it roasts you for being off by a few centuries. It’s like time-travel school with memes, and somehow, it makes learning dates actually fun.

 2. Smarty Pants

Finally, a trivia game that won’t make your little cousin cry or let Grandma dominate by accident. Smarty Pants lets everyone play on a level field with age-based questions, so no one gets stuck answering college-level physics when they’re barely out of cartoons. With tons of categories from animals to pop culture, bright visuals, and lightning-fast rounds, it’s perfect for family game night or friendly feuds. Think of it as trivia with training wheels or rocket boosters, depending on how smart you really are.

1. You Don’t Know Jack: Full Stream (Jackbox Party Pack 5)

Nothing tops You Don’t Know Jack. It’s trivia, but dripping with sarcasm, fake sponsors, and brain-twisting humor. The questions don’t just test facts; they also twist logic, wordplay, and pop culture references into mini puzzles. Expect questions like Which of these rappers would lose in a spelling bee? with answers that all feel wrong and right at the same time. What makes it top-tier is how it blends comedy and being clever. Even if you lose, you’re laughing. Even if you win, you probably got roasted. It’s pure trivia chaos, and on Xbox, it’s the gold standard for trivia nights.
