Couch Party Trivia turns any get-together into trivia night. Prop up the phone or iPad, split into teams, read the question off the screen, and race to answer together. This is trivia made to be played out loud with other people. Pass it around, shout answers, argue the calls, and keep the whole group in the game. Thousands of questions across the decades ('80s, '90s, 2000s, 2010s), plus music, sports, history, and more. Every category plays from Easy all the way to Expert, and when a round runs out, one click levels the group up and keeps going. Kids Corner: one tap flips the whole game kid-friendly, with age settings for 2 to 5, 5 to 10, and 10 to 18. Flip it back and the grown-up game is right where you left it. Perfect for a mixed-age room. No accounts. Nothing to set up. Tap anywhere to advance, swipe right to reveal everything. Free to download. Your first 50 questions open every single topic. After that, Geography, Science & Nature and Kids Corner keep playing free forever, and a one-time unlock opens every topic, the General mix and the decade packs for good. Buy it once and it works on Apple TV, iPhone, and iPad, and shares with your family.
