I don't know how much they are, but there's a bunch of classic games on the switch. Jeopardy is pretty good. Wheel of fortune. I think there's a trivial pursuit.
For other Jackbox trivia games, fibbage is great, and you don't know jack is too.

Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

+1 for flibbage it’s just a fun game
Go to any goodwill and I guarantee they’ll have a copy of trivial pursuit for sale. Now I will say some of the questions might be a bit dated, but still fun.
My copy of trivial pursuit has several questions that say the n-word. So be prepared for that potentially.
You got the 2025 edition early?!
What? I've never heard of this. What are those questions?
Physical or digital? If digital what platforms are available?
Either physical or digital. And I have access to a PC (with a bunch of emulators) or mobile phones.
Heads Up on your phone is good. We play it with the fam on the holidays. You hold the phone facing away from you with the answer and your teammates give you clues.
My wife always finds fun trivia cards at the thrift store. Maybe check there, unless you're looking specifically for digital games.
My list for zoom party games:
- Jackbox on steam. You host and users join a lobby to play via browser.
- https://www.drawio.com/ pictionary
- https://garticphone.com/ group telephone game pictionary
- https://oneword.games/room/imported-island coop word game
- https://codenames.game/ group caragories
Lot of good ones out there that you could probably DIY but some of them work best at certain player counts. How many people are playing?
It would be anywhere between 2 and 5.
Ah reread you message and you were asking specifically about trivia games. I thought you meant party games in general so I'll just give you one of my favorites anyways!
Just One! - retails for about 20 bucks but you can DIY this with an online random noun generator and some bits of paper and pencils. This plays best with more than 4 players.
Cooperative game where the basic gist is one person is a guesser and everyone else are cluegivers trying to make him guess the mystery word by writing down a one word clue in secret. The catch is before revealing clues to the guesser, the cluegivers have to compare the clues they write with each other and if any of the clues match (or have matching root words) those are taken out and not revealed to the guesser.
Games are out of a total of 13 words and even a getting 7 out of 13 right on your group's first go is considered pretty good!
It's surprisingly fun for such a simple rule set since you have to think of good clues but not necessarily obvious ones that might conflict with other people's clues. I highly recommend it!
For physical games you should try Smart 10 or Beezzerwizzer. They're pretty light and fun to play.
