60 of 117 · most liked firstPapa's Quiz is an underrated, quirky and fun little trivia game. It plays very similarly to the popular Jackbox games, but with some added panache. If you are looking for a fun game to play with your friends, either on Discord or locally, I recommend picking this one up. Pros Extensive range of trivia categories and questions. Simple interface with an easy connection. Frivolous fun with light-hearted humour, dancing and dialogue. Ridiculously ludicrous avatar creation.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →played this last night for about 5 hours with my in laws on zoom. Worked perfectly and questions were up to date topics. highly recommend for a fun quiz night with the family
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think this is a good alternative for the Jackbox games but it is not as polished as some of the Jackbox trivia games. I like that there is a variety of categories to choose from and and I like the character customization. However, one trivia game can go on for a bit long in my opinion. A game is usually about 20 minutes with 5 rounds. I think maybe the game developers could look into letting the players customize the amount of rounds per game, if people want to play a short trivia game. Also…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent game in a genre that has surprisingly few good games. Few suggestions to make it even better, 1. Have an option get rid of the dancing between rounds, we never used it and it just slowed down the game. 2. Have the answers on the device the players on using as well as the main screen to get around some latency issues. 3. Since the game is using Text to Speech options for the voicing, some options to change to different voices would be nice. 4. Adding in a few different topic selector…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The "trivia" aspect part of the game is hilariously bad, the dancing is fun for about 5 seconds before you realise almost no effort has gone into it. All the voices appear to be auto generated, we played three games the first was to try it and the second two were to see how bad it could get, if youre looking for a jackbox close you are better off going with use your words. Some ok ideas here but needs a lot of work sorry.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun game to play with friends and family, you will laugh and definitely start competing against each other. Good variation of questions, i like the "steal points" round.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great quiz game with a twist. Definitely one of the best trivia games on Steam, and for a low price, too. It may look weird but don't be put off by that. There is an option for a Quick Game which focuses only on the trivia without the fluff around it if somebody doesn't like it. With over 3 thousand questions repetition is also non-existent for quite a while.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an AI generated game start to finish. The most fun my friend and I had were making fun of how janky this game is. I got it for free so I definitely got my moneys worth but I woulnd't pay more than a few bucks for this because there are definitely way better trivia games out there for the price. It's hard to recommend because it is objectively bad, but my friends did have fun with it, so IDK
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You know jackbox? This isn't quite that Its a trivia game, but done in a quirky style. I had fun, I enjoyed it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was trying to play one of the Jackbox Party Packs with some friends on New Year's Eve, but the huge influx of people playing for the holiday were causing some server issues and we kept getting disconnected. We switched to Papa's Quiz and all started laughing harder than we had all night as soon as our custom characters got up and started dancing. Papa's Quiz really stands out compared to other similar trivia party games for its unique features including character creation, amusing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay game, but voices are really just text-to-speech
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun to play with either your partner, friends or family. Love that it's not too hard, or easy. Thanks to Dan and Phil for playing this randomly one day.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got this on sale for 4 dollars to play with friends during the holidays. Honestly for that price, I think it was really worth it. I like how you do it on your phone, its accessible. Good categories (even though no one would let me pick Eurovision!) and a cute set up. The AI voice is a little much sometimes but I chalk that up to being AI'd out in 2024. If you want something you can pick up with friends for a little bit of fun, I think this is worth buying on sale.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I tap, tap, tap on my keyboard to write this review. I'd tap this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a lot of fun. It works exactly like a Jackbox game. They even let you do Gangnam Style! Hope they keep it updated.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →AI voiced, boring gameplay. You Don't Know Jack is the far superior trivia game. Only buy this if its on sale for a dollar.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love papas quiz, papa and I have so much fun, it is a fun and silly time on discord with the boys lets go papas quiz
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →awesome sausage
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →papa is going to dance
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bonkers quiz fun with good co-op/multiplayer options. Worth the low price I picked it up for for sure!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hidden gem, if you're looking for a simple party game to play virtually with friends via Discord - I'd recommend. I can see some people having an issue with the full price (I was fortunate to pick this up on sale), but even at full price I think $12 for an hour or several hours of entertainment with your friends is reasonable. I don't think this game is trying to be anything it's not. Sure, it's not as polished as a Jackbox game - but this is a far smaller developer with far less resources…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Papa Recommended To Me That Next Time Someone Comes Over And They Lose At A Game, We Make Them Dance For Us! Thanks Papa! Loved Your Game And Ideas!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i was uncle nut and i got to do a little dance
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Papa's Quiz is an entertaining game and it's perfect for players looking for a lighthearted and fun game to play with friends or family.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good family game, good trivia, great price
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a great little quiz. I played it with members of our community centre who all sat around the screen and everyone loved it. It's fun that you can create your own characters, and have a dance between rounds. I liked the mixture of questions and pictures, and the final round is fun. You log in using your mobile phone or tablet, then enter an online code. Controls are simple and easy to use too. The only thing I would like added are various options, such as length of quiz or accessibility…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly, this is a better trivia game than every version of Jackbox. Like, this is some SERIOUS hardcore trivia, in a fun playstyle... set with an Indian accent host? We were surprised how good this game was for couch-coop. A total win!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game requires a good amount of engagement but doesn't require as much as Jackbox which makes it great for those really casual sessions where people don't want to think too much. The commentator is funny in both the script and accent. (Sorry if the accent was never supposed to be funny and I just offended the person who did the voice over.) One of the greatest strengths of this game is that the content is quite diverse in terms of culture and country compared to Trivia Murder Party in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good trivia game. You can play over zoom or twitch with friends. The dancing part is great. Best. Dance. Ever.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have been looking at this game for a while and it looked really fun. The voice of the 'game host' is the most aggravating thing i or anyone i played with have ever heard. The game seriously lags for others when it is streamed (which is how it is advertises to be played). Overall it is not what we were expecting and is not fun or pleasing to play.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →best quality of service
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Of all the Jackbox-style games, this is one of the best. Played it with friends last night, no idea what to expect, and we were laughing a ton. The trivia itself is pretty standard fare, but the characters, the dancing, and all the interstitials are hysterical. Also, it all works just great without glitches, feels very polished. Hope they continue to innovate on the quiz gameplay to make it as goofy as the rest of the game, but regardless it's terrific and I highly recommend it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game for playing on discord or VC. Only played 10 games so don't know how many questions there are (no duplicates yet). But defiantly recommend for any people wanting a fun quizzer with remote friends.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I booted this game up and screen-shared it on Discord. We had no idea what to expect. However, from the moment the character selection loaded we knew this game was an instant winner. The quick quips of the announcer is far better than the inane rambling of Jackbox. There are five rounds to this game. To select a quiz category, players must mash their keypads on their phone screen in order to move the cursor - a minigame within the game itself! The quiz rounds are simple, but effective. There is…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game. Entertained a group of 10 kids for hours. They actually put down mario kart to play this. Adults loved it too. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pick it up on sale, its a fun game that you can play with relatives and friends. Easy to navigate (even for the gaming-inept out there), fun animations and not too US-centrered questions (from what I recall).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just wish it had Regis Philbin doing the voice over.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super fun trivia game! More people need to know about this game. We had so much fun playing it with two players. Well made game with funny humor! Easy to play with mobile phones
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun multiplayer quiz game that can be streamed on the tv. Me and my fiance had a great time playing it. Lots of different catagories including things like Disney which I love. You can fully customise your characters and you get to have little dance offs.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great party game, very similar to the Jackbox games but focused on trivia. Works very well for a lot of people and like Jackbox, only one person needs to own it and can stream it through Discord or a laptop if you're face to face. It's a bit silly but always a laugh with the dancing and funny characters. My only complaint really is that it always follows the same format; it's super fun the first few times and it does remain fun still, but it would be nice if there was a little variation each…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like this game. Kinda similar to Jackbox game. My only problem is the voice acting. Gotta sharpen my general knowledge.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →10/10 Please make Papa's Quiz 2
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really funky game that plays like a jackbox game but requires less creativity and more pure trivia. Very quirky and funny character maker. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a very quick and easy party game on the coach or over discord.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It´s a much have if you like quiz and party games
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A brilliant little party game, with great topics, questions and humour. Perfect for streamers to play with their community. I LOVE this game! Can’t wait to see more!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good family game overall. Good points: Wide range of questions with easy-medium difficulty. Nothing to obscure or technical. Streaming is easy to set up, with up to 8 players. Different rounds, with the final being a knockout round, so everyone gets a chance to stay in it. Bad points: The presentation wont appeal to everyone. Its cartoony and you do dances at the end of rounds (can be skipped). Fun for families, but might annoy hardcore trivia buffs. The presenters voice is computer…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I received this game to review on my stream. TL;DR Fun game that is a little too repetitive and not perfect for streaming. It is kind of hard to not enjoy a trivia game and it was a fun experience. The interactions between the host and co-host became very tiresome very quickly and it would be nice to not have those as an option. I really did enjoy that the last round gave everyone somewhat of a chance and really having a commanding deficit going into the last round is not insurmountable at…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A really great game and family friendly. There's also a lot of variety in the question categories and round game styles. I like how some of the categories are labeled kid friendly. It would be great if there was an option setting to set it to kid only questions so you don't have to skip categories. I'd also love it if they add questions packs so we can keep playing with even more categories.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game barely functions as a stream game. It might be okay for local play, but it's nothing exciting.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like trivia this game has a large variety, plays similar to jackbox , however, friendlier. The questions are fun and some of it is pretty recent as well. Very to play in these virtual times.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a nice, cheap Jackbox Party game alternative. I just wished winning didn't rely too much on your performance on the last round; where all your score is transformed into time to answer the question. You can take as much as you want to answer, but you have to be fast to keep yourself time. If you answer correctly you get more time, I'd you don't then you lose a few more seconds. I did 3 games so far, and my friend who didn't got a great score after 4 rounds, every time, beat us all…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really good quiz and love how you can use your mobiles and tablets as controllers. The questions seem very generic and not targeted to a particular country which is good. Great for family and friends. Educational and fun at the same time. My kids also love it with the option of junior questions.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Surprisingly a fun party game. Enjoyed it almost as much as a Jackbox game. As long as they keep updating it with more questions/outfits, I'd say it's definitely worth your money.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →stellar banter between hosts
