Most people will never get to be on a game show, but the AppQuiz gaming device lets you play game shows from the comfort of your home, and the bonus is you get to play against your friends. This [iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/netflix-3) dock features four buzzers that allow you and your friends to play a variety of different app games against each other, game show style.

AppQuiz comes with a quiz show game that has over 4,000 questions. The show is hosted by virtual host Chuck Boldhart who keeps things entertaining. There are also a number of mini-games that can be played using the AppQuiz.

The AppQuiz is best suited for the iPad, but it also is compatible with the [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/assassins-creed-mirage-game). The smaller screen on the iPhone means that you and your friends have to get a lot more friendly so everyone can see the screen though.
