The sequel to Star Trek: The Game Show, this is worse in every possible way. John De Lancie as Q is gone as the host, and we instead have an extremely obnoxious guy that comes off as a bit creepy and very annoying. Deep Space Nine and Voyager have also been ditched. You can choose to have a quiz about The Original Series, The Next Generation or play a round of both.
In each round, you have four questions in four categories. Half of the categories are puns which often don’t make sense. The questions, as well as the possible answers, often feel rather immature – there are multiple questions about the “Red Shirts always die” joke (with the “correct” answer being a joke rather than an actual event) and a surprising number of questions include sexist remarks towards women, including one where you are asked what Uhura would do if you whispered the Swahili phrase “sisi ngono” in her ear. It essentially means “let’s have sex” with the answer being Uhura laughing and giving you a friendly slap.
While The Game Show is a lot of fun, this one is really not worth playing at all.

How to play Star Trek: Trivia Challenge on Windows 11
This needs to be ran in a Virtual Machine. I installed this in the one created for Generations for an easier way to have a Virtual Machine. You’ll need to go to to CD-ROM – load image to mount the ISO and install the program from there. Note: this will break the Generations game, but uninstalling and reinstalling will reset it.
