I'm a massive fan of the British panel show QI, despite being from the States. It's a great font of absurd knowledge. The research team behind it just released a modest (but quite polished) game of word golf, where the 'prize' for completing a puzzle is one of their many strange facts.
Aside from being a competent game and a nice little brain teaser, they did something I quite like - it has a real single-player mode! Or, you can compete with friends if you have those.
