In compiling this edition, we have tried to create a challenging but entertaining set of questions that can be played with the standard Trivial Pursuit set. Simply use the colour coding for the questions blue, pink etc., to match the colours of the wedges and the game board.
During our test runs we had a great deal of fun and there was much laughter particularly during the lyrics questions.
Because it is unusual to find individuals equipped with the range of knowledge to cover every category in this game, we found it best to play in teams. That way knowledge can be pooled and the competition is much more entertaining.
As with the original Trivial Pursuit game we also found it helped if a few clues were allowed. We limited this to non-wedge questions and that seemed to be very fair.
If you do not have a Trivial Pursuit set you can download a free scorecard from our website at: www.triviamundi.co.uk. Enjoy!
