This is a great trivia game which will keep you entertained for hours. It’s a favorite of ours as in this game you bet money on different answer options to very difficult trivia questions which it makes it so much more interesting and fun than your average trivia game.
The actual questions are outlandish too like ‘what’s the average number of pizza slices eaten by Americans each day?’. You’re not really expected to know the answer but by betting on different answers it introduces a whole new element to the game – which is what makes it so unique. A must have for any fan of trivia games.
