5.0 out of 5 stars
Fun for Everyone!,
By Peggy Grossmann (Little Rock, Arkansas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Original Trivia Treasury: 1,001 Questions for Competitive Play (Paperback)
This book contains questions with the answers in the back of the book. No two answers are on the same page, so the person asking the questions can play along, too. My family has used this book for entertainment on long auto trips and at parties with groups of people whose ages range from 15 to 75. We have formed teams and the competition was fierce! The content appeals to all ages. The questions are arranged by category and difficulty. There are true/false and multiple choice questions. Types of games which can be played are suggested, but the reader can creat his own game depending on the circumstances.

This review is from: The Original Trivia Treasury: 1,001 Questions for Competitive Play (Paperback)
I bought this book to host trivia nights with friends.
There are many sections with multiple choice answers which I found very helpful. Unfortunately I found that many of the questions are geared towards Americans, American sports questions, American geography and American general knowledge and not so much general knowledge worldwide. Overall, I am a little disappointed with the book.
