Game Details

Trivial Pursuit is a board game from Canada in which winning is determined by a player’s ability to answer general knowledge and popular culture questions. Players move their pieces around a board, the squares they land on determining the subject of a question they are asked from a card (from six categories including “history” and “science and nature”). Each correct answer earns a plastic wedge which is slotted into the answerer’s playing piece.

Since the game’s first release in 1981, dozens of themed editions have been released. Some question sets have been designed for younger players, and others for a specific time period or as promotional tie-ins (such as Star Wars, Saturday Night Live, and The Lord of the Rings movies).

History of Games

Below is a list of some of the different Trivial Pursuit versions, editions, and licenses that have been created over the years by Hasbro and other games partners.

NOTE: I did not work on all the below versions, this is simply a list I’ve compiled as a fan and player of Game of Life.
