MY THOUGHTS:

I love Trivial Pursuit but since we’ve had kids, sitting down to play the game has been a challenge. My husband also is not a big fan of Trivial Pursuit either because he doesn’t know many of the answers. Trivial Pursuit – Bet You Know It is a super fun and addicting game. It combines the classic Trivial Pursuit game with betting points. It is a fast paced game where you can bet chips whether you and your friends will answer correctly. You can even bet whether your friends will answer correctly! It can be an awesome party game for up to four players. The first time you play too there is a tutorial to walk you through gameplay but it is easily turned off.

So far I have only had the chance to play Single Player mode but I can’t wait to play Multiplayer mode at our next get together! It is nice too in single player mode you don’t have to play against a computer so you can go at your own pace and just have fun answering questions. The questions also include current topics, including movies and celebrities (Katy Perry) from the present. Your goal is to answer questions in all six categories to fill your pie with wedges. The betting option is fun because it allows you to buy categories you need or change the topics!

Miss the original Trivial Pursuit? Its there too! You can change to Classic Trivial Pursuit! So its like two games in one with lots of different ways to play in each! Definitely a fun game both alone or in a group!

BUY IT: Look for “Trivial Pursuit – Bet You Know It” for the Nintendo Wii online or wherever video games are sold!
