Is Christmas even Christmas if you haven't been challenges to a round of Trivial Pursuit or other quiz-type board game, only to realise how little you actually know?
Trivial Pursuit is a board game where a player needs to collect six different coloured wedges by answering trivia and popular culture questions. There are many different versions of the game, including the Master Game - Genus Edition to The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter versions.
Invented in 1981, it's one of the most successful games of all times. As with most Trivial Pursuit editions, the difficulty of the questions is mixed - so while some are quite obscure, others are very easy. But if you're stuck for something to do this Christmas, why not test your family's knowledge by asking them some of the hardest Trivial Pursuit questions in history? Or test your own general knowledge right now?
Read on for the 12 hardest trivial Pursuit questions of all, and let us know if you're one of the smart people who can actually answer it.
