Editorial Reviews

There are probably people who know more about trivia than Austin Rogers, and maybe even a few who know more about bars. But I can't think of anyone who knows more about both. Lazy pub quiz hosts will be cribbing from this fantastic book for decades!”
—Ken Jennings, bestselling author and Jeopardy! Greatest of All Time

“The only thing more fun than playing against Austin Rogers on Jeopardy! is playing alongside him at pub trivia. This guy really knows his stuff, and this book is a must-have for anyone who is serious about trivia.”
—Buzzy Cohen, Jeopardy! Champion and Guest Host, and author of Get Ready: A Champion’s Guide to Preparing for the Moments That Matter

"Rogers peppers the work with interesting, clever, and sometimes funny facts and commentary.... A winning collection of brain teasers."

From the Publisher

Trivia challenges never grow old, and Rogers, a Jeopardy! All-Star and host of the podcast A Lot To Learn with Austin Rogers, has compiled a hefty 78 games (of four rounds each). The questions range in difficulty, from straightforward Level 1 ("She founded the American Red Cross") to complex and arcane Level 6 ("One point for each of the 10 plagues of Egypt"). Some quizzes also include illustrations (flags, road signs), math, and two-part questions. Wide-ranging questions take on everything from poetry to shoes to colors to sports. An opinionated host, Rogers peppers the work with interesting, clever, and sometimes funny facts and commentary. A concluding section on planning trivia nights ensures a fun evening, whether readers are playing at home or planning for a bar crowd. VERDICT With more than 3,000 questions, this is a winning collection of brain teasers for any library.
