Dad Rock: The Ultimate Music Trivia Game from LPs to MP3s

by Conrad Doucette

Overview

In each round of Dad Rock, players can choose to answer "A-Side" questions for one point, or, if they're feeling adventurous, try a "B-Side" quiz featuring multiple trivia questions (the “playlist”) that have something in common (the “algorithm”), earning additional points for each correct answer, plus bonus points for guessing the algorithm. The more answers they know, the more clues they’ll have for figuring out the connection—and if they figure it out early, they’ll have extra help with the remaining answers. With gameplay that lets casual music fans compete alongside dedicated Deadheads and their ilk, Dad Rock is the single best way to rock a game night (or pre-concert tailgate party) ... and that's the vinyl word!
