Description

Trivial Pursuit wasn’t designed in a corporate boardroom — it was dreamed up by two Canadian journalists over beers and a Scrabble game. Journalist and historian Taylor C. Noakes joins Shane Hewitt to reveal the wild, unlikely backstory of one of the world’s best-selling board games.

Discover how a simple idea turned into a cultural juggernaut, why the game's design was a game-changer itself, and what makes Trivial Pursuit timeless. Plus: a trivia question about Trivial Pursuit itself. Can Shane get it right?
