With this free Christmas Trivia Board Game, tonight your living room becomes the merriest game show in town.
Pick a category, choose your points, and race to answer before anyone else. Easy questions are worth a little, tricky ones are worth a lot, and only one team will be crowned the Christmas Trivia Champion.
Ready, set… jingle!
The objective is for players to answer questions in the form of a question (e.g., “What is…?” or “Who is…?”) to earn “money.”
1. Put up the sign that shows the categories and dollar amounts so that everyone can see it. Lower numbers ($100) are easier, while the highest ($500) are the most challenging.
2. Assign a host who will read the clues. Decide if you want to play as “players” or as “teams.” If you play as a teams, the team has 60 seconds to discuss with their team members before answering the question.
3. One player or team chooses a category and points. The host reads the clue, and the players race to buzz in first.
4. Players answer in the form of a question.
Example: “The fruit is known as the king of fruits.” Correct Answer: “What is a mango?”
5. If the answer is correct, the player earns the points/money and selects the next clue. If it’s incorrect, the points are deducted from the player’s score.
6. Continue keeping score and answering questions until they are done or you’ve reached a pre-determined time limit. The winner is the player with the most points/money at the end.
Some hosts choose to give fun prizes for the winners. This makes the game even more exciting while encouraging friendly competition.
