How to use these at home or in class

There is no single right way to run a trivia round. At home, read a few out at dinner and let everyone shout their answer before you tap to reveal it. In the car, pick one topic and work through it together. At a sleepover or a birthday, split into teams and keep score on a scrap of paper.

Teachers, these work well as a five minute warm up or a brain break between lessons. Pick a topic that lines up with what you are teaching, or mix a few together for a quick general knowledge round. Every answer comes with a little extra detail, so there is usually something to chat about once the answer is out.
