Brain Teasers Quiz

Riddles, lateral thinking, and the particular silence of a table that has all gone blank at once.

A hundred and forty brain teasers, riddles and conundrums in the same small hard-backed box as the rest of the Games Room range. Not trivia - you cannot know these, you have to work them out, which changes the dynamic completely. The person who wins at general knowledge is frequently useless here, and everybody enjoys that.

Multiple choice keeps it moving, so nobody sits stuck on one card for five minutes while the rest of the table loses interest. It works as a party game and equally well as a two-person thing over coffee, which is unusual for the format. Cards store in the box, the box is 9 x 13 x 5cm, and that is the entire product.

Perfect for: The person who does the cryptic crossword and would like everybody else to suffer a little.
