Trivial Pursuit
- Have you ever played Trivial Pursuit? Then you can thank two friends
who came up with the basic concept of
Trivial Pursuit within a few short hours.
- The pair was playing a game
of Scrabble when they decided to invent their own game.
- However, it was
not until 1981 that the board game was commercially released.
- On
November 10, 1981, "Trivial Pursuit" was trademark registered and it was an
instant hit. That
same month, one thousand and a hundred copies of Trivial Pursuit were
first published in Canada.
- In December 1993, Trivial Pursuit was named
to the "Games Hall of Fame" by Games magazine.
