Doesn’t live up to the magazine. I love the Mental Floss magazine and blogs. I am a huge, huge fan. I was super excited to get this game. So, believe me when I say that this game is just not that good. It’s not challenging, and two adults can complete Mental Floss Trivia Game in under 15 minutes. I know this because every time I’ve played it, it’s taken only that long–and I certainly don’t mean that my friends and I were just so smart that we got through it quickly, I mean that it’s just a very, very quick game. A game this quick is just not that fun to play. Some of the questions are moderate to difficult, but the vast majority have really obvious, simple answers that don’t challenge the players. Easy, dull questions combined with a laughably short playing time mean that this game will not be taken off my shelf very often, if ever again. I considered giving it two stars, but I’m just so disappointed that Mental Floss would market this game that I had to knock it down a star.

Not a good game for everyone… A group of friends get together weekly to play games. We normally have some cocktails and have a good time. We bought this game and tried it out last week. Our ages are between 26 – 36 years old. We didn’t even finish this game. It’s REALLY HARD. We played for an hour or so and the object of the game is to collect 6 tokens to win. After an hour we had only got 3 tokens. So, that means out of 15-20 questions we only got 3 right. If you are good with trivia then you will like it. We aren’t. We don’t know about past kings or even solar system questions. Not for us. The instructions say that the farther done the pile of questions you get the harder they will be. Well, we were stuck on the top of the pile!!!

Brain all gummed up? Try Mental Floss!. Brain all gummed up after too much work and no play? Well then try Mental Floss! Mental Floss ties knots around the fluffy newer trivia games. Be prepared for some fun and fascinating literature, nature and science questions. I found them much less pop-culturesque than many Trivial Pursuit questions. The premise is simple, pick a colored gamepiece and place it on a like colored square. Roll the dice, land of the appropriate square and you’ll answer either a “left-brained question” (regarding something sciency), a “right-brained question” (something literary or artsy) or you’ll get the chance to to dispel “the big fat lie”, wherein you must decide which one of two historical situations is true and which one is false; a correct answer to either of the three will win you a token (6 tokens will win you the game). Once in a while you may land on a space entitling you to a chance at an “Enlightening Round”. For that, answer 3 related questions and win a token (or risk it all to answer the hardest question to win another turn). A unique plus: play goes back and forth between players and the questions are less obscure so it’s a much faster game than TP. I’d recommend the game for knowledgeable children and adults 12+. The negatives of the game are the game pieces: the colored gamepieces are boring and made from a colored sticker and plastic. And the tokens? They’re made of cardboard. It’s not like it’s Barbie Trivia Game- the manufacturer recommends it for players 15+ (pretty much adults)! So, I’m left to wonder why they created such a great game and spent no time on the tangibles. Despite it’s material flaws, it is a fun and interesting addition to anyone’s board game collection, with refreshing questions worth knowing the answers to!
