The rights to the game were initially licensed to Selchow and Righter in 1982, then to Parker Brothers (later part of Hasbro) in 1988, after initially being turned down by the Virgin Group in 2008 Hasbro bought the full rights, for US$80 million.

During the development of the game, some of the early work and question writing was completed by Chris and John Haney in Weymouth Library, Dorset where they were staying with family. With the help of John Haney and Ed Werner, they completed development of the game, which was released in 1981. After finding pieces of their Scrabble game missing, they decided to create their own game. The game was created on December 15, 1979, in Montreal, Quebec, by Chris Haney, a photo editor for Montreal's The Gazette, and Scott Abbott, a sports editor for The Canadian Press. Some question sets have been designed for younger players, and others for a specific time period or as promotional tie-ins (such as Star Wars, Saturday Night Live, and The Lord of the Rings movies). Since the game's first release in 1981, numerous themed editions have been released. The object of the game is to collect all six wedges from each 'category headquarters' space, and then return to the center 'hub' space to answer a question in a category selected by the other players. Each correct answer allows the player's turn to continue a correct answer on one of the six 'category headquarters' spaces earns a plastic wedge which is slotted into the answerer's playing piece. Players move their pieces around a board, the squares they land on determining the subject of a question they are asked from a card (from six categories including 'history' and 'science and nature'). Trivial Pursuit is a board game in which winning is determined by a player's ability to answer general knowledge and popular culture questions. General knowledge, knowledge of popular culture If the main-game champion managed to knockout everybody else's wedges before they knockout his/hers, s/he won the prize package.īased on the board game of the same name by Selchow & Righter/Horn Abbot (later Parker Brothers, now Hasbro).For other uses, see Trivial Pursuit (disambiguation). A wrong answer by the champion would eliminate one of his/her own wedges a right one would eliminate one of his/her opponent's wedges.

The winning contestant would move to a separate podium, and would face off against them in a series of jump-in questions. The winner will try to win that $10,000 package in an elimination-style bonus round here, the lit wedges from the front game serve as 'lives' in a sense (much like another Wolpert game, Hit Man). A player could either hope to try and get the car by proceeding down his/her path, or choosing to spin his/her pie if s/he landed on a lit wedge, s/he automatically won the game and advanced to the hub. The third round had a car being hidden on the players' untraversed paths. Added to each player's path to the hub would be a prize, located on the part of the path the player hadn't traversed yet.

The second round of play proceeded similarly, but with a few twists if a question is answered incorrectly, the contestant who bought the question could answer it themselves. Every right answer would get them one space closer to the hub, and light a wedge on their pie. The person could either take what one of their opponents had 'purchased' in that category, or change the category. Hard questions cost $100, medium questions cost only $50 and easy questions were free. The difficulty of the questions (in the six categories normally used in Trivial Pursuit games of the period) were decided by the counterclockwise player who bought one using his/her money. The object of the game is to answer six questions correctly to reach the hub (the center of the game board) and at the same time, light up all six wedges of the pie in front of them. Four contestants compete for a chance to win over $10,000 in cash & prizes.
