True Crime Trivia: 350 Questions & Answers to Quiz Yourself and Challenge Your Friends
by Michelle Tooker is a very highly recommended trivia book that is
perfect for a game night. We undertook the challenge with a mixed group
of true crime fans and others up for the quiz. More on that later.
The book is organized
into seven chapters on the following topics: Unsolved Mysteries &
Cold Cases, Serial Killers, Podcasts, Celebrity Crimes, Heists &
Robberies, Facts & Figures, and a Grab Bag for a total of 350
questions. Each of the questions is multiple choice or true or false.
Each chapter is followed by a separate/corresponding chapter with the
correct answer and a paragraph of additional information about the case
or topic involved. The organization of the book makes it very easy to
use this for a trivia game night. At the end of the book the sources for
each chapter question are listed for those who want to look it up.
You can follow each
chapter straight through, or pick and choose from various chapters. This
book has the content for multiple game nights, or at least with the
group I had gathered together. There were plenty of additional
discussions about a topic after the answer was revealed. You can also
sign up for the VIP readers group and get a link to a printable
scorecard as well as a bonus chapter on cults.
We ended up starting
at the beginning and then soon started jumping to different chapters,
sampling questions from several. We did not have time to sample
questions from every chapter. The group decided to not use the score
cards this time, however we are planning to do this again and may use
them then. Honestly, we hardly made a dent in all the questions
presented in each chapter we sampled and had an enjoyable evening
tackling the questions that we did.
You would have
thought that the true crime fans had an advantage, but those who follow
or pay attention the news also did well. (We did by-pass the podcast
chapter, which would have given the true crime fans an advantage.) The
discussions prompted by many questions were fun and lively. I'm looking
forward to several other trivia nights with True Crime Trivia and tackling the additional chapter on cults.
