Trivial Pursuit with Xbox Live


Robot Monkey

Recommended Posts

Hey, neat, there's a Trivial Pursuit game coming with Xbox Live support and a $30 MSRP. In addition to the Classic mode there is an "unhinged" mode:

 

In Unhinged mode, players can now steal wedges, bet as to whether other players will answer correctly, earn and spend bonus points, as well as a plethora of additional special moves and squares that keep the game entertaining.

 

Some more information is available in what looks like a press release on TeamXbox.

I wish I knew. Because it's Live, I don't see why it couldn't be more old fashioned. You could say your answer and then the card is flipped over. If everyone agrees you got it right you move on.

 

That's what I was wondering too. If you were playing with people you trusted, it could work, but that would be nearly impossible to enforce in a random game.

If it's multiple choice it's going to be far to easy. That said, if it's not multiple choice typing is gonna suck.

 

Any of you guys play that NTN trivia at bars & restaurants? I play it all the time...fun shit while you're drinking. Trivial Pursuit is easy by comparison.

Oh yeah. I tend to own the place when I play, but maybe I play against losers. Or maybe it's because I'm the only sober one.

I might be confused but I think Pee Wee was announced and then replaced by the annoying Zappa before the show began. Then again, I may be thinking of a different trivia game show.

 

The more I think about it...I do think Zappa hosted a copycat show.

You are. I watched YDKJ (I was number 4 of 5 for its viewership :P) and I can confirm Reubens did host it, as a character whose name eludes me. I kinda liked the show, it got some of the humor of the game down pat.

 

My favorite part was the million dollar question where he had to finish the question before the contestants could answer, and every week they had some ridiculous reason why the question didn't get finished until it was down to like a buck fifty.

 

The best one was when a horde of ninjas descended from the ceiling and Reubens fought them off while the question ticked down. I like that kind of insanity though ;).

Gamespot has attached a 24 Feb 04 release date to the title, Trivial Pursuit Unhinged.

 

A news item there gives the following list of celebrities and the categories they're responsible for:

 

Terry Bradshaw - Sports & Leisure

Brooke Burke - People & Places

John Cleese - History

Whoopi Goldberg - Arts & Entertainment

John Ratzenberger - Wild Card

Bill "The Science Guy" Nye - Science & Nature

 

It doesn't actually say that they read the questions, which would probably cost a few pennies and make it difficult to download new questions (although I'm not sure if new questions as DLC are contemplated).

 

I also didn't see any reference to live in that press release! I hope Atari simply omitted mention of it in a multi-platform press release.

Couldn't we save a bunch of money by just logging into a dashboard chat session and playing the regular Trivial Pursuit game? Or during RS3 games? "Trivia of the Dead" :P

Hey, that's right! What a neat idea and very doable.

 

We can also do Pictionary and Charades! Oh. Never mind. You'll have to wait for someone to make R. Monkey's Live of the Party game for visual type stuff.
