Title: Trivial pursuit
Post by: Redundant on April 05, 2012, 12:50:01 AM

Are the makers of Trivial Pursuit still alive?   And if they are, does anyone happen to know where they live?   I am too old to have just lost that many hours...

Don't know if the makers are still alive but the Kettle family (or two thirds of it) enjoyed a 30-year-old version of it last weekend.  Confidently ignoring the instructions, we played several rounds without remembering that landing on the grey bits meant another chance to throw the di.....which had hand-painted numbers on it and one family member actually thought one throw had revealed a "7" and blissfully unaware, moved her piece for 7 spaces.  In fairness to her, the painted "4" did look like a continental "7."

There's nothing wrong with Dot's. She uses a proper shop-bought one.

One of the creators died in 2010, the other is still alive.

As for where he lives... well, I've narrowed it down to "Somewhere In Canada". Diane probably knows him; It's not that big of a place, right?
