Question

Can two players be on the same spot?

Community Answer

Yes. Due to the way the board is laid out and how the flow of the game works, it's possible for multiple players to be on one spot and within the rules too.

Question

Do I have to give the answer if a player gets it wrong?

Llp33

Community Answer

It is a fun part of the game to learn the answers, so it is recommended but not required. (Plus, if the question comes back some other time, you'll know the answer!)

Question

What do I do if I already have that color wedge?

Community Answer

You don't take a wedge that turn. You only take a wedge when you get a question right and don't have that wedge.

They will be on the back of the question card, organized by which color and category question you asked. Make sure not to let the other person see the answers.

Question

What happens if you answer a question wrong once in the middle with all wedges, do you have to roll again next time?

Community Answer

Yes, you do. This stops players from immediately being able to try again next turn.

Question

Who asks the questions?

Llp33

Community Answer

Any other player in the game can read the question to you, as long as it is not you. It might be smart to rotate the person reading the question.

Question

Is the first person to answer the question in the middle the winner, or do other people get a chance to tie?

Llp33

Community Answer

The first person to collect all the wedges and make it back to the center is the winner. If you would like to play for second place, third place, etc., it would be alright, but that's not technically part of the game.

Question

Do I get a pie if I land in the middle of the board?

Community Answer

No, because when you filled up your pie piece, then you can start moving into the middle of the circle.

Question

What do I do if I already got a color in Trivial Pursuit and I land on it again and get the question right?

Community Answer

Then you would just continue play. You only get the color/wedge the first time you land on a wedge space and get it right. The rest of the time you just answer that category's questions.
