Trivial Pursuit is a board game in which progress is
determined
by a player's ability to answer general knowledge and popular
culture questions. The game was created in 1979 by Canadian
Scott
Abbott, a sports editor for The Canadian Press, and Chris Haney,
a
photo editor for Montreal's The Gazette. After finding pieces
of
their Scrabble game missing, they decided to create their own
game.
With the help of John Haney and Ed Werner, they completed
development of the game, which was released in 1982.
The object of the game is to move around the board by
correctly
answering trivia questions. Questions are split into six
categories, with each one having its own color to identify it;
in
the classic version of Trivial Pursuit, the Genus edition,
these
are Geography (blue), Entertainment (pink), History (yellow),
Arts
& Literature (brown), Science & Nature (green), and
Sports
& Leisure (orange). The game includes a board, playing
pieces,
question cards and a box and small plastic wedges to fit into
the
playing pieces.
To solve this riddle, you'll need to answer one question
from
each category of the game. Each correct answer will correspond
with
a letter in the actual coordinates. All of these answers can
be
found by searching around on the web.
