The classic board game Trivial Pursuit is here on iOS, but you probably wouldn’t have noticed if this game didn’t have the familiar name attached. And what does that ‘& Friends‘ bit of the title mean exactly? Allow us to clear some of the mystery around this new free-to-play quizzer.
The original board game Trivial Pursuit was created in 1979 and sees players competing to provide the most correct answers to successive questions on general knowledge and popular culture. You don’t need to know much more than that to play Trivial Pursuit & Friends, and that’s actually a big part of the problem. Shorn of the social aspect, the iOS game is basically just a glorified virtual quiz book.
No, wait – there is a social aspect! Yes, the game allows you to compete against both real gamers from around the world and personal friends. However, the restrictions of the freemium structure mean that the former isn’t possible for extended periods without regular payment, while any personal friends interested in playing would probably still be happier whipping out the actual board game. Downloading this game would indeed be a trivial pursuit…
