Book overview
Most family quiz books claim to be for everyone. But let's be honest - one generation usually ends up knowing all the answers.
The Great British Family Quiz Book was designed to fix that. Every round gives a different generation its moment to shine - so the grandparents, the parents, the teenagers and the kids are all in with a genuine chance.
With 300 multiple-choice questions across four specially designed round types:
- Everyone In - fair game for any age, any generation
- Way Back When - British life from the 1950s to the 1970s, where older players finally get to show everyone how it's done
- Rewind - the 1980s, 90s and early 2000s, from cassette tapes and corner video shops to the first mobile phones
- Fast Forward - modern Britain from the 2000s to today, where younger players have the edge - and everyone else is on their own
Questions span the full range:
* Which famous bear is most strongly associated with marmalade sandwiches? (Everyone In)
* In many parts of the UK, what problem led people to leave the foil tops on milk bottles slightly indented? (Way Back When)
* In the 1990s, what device made a screeching noise while connecting to the internet? (Rewind)
* In 2012, why were some post boxes in the UK painted gold? (Fast Forward)
Because every question is rooted in British life, the whole book feels familiar, engaging and instantly playable - whether you're a family of three generations around a table, two people on a long journey, or someone dipping in alone on a rainy afternoon.
Play solo, in pairs or as a family team.
Can't separate two players at the end? A dedicated tiebreaker and sudden-death round settles it. Full answers are provided throughout, so nobody has to take anyone's word for it.
Perfect for Christmas, birthdays, family gatherings and holidays. And a genuinely thoughtful gift for anyone who loves quizzes, trivia and everything that makes Britain what it is.
This isn't just a quiz book about Britain. It's a quiz book designed to bring generations together - through the things we know, the things we've half-forgotten, and the things we're about to discover.
