About the game
Ever felt that frantic quiz vibe, filled with laughter and a bit of chaos? That's exactly what you get with The Dozen Trivia. Inspired by the Barstool Sports show, this game turns your living room into a full-blown general knowledge battlefield, where intelligence (and a bit of luck) mix in an intense clash between two teams.

The dynamics are straightforward and addictive: the game is split into 12 diverse categories. You'll navigate through themes ranging from sports and geography to pop culture and the animal kingdom. No fluff here: each team gets one shot at the category's answer. If your team nails it, the point is yours. But watch out! If you freeze or get it wrong, you leave the door wide open for the opposing team to steal the point, creating that tension and banter that every great trivia game needs.

The real charm here is the competitive nature. It's not just about who read more encyclopedias, but how your team handles the pressure. It's the perfect kind of game to gather your friends, split into teams, and find out who the real 'know-it-all' of the group is. With games lasting anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes, it fits perfectly as a quick warm-up or the main event of a game night. If you love the energy of TV game shows and want to test your synergy with friends while debating random facts, The Dozen is the way to go. Get your neurons ready, pick your most trusted partners, and see who can dominate the 12 categories to emerge victorious!
