Overview
Bring the nation's favourite teatime quiz home with this House of Games 2 Books Collection Set by Richard Osman and Alan Connor. Gathering together Richard Osman's House of Games and House of Games: Question Smash, this paperback bundle is stuffed with the wordplay rounds, picture puzzles and general knowledge trivia that made the BBC2 show a hit. Ideal for family game nights, quiz-mad friends, classroom fillers or long journeys, it's a ready-made source of laughs and genuine head-scratchers for any age of adult reader.
About the Books
Richard Osman's House of Games collects the rounds fans know and love from the show, including Roonerspoonisms, Venn Will I Be Famous?, Dim Sums and Answer Smash, plus over 50 brand-new games devised especially for the book. Expect questions on how many post boxes there are in the UK, how often the word 'goat' crops up in the King James Bible, and charades built entirely from made-up books, films and plays.
House of Games: Question Smash raises the stakes with 104 new, classic and fiendishly difficult rounds straight from the show's own question writers. Rounds include Highbrow Lowbrow, Rhyme Time and Don't State the Obvious, alongside brand-new formats such as songs with their lyrics swapped for synonyms and picture-and-question 'smash' rounds where two answers collide into one. Together the two books offer hundreds of rounds, making this one of the most substantial quiz collections inspired by the show, translated faithfully onto the page so groups of any size can recreate the House of Games experience at home or at a pub quiz.
