Overview
Bring the nation's favourite lateral-thinking quiz show home with this two-book Only Connect collection by question-setter Jack Waley-Cohen. Each book packs hundreds of Connections, Sequences, Connecting Wall and Missing Vowels puzzles straight from the BBC series, plus questions never broadcast on TV. Perfect for solo brain-training, family game nights, or gifting to any trivia-loving quizzer who enjoys a genuine intellectual challenge with a competitive edge.
About the Books
Only Connect has tested Britain's cleverest quizzers since 2008, and this pair of official companion books recreates the show's fiendish format at home. The Official Quiz Book collects over 200 entertaining challenges from the team behind the BBC show, including many questions never broadcast on television, covering all four signature rounds with introductions from presenter Victoria Coren Mitchell. Only Connect: The Difficult Second Quiz Book raises the stakes considerably. Question-setter and former Only Connect champion Jack Waley-Cohen returns with a fresh set of 200 cryptic, brain-busting questions, again including many exclusive, never-before-broadcast puzzles. The games are organised into discrete four-round matches that increase in difficulty towards a grand final, delivering your own private series of Only Connect at home. Together, the two books form a natural progression from accessible rounds to tougher, more cryptic connections, both carrying the wit and misdirection that made the TV show a cult favourite.
- Over 400 puzzles combined across both books, many never broadcast on TV
- Covers all four Only Connect rounds: Connections, Sequences, Connecting Wall and Missing Vowels
- Ideal for solo brain-training or competitive team quiz nights
- Written by the show's own question-setters for genuine, authentic difficulty
- Great gift for fans of the BBC series, pub quizzers and puzzle lovers
- Difficulty builds progressively across the two-book set
