About the Book
Now welcome inside the House of Games. This collection gathers together 101 new and classic games inspired by some of the show's most memorable rounds, including Roonerspisims, Venn Will I Be Famous?, Dim Sums and Answer Smash. Fans of the programme will instantly recognise the format, while newcomers will find the rules clearly explained. From guessing how many times a word appears in the Bible, to spotting connections between unrelated facts, to inventing outlandish charades for books, films and plays that don't actually exist, every page offers a fresh test of wit, wisdom and imagination. Osman and Connor curate the questions with the same sharp, playful sensibility that made the TV series a hit, balancing accessible fun for casual players with genuinely testing challenges for seasoned quiz enthusiasts. The paperback format makes it easy to bring to family gatherings, dinner parties, classrooms or long car journeys, and its compact size slots neatly onto any bookshelf.
