Trivia for People Who Don’t Want Standard Trivia

If you’ve ever been bored by a trivia game that asks you the capital of Nebraska for the fourth time, these are built for you. Brass Monkey’s trivia sets skip the textbook questions and go for categories that are specific, surprising, and occasionally absurd.

The format is simple: card-based sets, usually in compact packaging, with questions organized by topic. You can play competitively in teams, head-to-head with a partner, or just flip through the cards solo when you want something to think about.

What makes them work socially is the category specificity. When a question is weird enough, even wrong answers spark good conversation. That’s the design intent.
