 "Not a good game for everyone.." | 2008-12-10 |

| A group of friends get together weekly to play games. We normally have some cocktails and have a good time. We bought this game and tried it out last week. Our ages are between 26 - 36 years old. We didn't even finish this game. It's REALLY HARD. We played for an hour or so and the object of the game is to collect 6 tokens to win. After an hour we had only got 3 tokens. So, that means out of 15-20 questions we only got 3 right. If you are good with trivia then you will like it. We aren't. We don't know about past kings or even solar system questions. Not for us. The instructions say that the farther done the pile of questions you get the harder they will be. Well, we were stuck on the top of the pile!!! |

| "Excellent Trivia Game...and Fun too" | 2008-01-12 |

| I was looking for an interesting board game that I could play with 2 people or more. Trivial pursuit has been done and some other games (Are you smarter than a 5th grader) were just lame. But this is interesting, difficult in spots and has a broad base of odd and fun trivia categories. I'd reccomend it to people who enjoy trivia. |

 "Brain all gummed up? Try Mental Floss!" | 2005-09-08 |

| Brain all gummed up after too much work and no play? Well then try Mental Floss! Mental Floss ties knots around the fluffy newer trivia games. Be prepared for some fun and fascinating literature, nature and science questions. I found them much less pop-culturesque than many Trivial Pursuit questions. The premise is simple, pick a colored gamepiece and place it on a like colored square. Roll the dice, land of the appropriate square and you'll answer either a "left-brained question" (regarding something sciency), a "right-brained question" (something literary or artsy) or you'll get the chance to to dispel "the big fat lie", wherein you must decide which one of two historical situations is true and which one is false; a correct answer to either of the three will win you a token (6 tokens will win you the game). Once in a while you may land on a space entitling you to a chance at an "Enlightening Round". For that, answer 3 related questions and win a token (or risk it all to answer the hardest question to win another turn). A unique plus: play goes back and forth between players and the questions are less obscure so it's a much faster game than TP. I'd recommend the game for knowledgeable children and adults 12+. The negatives of the game are the game pieces: the colored gamepieces are boring and made from a colored sticker and plastic. And the tokens? They're made of cardboard. It's not like it's Barbie Trivia Game- the manufacturer recommends it for players 15+ (pretty much adults)! So, I'm left to wonder why they created such a great game and spent no time on the tangibles. Despite it's material flaws, it is a fun and interesting addition to anyone's board game collection, with refreshing questions worth knowing the answers to! |

| "Great Game" | 2005-09-04 |

I am a long time reader of mental_floss magazine and when I discovered the game, I was pleased to see a continuation of the theme that learning can be fun. The instructions are easy, in fact, you can set up the board, read the instructions and begin playing within minutes. After rolling a die the players move around the board landing on a variety of spaces. The space dictates the type of question than an opponent asks from the floss facts cards. It might be a "right brain" question,"left brain" question or you may be challenged to spot "the big fat lie." With each correct answer you receive a piece of mind token. Occasionally a player may land on "Enlightening Round," upon which the contestant is asked a series of increasingly difficult questions. Using "mental block" cards players can challenge one another adding a bit of strategy to the game.
While the instructions set the winning number of tokens at six, it seems to me that players could play to any number they choose. This allows you to sit down for a twenty-minute game or to play for hours. The questions are varied in topic and are interesting and fun.
You don't have to be smart to play mental_floss trivia, but watch out, you might become that way.

| The game is great for me because unlike other games with mostly pop culture questions, it had a wide diversity of other topics. Lots of fun with finding out the quirks of famous people in the "Spot the Lie" type questions too. |
