The fact that you twist&slam while entering the correct answers is very appealing to my 7 year old. I have also seen my 12 and 14 year old picking them up and play for a bit.
We've been trying for two years to get my very bright daughter to memorize math facts. We tried software; we tried flashcards; we tried bribes. Finally she's reached the age where she HAS to memorize this stuff or the consequences are very serious on math tests and newer math concepts. Out of desperation, I bought Turbo Twister. It was like Magic. The first night she spent 45 minutes on it. She hasn't let up much. I've got her doing 15 minutes before bed each night and it's not even a fight to get her to do it. She loves it.

Guess what? It works. She knows her facts cold. That's allowed her to move much more quickly on math tests and to focus on the mathematics rather than on the computation.

Normally I hate drill and kill software, but clearly the sound /music it plays and physical movement it requires of the user combine to make it attractive and powerful for memorizing. ...at least for my kid..As always,.your mileage may differ.

In other words, compared to the previous editions, this one will seem noticeably easier -- and much narrower in focus -- to real trivia hounds, but much more accessible to wider audiences. Given that this was a stated goal of the revision, however, it's no so much a problem as a "feature;" younger people used to feeling adrift in a sea of Baby Boomer references (like I was as a child) will probably appreciate many of the changes.
Remember back about the early 80's? Trivial Pursuit was THE game to have, it seemed every party you went to included some game of Trivial Pursuit that usually kept you at that persons house till the early hours of the morning, you knew you should have been home hours ago, but you just had to get that stupid wedge and win before that guy!

A lot of that still holds true for today. This Edition, quite justifialy, is a modern Trivial Pursuit. A lot of the stigma felt amongst younger players (and many, many adults) was that Trivial Pursuit was simply too difficult unless you had an Honors degree at Harvard or Oxford. I read reviews saying that it has been dumbed down, Parker have simply removed a lot of the older relating questions which simply hold no reference to todays below thirty generation. It became pretty obvious that they were cutting off half their target audience with entertainment questions solely concerned with Abbott and Costello and I Love Lucy etc. Also, a lot more Modern History questions appear, not just ancient British Royalty and Spanish invasions, Nelson Mandella and Tiger Woods now turn up. Some people's distent is clearly due to their rememberence of Trivial Pursuit as a game that was relevant to them in their youth, and now they have grown, Trivial Pursuit has grown on to another generation, with questions which may no longer be relevant to them. Whatever happens, you can't stop evolution.

Still the greatest party game around, and no Moops in sight.
I first played this version of the game on a ski trip with a group of friends. We had a blast, and some of us continue to play whenever we get together. My husband and I will often play at home as well. The categories are fun, and the questions span a good range of difficulty. As stated on the box, the content covers"General Knowledge Questions", so there are a wide variety of topics for everyone. No matter what you specialize in, you're sure to find something that stumps you, as well as some easy ones to boost your ego, and your score!
To those of you who have lost your minds. Trivial Pursuit Genus IV was my first TP game. I found it very challenging--this coming from a 3.9 GPA KU graduate. After reading several reviews about the older versions being"harder", I decided to go to the local antique shop and buy me Genus II. Needless to say, I was mislead. The questions presented hold the same degree of difficulty. The only difference between IV and the older versions is that the questions are more current. Of course they would be easier--it is ten times easier to answer questions about Bill Clinton than Richard Nixon, but Bill Clinton is CURRENT and Genus IV is CURRENT. If you want these"harder"(or should I say"older") questions, GO TO AN ANTIQUE SHOP. For those of you who considering this game, I highly recommend it. The questions are fun and they are challenging. For those of you"dumbing down"people who say that they want the"Adult Targeted"games back, think about this: when the versions were each put out they were targeted towards young college students, they always have been so don't go off crying that some kid who beat you (because when I, II, and III came out, you were that kid)
It's become the high praise of the day: "I'd sure like to have her on my Trivial Pursuit team." Life is never dull when there are people around who know what baking ingredient, sprayed at high pressure, the U.S. Air Force replaced its toxic paint stripper with. Or what male body partMademoisellemagazine found to be the favorite of most women. The object of the game is to show off one's general knowledge--that is, it's to move along a circular track, answering questions, and to collect colored wedges for correct answers in six categories: People and Places, Arts and Entertainment, History, Science and Nature, Sports and Leisure, and Wild Card. The game includes a 20-by-20-inch game board, question-and-answer cards in two card storage boxes, dice, six plastic tokens, and 36 scoring wedges. For two to six players or teams. (Still wondering about the answers to the above questions? Baking soda and eyes!)--Emilie Coulter
