"Who was the only American to become vice president and president after resignations?" Some questions from history are covered in People & Places and even Science & Nature, so this is another "crossover" category. Any event in human (and even prehistoric) history is up for debate in this category. The range of historical events covered by Trivial Pursuit questions is massive. This category is pretty straightforward-all the questions have to do with historical events. "What famous poet was known to his close friends by the nickname 'Junkets'?" "According to mythology, Minerva was the goddess of _." "Which member of 'The A Team' was a pilot?" The toughest category for many players, Arts & Entertainment is in its own way a kind of Wild Card category-you never know if your question will be about art history or the 2005 Oscar award ceremony. This category covers everything from contemporary movies to the great books of World Literature with plenty of pop music and studio art questions thrown in as well. Arts & Entertainment is a hybrid of the Arts & Literature and Entertainment categories, and because of that combination it is a mixed bag of questions. "The marriage between which two famous people was described as 'Egghead meats hourglass'?"ĭon't forget that in the most recent editions of Trivial Pursuit, this category includes Literature questions as well. "Who traded places with Eddie Murphy in the film Trading Places?" "Which Central-American country is known as "the land of lakes and volcanoes"?" There is some overlap with the History and Science & Nature categories in Trivial Pursuit, so if you're strong in either of those, you'll do well in People & Places as well. These days, People & Places questions in Trivial Pursuit tend to cover a combination of "current events" (history as recent as the 20th century) and historical and geographical questions. Categories in Trivial Pursuit: People & Places Here's a look at each of the categories in the standard edition of Trivial Pursuit. Then again, you'll never please every Trivial Pursuit fan, especially when it comes to making changes to the game they love. Some people still have big complaints with the category lineup of Trivial Pursuit-for example, why isn't the "Places" part of "People & Places" actually a part of the "Science & Nature" category? Couldn't there be a category just about famous people? It seems like the makers of Trivial Pursuit have some tweaking to do before their categories are perfect. Logically speaking, the change makes sense-condensing the very similar fields of "arts" and "entertainment" tilts the game in favor of more generalized knowledge, and adding the "wild card" category adds some suspense and excitement to a sometimes too-predictable game. When the categories changed and the colors shifted, fans of the game complained.
