About the game

Kneipenquiz: Das Original brings the classic pub-quiz format to the table, testing teams on 750 questions spanning general knowledge, literature, science, sports, movies, history, and delightfully useless trivia. Over five timed five-minute turns, correct answers advance your team along the board, with the furthest-advanced team crowned the winner. It can be played cooperatively against the game itself or competitively in a team-versus-team format. A fast, lighthearted trivia party game for 3-6 players, it's designed for casual pub-night fun.

Hobbli's Notes

Kneipenquiz captures the fun, low-stakes energy of an actual pub quiz night, with a broad question mix that keeps generalists and specialists both engaged. The timed rounds keep the pace brisk, making it an easy pick to open or close out a game night with drinks.

What we like

  • 750 questions across varied categories keep content fresh.
  • Timed rounds maintain a brisk, energetic pace.
  • Both cooperative and team-vs-team modes add flexibility.
  • Simple rules make it easy to pick up at a pub or party.

Keep in mind

  • Best experienced in German, limiting accessibility for other audiences.
  • Trivia knowledge imbalance among teams can affect fairness.
  • Limited strategic depth beyond answering questions.

Who it's for
