At the table

You read the question out: “In 1957, about how much did a quart of milk cost, delivered by the milkman to your door?” The room votes A, B or C. Then you read the line under the answer, “Did a milkman come to your house, and what else did he bring?”, and hand it to the guest of honor first.

What colors did the new Interstate highway shield get when it was adopted in 1957?

The 3 games

Why it works

You can host it without a pair of scissors: every game can be read aloud from its Host Pack, and the answer sheets print once.

The guest of honor is the expert on 1957, and everyone else gets a fair guess: three choices in the trivia, A or B in Which Came First, and sayings the whole room finishes out loud. Relatives who cannot be there can play along from a slide deck on a video call. Years and sayings were checked against published sources.

Made for: Friends, family and coworkers planning a 70th birthday, at home, in a church hall, at a senior community or at the office.
