At the table

You hold up the card: “The Salem witch trials” or Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”? A and B paddles go up. After the answer and its fun fact, you ask the room: “What is a story someone in your family always told?”

“Anoka, Minnesota’s first Halloween party” or “The first US Halloween postage stamps”?

Why it works

Easy Mode turns the quiz into a show of paddles: everyone holds up A or B, you read the answer right away, and nobody keeps score. The Gentle 20 lists the 20 friendliest questions to start with. Every pair is at least 10 years apart, and every year was checked against at least two published sources. US-themed.

Made for: Activity rooms and senior centers first; family parties and office teams too.
