As part of my recent birthday celebration, I hosted a marathon game night which included an age-appropriate 30 trivia questions. I thought Alpacas might enjoy a crack at them.
Part 1 includes three categories:
March 23 in History
Events of my birthday throughout time.
Pittsburgh on Film
Movies in or about my hometown.
Can These Randomly Chosen Teens Save the World
Questions related to this contemporary genre trope.
