Trivia Night: Outrangeous

Outrangeous is a fun trivia game! You answer each question („How many apostles did Jesus have?“) not with a specific number, but with a range. Miss the truth (e.g., „50 to 100“), and you score no points (hence, „out-range-ous“). Capture the truth, and you score more points based on how narrow your range is (so „10 to 13“ beats „11 to 18“).

In the end, the game isn’t about how much you know. It’s about recognizing what you don’t.

Instructions:

• No need to register! Come as you are and bring your friends 🙂 
• This game works best with 4 – 8 players so we might split up into two groups.
• Please prepare 4 trivia questions in advance (the answer must be a number) for your opponents to guess. Don’t tell anyone your questions before the game starts! You can choose any topic you want, but the answer should be easily googleable. Some examples of good questions:
  • Age at which Abraham Lincoln died
  • Distance to the moon in kilometers
  • Length of the longest fingernails ever in centimeters
  • Number of species of penguin
  • Population of South America
  • The 1,000th prime number
  • Weight of an average humpback whale in kilograms
  • Year in which the last French king was born
