Always falling short at the pub quiz? You might have a shot at winning with this 'hilarious' game that's on sale for less than £10 at Amazon
If you're staying in with friends and family this New Year's Eve, it's the perfect opportunity to crack out some great games that get everyone involved. While most households have the odd set of Scrabble or Monopoly lying around, it might be time to switch things up and play a game that is a little different from tradition that shoppers are hailing as "the holy grail of quiz games".
Shot In The Dark is a unique quiz game that's all about guesswork. You don't have to be a trivia mastermind to get the answers right as the aim is to take a 'shot in the dark' to try and guess the answer - with the best one winning. With questions like 'how many litres of white paint does it take to paint The White House?' included, it is little wonder that players of the game have said it is, "laugh out loud funny."
You will have to have two or more players for the game to work, and it is recommended only for those over 12 years old, but users have said, "the complete randomness of this game makes it so fun for any age or intelligence level. It’s so accessible to everyone and irresistible to play. Travels really well and generates interesting discussion. A must-have that is truly one of the best family games."
Available to shop now for £10 down from £14.99 at Amazon, you'll be able to order it in time to come before New Year's Eve. There are tons of cards to work through with one person saying they played it for "a couple of hours" and only got through 12 cards, so it can be played multiple times with no repeats.
One Amazon reviewer said: "Probably the best trivia game that I've ever played with my family. Absolutely love this game, no question is too difficult to answer, if there was anything that we weren't able to answer we took a shot in the dark."
Even if you're heading to the pub this New Year's Eve, it's small enough to bring along, with one person saying, "I always keep this in my bag and everyone I introduce this to ends up buying one. I particularly love playing this when I'm in a bar with friends after having a few drinks. It's fun but its also a great conversation starter."
Some users have noted that they would have preferred if there was more of a board game element to this, and if that's what you are after, we've rounded up the best family board games for 2023 tried and tested.
