Trivia Rules

Welcome to Ruthless Trivia, where holiday cheer is replaced by fierce competition.

The Setup

Divide your loud, unruly party guests into teams of 3-5 players. You will need one designated "Quizmaster" (someone with a booming voice and unshakeable authority) and plenty of answer pads and pens.

Gameplay Mechanics

The game consists of four aggressive rounds:

Round 1: Movie Madness. Fast-paced questions about every holiday movie ever made.
Round 2: Audio Assault. Play 3-second clips of holiday songs. Teams must scream the title or write it down instantly.
Round 3: Traditions of the World. Obscure facts about international holidays. No guessing allowed without penalty.
Round 4: The Lightning Round. The Quizmaster reads 10 rapid-fire questions. Teams have exactly 60 seconds to answer all 10 on a single sheet of paper.

The Iron Rules

1. No Phones: Any team caught looking at a phone instantly loses 50 points and must wear the "Hat of Shame" (a cheap, itchy Santa hat).

2. The Quizmaster is God: If there is a dispute over an answer, the Quizmaster’s ruling is final. Arguing with the Quizmaster results in immediate point deductions.

3. Stealing is Encouraged: If a team shouts an incorrect answer out loud in their excitement, another team is free to steal it and claim the points.
