This literary take on a traditional trivia game awards the most points to the player who identifies the most books and authors using the fewest clues. A player wins by listing as many answers as possible or by correctly identifying the feature that unifies a list, with questions such as:

• What were Jane Austen’s six major novels? (That would be Emma, Persuasion, Sense & Sensibility, Mansfield Park, Pride & Prejudice, and Northanger Abbey)
• Ralph, Piggy, Jack, Simon, and Roger all belong to which novel? (Lord of the Flies, of course)
• Who is the Canadian treasure that writes dystopian fiction but started with poetry, won the Booker prize twice, and had her most famous novel, The Handmaid’s Tale, adapted into a TV show starring Elisabeth Moss? (Margaret Atwood, naturally.)

Literary Listblitz ranges widely over the literary canon. With 300 questions covering works, authors, titles, characters, and quotes, any book lover can compete, whether they read classics or modern fiction. Play with one other person—or even against yourself—or gather a group and compete to win as you test your literary knowledge.

 For two to six players.
