Twisted Trivia began as a joke between friends — the kind of joke that makes your spouse question their life choices. Before we knew it, most of our wives had left in horror, and we were sneaking into Chris’s basement like shame-ridden trivia gremlins just to keep the dream alive.

That’s when we knew we had something special: A wildly inappropriate, slightly offensive, and totally brilliant party game.

Now we just need your help turning it into a success — because if this flops, it’s just us, a futon, and Chris’s mother yelling down the stairs about rent.

After extensive “research” (read: drunken game nights and a few deeply scarring holiday gatherings), we’ve discovered the sweet spot for Twisted Trivia is 4 to 10 players. Any fewer than four, and you’re just being weird. Any more than ten, and it starts to feel like a chaotic cult meeting — but with more yelling and inappropriate laughter.

Pro tip: Unless your grandparents were a former stripper, sailor, or long-haul trucker with a dark sense of humor and zero shame… maybe don’t invite them.

We made that mistake once - Grandpa read a card out loud, gasped, and then calmly said, “Well, I’ve done worse.” The room hasn’t been the same since. Also, we’re apparently all now going straight to Hell — Grandpa included.

So yeah… choose your players wisely.

How to Play Twisted Trivia: A Game of Films, Filth & Questionable Morality

General Set-Up Players: 4 or more degenerates (6–10 is the sweet spot for maximum chaos)

Cards: Black Cards – These are your twisted prompts, movie-themed and morally questionable. White Cards – These are your answers, dripping with sarcasm, sleaze, or shocking genius.

Each player draws 5 white cards. Choose one brave soul to be the Trivia Tyrant (aka the judge). Don’t worry, the shame will rotate.

Gameplay The Trivia Tyrant draws a black card and reads it aloud in their best Oscar-worthy voice.

Everyone else chooses one white card from their hand that either:

Makes them question some past life choices Burst into uncontrollable laughter or Makes everyone reconsider being friends with you

Player's hand their preferred card face down to the Tyrant (no peeking, pervs).

The Tyrant reads all submissions out loud—dramatically, sarcastically, or drunk—and selects their favorite. The player whose card is chosen wins the round and earns 1 point (and probably a few stares).

Two Ways to Play

Quick Play First player to reach 10 points wins or just keep going until everyone’s too drunk, too offended, or laughing too hard to continue.

No judgment. (Okay, that’s a lie. There will be so much judgment.)

Extended Play (For Film Snobs & Sadists)

Same gameplay, but here’s the twist:

After winning the round, the player can earn 1 bonus point if they can accurately name the film the prompt was inspired by.

If they fail? No bonus. Just shame and regret.

Next Round The Trivia Tyrant role rotates clockwise (like a cursed game of hot potato).

Everyone draws back up to 5 white cards. Yes, you always need a full hand. Don’t be a slacker.

Winning Quick Play: First to 10 points gets bragging rights and maybe a faint sense of pride. Extended Play: First to 20 points wins—assuming they haven't been arrested, canceled, or excommunicated. Alternatively, just play until the laughter dies… or your neighbors call the cops.

Optional Post-Game Rituals

Shower off the shame. Apologize to your childhood self. Start a group chat called "Therapy is Tuesday."

Is a bullfrog’s butt watertight? You bet your sweet lily pad it is.

Believe it or not, we’re working on a family-friendly version of the game — because, apparently, not everyone enjoys jokes about body parts and moral failure.

We discovered early on that some folks prefer their trivia with less spice and more sparkle. So while this version won’t carry the Twisted Trivia name (for obvious, lawsuit-avoiding reasons), it will be packed with a whole new set of questions bursting with unicorn farts, rainbow glitter, and absolutely zero words that’ll get your kid kicked out of school.

Stay tuned. The clean version is coming — and yes, it’s still going to be weird.

We've honestly put quite a bit of thought into this; however, we're not exactly how terms like "swamp-donkey" or "poop chute" would translate or be nearly as funny in other languages. If you can prove us wrong that "palude asino" or "scivolo cacca" make your sides split, we're happy to reconsider.

Of course you can! Got a twisted question, a hilarious answer, or a brilliant idea for an expansion pack? We want to hear it. Seriously, don’t hold back — shock us, weird us out, make us laugh until we snort.

If we use your idea, we’ll immortalize your name on our Board of Contributors page — because everyone deserves a little fame for being deliciously twisted.

Come on, we know you’re sick and twisted too. Prove it.
