TRIVIAL PURSUIT LIVE! (EU)

Hello and welcome to the Trivial Pursuit LIVE! walkthrough.

In this walkthrough I will try to give you the fastest and easiest method of completing the game whilst also enjoying what you're doing, if that's possible with this game wink

Hopefully, most people are familiar with the concept of Trivial Pursuit but in case you're not why not check out the wiki page: here. You can play either 3 or 5 round games against 2-4 players answering trivia questions from 6 categories: Arts and Literature, Entertainment, Geography, History, Science and Nature and Sports and Leisure.

During each game show there are 7 round types: Quickstarter, Switchagories, Grab Bag, Grab Bag Blitz, Close Call, Close Call Blitz and Rapid Fire.

3-Round games take around 15-20minutes whilst 5-Round games take roughly 30-45minutes and luckily you can pause the game at ANY time using cn_start with no punishment.

There are 15 trophies in the game, 7 tied to getting a certain amount of questions correct in each category, 2 for winning a certain amount of game shows, 1 for getting a perfect round of grab bag, 3 based around earning titles and wedges, 1 for completing a game against 3 others (can use one controller) and 1 for getting a perfect game (But don't worry too much, I have an ace up my sleeve that I will explain on the next page.)

First things first, I teased in the introduction page that I have an ace up my sleeve and here it is *drumroll* Question & Answer Collection. The thread linked there is a work in progress list of all the questions and answers in the game, broken down into each game mode and category. Ill be adding any questions not in it whilst I go through the One and 360 versions of the game and if anyone using it gets a question that isn't in the forum please post with the details so I can update. I've been using the English (US) language option.

Simply press ctrl+f on your keyboard to bring up the 'find' menu in your browser and use that to find the relevant question you have.

Now in the event that your question isn't there you can, as I mentioned in the introduction, pause the game at any time using cn_start and then use Google or Wikipedia to find the answer. I highly recommend using the PS4's game DVR and screenshot features to capture your questions so you can find the answers with less stress.

Now that’s the hard part of the game out of the way, the answering bit lets explain the round types and categories.

  • Quickstarter - 5 questions, 4 from one category and the last from another.
  • Grab Bag - 4 questions each with 8 answers out of a possible 16.
  • Grab Bag Blitz - Same as Grab Bag only difference is that all players play at the same time and when one answer is left the round is over. (Will only come up if using multiple controllers or on Live)
  • Switchagories - 4 questions, different category each time.
  • Close Call - 5 questions, 4 from one category and the last from another, All 5 answers are correct but you must get the top answer.
  • Close Call Blitz - Same as Close Call only difference is all players play at the same time, just like Grab Bag Blitz. (Will only come up if using multiple controllers or on Live)
  • Rapid Fire - Last round where each player gets the chance to answer one question correct in each category to earn wedges to win the game, you'll be given a question with 2 answers to choose from.

Note: Switchagories and Quickstarter can swap places as can Grab Bag and Close Call.

The 6 categories for the questions to come from are:

  • Arts & Literature
  • Entertainment
  • Geography
  • History
  • Science & Nature
  • Sports & Leisure

Only progress made with the first game profile made for each PSNID counts for your trophies.

There are 55 titles in the game to unlock with 7 of them being unlocked from the start of the game so you will need to factor that in whilst checking how many you have unlocked out of the 30 you need for the trophy.

The 55 titles are:

The awards after this do not count as they're for Uplay and the Hasbro Channel so I wont be listing them.

Obviously some of those are rather unreachable but there is definitely 30 there that will come on your way to the other trophies. You can check you progress and which titles you have unlocked via the 'Objectives' menu in the main menu or by viewing your profile from the 'Profiles' menu and pressing cn_X once you are viewing your profile to see which titles you have unlocked.

Here's a convenient link to the forum: Question & Answer Collection.

Upon loading up the game you'll be asked to pick your language, for the purpose of using my question and answer guide select 'English (US)'. After this menu you'll be asked to create your profile after pressing cn_X.

We'll be concentrating on trying to earn the trophy for perfecting a 5-Round game so we'll be playing that game type first.

From the main menu select 'Play Trivial Pursuit Live!' and then 'Party Play' then select '5-Round' and most importantly 'Single Controller' so that we can control all 4 players with a single controller, both saving you buying more AND meaning we can have a pop up between each question (for passing the controller to the next player) which helps see the question you're answering.

Now its time to add your 4 players, press cn_X and select your main profile (Should be named as your PSNID) and choose your player character. Now repeat this step only this time you'll need to make new game profiles for each of the 3 remaining players. Once all 4 players are in the game press cn_start to begin the game.

Just in case here's a video showing setup for 5-Round.

Remember that you can pause the game with cn_start at any time and I also suggest making use of the PS4's game DVR and screenshot functionality to help with looking up answers.

There are 5 rounds which consist of:

  • Quickstarter - 5 questions, 4 from one category and the last from another. You need to get all 5 correct
  • Grab Bag - 4 questions each with 8 answers out of a possible 16. You need to pick all 8 for each question so the other players cannot pick any correct ones
  • Switchagories - 4 questions, different category each time. Again you need to answer all 4 correct
  • Close Call - 5 questions. All 5 answers are correct but you must get the top answer
  • Rapid Fire - You should only need 2 wedges at this final round so you'll only see 2 different categories. You'll be given a question with 2 answers to choose from.

Note: Switchagories and Quickstarter can swap places as can Grab Bag and Close Call.

Providing you have answered every question correctly you should unlock the following from your first game

  • Greedy Grabber

    Get all 8 answers correct in a single Grab Bag question.

    Greedy Grabber
    Online/Offline - These trophies can be obtained in either an online or offline mode.Single Player - These trophies can be obtained by a single player.Versus - These trophies can be obtained by two or more players in a face off gamemode who have met the trophy requirements.
Don’t fret too much if you don’t get a perfect game on you're first try as it will all help with other trophies anyway, like wins, questions answered, titles earned and wedges won. If you did earn 'Pop Goes Perfection' its up to you to either switch to 3-Round games with you and one other player or carry on with 5-Round games. What I would suggest to do is carry on doing 4 more games of 5 Rounds as it'll help answer more questions.

Switching to 3-Round though is simple, choose 3-Round and at the player select screen add yourself and one other player as before but instead of adding more press cn_T to remove the AI players, then press cn_start to play and carry on as before using the forum: Question & Answer Collection.

Just in case here's a video showing setup for 3-Round with 2 human players only.

https://www.trueachievements.com/gameclip.aspx?clipid=167597...

After winning your 5th game you should have earned 30 wedges (5x6=30) to unlock:

Now all that is left is to keep playing to win you remaining games for your total of 25 wins.

Whilst doing this you should hopefully also answer 50 questions correctly (Each Grab Bag question can yield 8 correct answers) in each of the 6 categories as well as earning the 30 titles detailed in the 'Titles' page along the way.

  • Tens, Anyone?

    Correctly answer 10 questions of each Trivial Pursuit category type.

    Tens, Anyone?
