Holidays come with their own trivia: the songs everyone half knows, the customs nobody can explain, the films that come back every year. The Seasonal packs collect it, one holiday at a time.
What the packs cover
HalloweenHorror films and the monsters behind them, plus old harvest-festival folklore. Expect the history of trick-or-treating and a little creepy science too.
ChristmasWhere the carols came from, how the holiday is kept around the world, the films and songs on repeat every December, and the saints behind the stories.
Thanksgiving & FallTurkeys, cranberries and parades, harvest festivals from far beyond America, and the science of autumn itself.
The fun is in the stories behind things you see every year. Most people can hum a carol; far fewer know who first recorded it or where its tune began. That gap is where these questions live.
Sample questions
