Trivia Game book card, you can
test your trivia knowledge by
playing 100 different games at
three levels of difficulty.
CrossWire is a game-show-style
trivia game with hosts Stan Tisdale
and Alexis Roberts. For each
CrossWire round, you are chal-
lenged to test your knowledge of
popular trivia in three out of four
categories. In each category, you try
to match nine pairs of clues before
time runs out. Each category is
drawn from one of fifteen fields of
knowledge such as Pop Culture,
Sports, or Literature.
If you score enough points in the
CrossWire Round, you go on to
the HighWire Round, where you
can win even more points and
unusual prizes.
