So generally Really old trivia?
Thanks for your interest. trivia from the 1950’s, 60’s and possibly 70’s. The categories we have chosen are the bible, sports, Africa, inventions, presidents USA, flowers, movies/actors and America.
I will work on the Era’s. I have a bunch of president questions if you search “presidents” I have a few questions, also have the movie tabs. Presidents would be under the history tab, movies/actors would be under movie tab. Also a lot of my “This week in history” questions are questions from a WHILE ago. “THIS GANGSTER FROM THE 1920’S…” type things that you can simply take the day out and make it a regular trivia question
