The Burning Questions- Things We Have Been Asked
In any format there are always things that are obvious and some less so. Here is where we do our best to address some of your burning questions
The whole series, what we have now and will continue to expand are on Kindle and available to buy as paperback.
we started out with the idea to develop a series of quiz books, hence the title, but as we have developed people have said that they are a great introduction to a city and its cultural heart.
We do our best to have the information correct. But you know, there are so many questions and answers in the series, that there will be incorrect answers.
Our books have been created as an entertainment source, for fun and a bit of internal banter.
We are sure that you would have been to a trivia night and know that an answer was wrong and a bit of a bruhaha has resulted, especially in a close contest
Our books may be used but cannot be relied upon for use in any format where money or prizes is up for grabs and a dispute arises.
Sadly not, we have been to lots of places but cannot and do not endorse anyone mentioned in the books.
Absolutely not.
We have written these books for travellers and locals alike.
If you aren't planning to travel any time soon, no problem
We are always looking to develop more books, so drop us a line and tells us where you are from and we might just get one done for you..... and if you are one of the first to nominate it, we will give you a mention in the book. You can then tell your friends you are famous....
Great question. We started out to be a trivia book series, and eventually to run Trivia Nights. We think what we have created would be a fun way to do things differently to most trivia quizzes. Our questions are very specific to a town or city, which would mean more to people from that city.
