The board game Trivial Pursuit was invented in Canada. It was created by Chris Haney and Scott Abbott, who were Canadian journalists, in 1979. Trivial Pursuit quickly gained popularity and became one of the most successful trivia-based board games worldwide. The game challenges players' knowledge in various categories by asking questions across different topics, and the objective is to collect wedges for each category to win the game. Trivial Pursuit has since become a classic and has been adapted into numerous editions and variations over the years.
