The Evil Trivia Puzzles: 100+ Puzzles from NYC's Best Trivia Night Paperback – February 16, 2026

Every Tuesday night since 2021, Evil Trivia has included a puzzle on the back of Round One. Over time, those little back-page puzzles became the part people complained about the loudest, which is how you know they were working.This book collects the best of them. Inside, you’ll find over 100 puzzles ranging from branching logic paths to probability, from physics conundrums to pattern recognition. These were designed to be solved in a bar, which means the rules are simple: you get a pen, a drink, a tiny table, and absolutely no quiet. The puzzles are fair, self-contained, and written to survive real-world conditions like bad lighting, sticky surfaces, and a friend who keeps confidently suggesting the wrong answer.And because there is only so much chaos you can responsibly unleash during Round One, the book also includes a handful of “too mean for trivia” bonus puzzles. They are longer, twistier, and more likely to make you stare into space for a while. Consider them the afterparty.Each puzzle comes with a full solution that explains the steps to getting the right answer so you can learn the trick, prove it to yourself, and then inflict it on someone else later.What are you waiting for?
