It is a delightful treat for die-hard fans of the series. It encapsulates the essence of the show, providing a platform for enthusiasts to showcase their Friends trivia prowess. And it couldn’t BE more fun! It is a game for 2 or more players, aged 12+.

Friends Trivial Pursuit Bitesize Edition has been designed with the same humour and charm that made the sitcom a massive worldwide hit, ensuring that the spirit of Friends lives on in this engaging board game.
Playing the game is straightforward and follows the traditional Trivial Pursuit format of having to correctly answer a question from each colour category, but with a twist tailored to the Friends universe. As there is no board or wedge pieces to collect, players roll a die to determine the category of the question they must answer, they must answer questions correctly to win a card from each colour category. Each colour represents different seasons of the show. The objective is to collect six “wedges” by correctly answering 12 questions, with each correct answer allowing the player to continue their turn and accumulate more wedges.
Categories:
- Green: Seasons 1 & 2
- Yellow: Seasons 3 & 4
- Orange: Seasons 4 & 5
- Pink: Seasons 6 & 7
- Blue: Seasons 8 & 9
- Purple: Season 10
The questions range from easy to challenging, ensuring that both casual viewers and hardcore fans will find the game enjoyable. The absence of a game board makes the game compact and portable, perfect for Friends trivia nights or as a travel companion.

Overall, Friends Trivial Pursuit Bitesize Edition is The One That is Perfect for Game Nights with Friends and Family. It is lots of fun for Friends fans and not only has some great questions but lets you relive iconic moments from the show.
