The Weakest Link is the Basis of a Great Trivia Party

The television trivia game show "The Weakest Link" is known throughout the world. A group of contestants compete for a giant cash prize. The prize depends on how many correct answers in a row the contestants can give. So while all the contestants depend upon one another, they are also competing with each other at the same time. That's what makes the game really interesting. You can capture the fun by hosting your very own "The Weakest Link" home trivia party.

Voting the Weakest Link Out

Where the game really gets interesting is what happens in between each round. After every round, the contestants can vote one of the group out. That person must leave the show immediately and is considered "the Weakestest link." Now, to get the most money, each contestant wants to get rid of the person who has the least grasp of trivia. However, when there are only a few contestants left, you don't want someone to survive who knows more trivia than you do! So each person must decide who is the Weakestest and strongest links and who should go. Remember the amount you win depends on how well the whole panel does. However who wins depends on each contestant. If you can incorporate this part of the game, you could have a great trivia party.
