The first feast. The parade. Football. Turkey science.
Settle it at the table — who really knows Thanksgiving?
Built for the family table: 70 verified questions across everything Thanksgiving. The real history — 1621 at Plymouth, the Wampanoag guests who outnumbered their hosts, Sarah Josepha Hale's 17-year campaign and the Franksgiving fiasco. The feast, from green bean casserole's corporate origin story to the marshmallow lobby that put sugar on your sweet potatoes. The Macy's parade from live zoo animals to Snoopy, the Lions and Cowboys football tradition, genuine turkey science — snoods, poults, and 55 mph flight — and the Thanksgiving episodes and movies everyone rewatches, from Planes, Trains and Automobiles to the moist maker.
Every question was checked against Wikipedia or another named source before it went in, and anything we could not confirm was cut rather than softened. After each answer you get a short verified fact to deploy between courses, and the back button lets you review anything you missed. Play a quick 10 while the turkey rests, a standard 20, a deep 30, or endless mode for the whole bank — then share your score and let the family fight for the wishbone.
Hosting? The Thanksgiving question bank lists every question with answers in themed rounds, and the free printable Thanksgiving pack builds a PDF host kit or PowerPoint TV slides for the family game in about a minute. Christmas is next — get ahead with the Christmas trivia quiz.
