Host of Pointless and Child Genius, Richard Osman presents the first official quiz book to accompany his hit BBC Two Show, Richard Osman's House of Games.

Do you know how many post boxes there are in the UK? Could you guess how many times the word 'goat' appear in the King James Version of the bible? Fancy playing a game of charades where all of the books, films and plays are entirely made up?

Now, look around the room. Is anyone there the kind of person who’ll say ‘I just don’t understand this’, when faced with something that’s not just perfectly easy to understand, but is ... well, fun?

Ask them to leave.

Have they gone? Good.

Now welcome inside the House of Games ...

Featuring questions based on some of the most loved rounds from the hit BBC2 show, including Roonerspisims, Venn Will I Be Famous?, Dim Sums and Answer Smash, Richard Osman’s House of Games Quiz Book is the ultimate test of wit, wisdom and imagination.

Curated by Richard Osman and Alan Connor and featuring over 50 new and exclusive games to try out, this is your chance to step inside the House of Games and pitch your trivia skills against your family and friends.

Quirky, unique and exactly the right amount of silly, House of Games contains hours of guaranteed fun!
