Activity Book

Trivia questions meet the New York Times's "Connections" puzzle in a new trivia book from Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings, based on his hugely popular online puzzle "Kennections."

FIRST TRIVIA BOOK IN 15 YEARS: Ken Jennings's last trivia book (Ken Jennings's Trivia Almanac) was published in 2008 and remains a consistent backlist seller for Penguin Random House. This new trivia book is long overdue, and because it more directly caters to Jeopardy! fans than his recent books, it has the potential to be his bestselling and most evergreen Scribner title yet.

BUILDING ON EXISTING FANBASE: Since debuting in Parade in 2012 and then moving to Mental Floss in 2015, Ken Jennings's little puzzle has garnered a big following! More than eight hundred unique puzzles have run, most of which are no longer available online. Beyond the puzzle's existing fans, this book offers the best of both worlds for Jeopardy! trivia fanatics and avid players of the New York Times's "Connections" puzzle.

JENNINGS IN THE JEOPARDY! LIMELIGHT: The "Greatest of All Time" Jeopardy! champion is back in the spotlight as host of the show, which reaches an estimated 27 million viewers weekly. He also co-hosts the popular biweekly podcast Omnibus (400,000 downloads per month), has 464k Twitter followers, maintains a newsletter with 17k subscribers, and even received a Grammy nomination in 2021 for his narration of Alex Trebek's memoir The Answer Is . . ..

SCREEN-FREE SUMMER FUN: A perfect summer activity book for family road trips, long travel days, or lounging around the pool.

"A gung-ho travel guide to Heaven, Hell, and beyond. . . . Jennings approaches his subject with a wry, ready-to-be-delighted open-mindedness." - New Yorker

"Light and irreverent. . . . long on knowledge and mercifully short on claims about the grand truth of things." - Washington Post
