The 1% Club Christmas crackers: what are they and how do you play?

The 1% Club Christmas Crackers turn Christmas dinner into a quiz night: each set of six contains logic and reasoning questions inspired by the ITV show. They suit anyone who likes a brain-teaser, and because the questions are quick, they work for a mixed-age table. Here is how they work.

What is The 1% Club?

The 1% Club is a quiz show on ITV hosted by Lee Mack. It is known for questions that test logic and common sense rather than general knowledge, with questions getting harder as the round goes on until only a tiny share of people, in theory, can answer correctly. Check the ITV programme page for the latest series.

What is in The 1% Club Christmas Crackers?

According to the product listing, the set contains 30 brand new questions, based on logic and reasoning. See the product page for the full contents, the age guidance and what you need to supply.

How do you play them at the table?

1. Pull the crackers as normal.
2. Take it in turns to read out a question from inside.
3. Everyone writes down an answer (a pen and scrap paper help).
4. Reveal the answers together and see who got it right.

Read the instructions in the set so you know how the questions are meant to be used.

Who are they for?

Anyone who enjoys puzzles. Check the age guidance on the listing before buying for children. They suit quieter families who prefer a quiz to a party game.
