‘The game which sorts the quickwits from the dimwits’!
The last player or team left in the game wins.

Pitwits challenges you to think fast but straight.
Take turns to read a set of five clues which become progressively easier.

Shout the answer when you think you know it. If you're right, your opponents move down the board towards the pit and out of the game. If you're wrong, you move towards it. A great family, party and team game to play, now rare. An average game will last 30 to 60 minutes.
