Test your etiquette knowledge with Mind Your Manners, a sometimes silly but always polite trivia game from the Emily Post Institute.
True or False: You should always accept an offer to hold out your chair while being seated at the dining table.
If you answered false, you’re correct, and you win a point in this trivia game that’s all about etiquette (You may decline, “I’ve got it, thanks though!”). Good manners are about making people feel comfortable, and Mind Your Manners rewards those who know how to put others at ease with their courteous actions. With guidance taken directly from The Emily Post Institute, this game is the final say in how to behave politely—and the winner takes all. Mind Your Manners includes 200 trivia question cards covering:
• Entertaining and table manners: What kind of sandwich do you eat with a knife and fork?
• Titles and pronouns: What does “Her Excellency” do for a living?
• Invitations and gifts: Only one kind of party is specifically meant to elicit gifts—what is it?
• Professional communications: Is there a professional way to slide into someone’s DMs?
• And much more!
An enclosed booklet instructs how to organize a trivia night for two or more competitors and play Mind Your Manners in rounds for points. Or simply leave the cards out as conversation starters at your next get-together or dinner party to see who is the most gracious among you. For those who aren’t so sure, well, this game will teach them to mind their manners.
