The Lateral Book is out now!
We are delighted to announce that the new Lateral game book is now on sale!
100 questions, most of which are brand new, exclusive to the book, and will never appear on the show. Plus there's the best of the questions from the show itself, to play by yourself or with a group. It's great for meet-ups with friends, game nights, road trips and family gatherings.
Each question has all the official clues and background notes — all the stuff that‘s on the question cards but doesn‘t always make it into the show. Plus, there are warm-up questions and bonus articles.
Also, Tom‘s played all the new questions himself, so you can see if you can beat him.
