Introduction

Trivial Pursuit, the PS3 adaptation of the classic board game, is largely considered to be one of the easiest platinum trophies one can obtain. Its trophy set is entirely offline and can be completed in a day. With the ability to pause the game at any time using the button, and a comprehensive answer guide to the game's free Movie Pack DLC (courtesy of SirkSirk), trophy hunters should have little-to-no difficulty in unlocking the platinum trophy.

Walkthrough

General Gameplay Tips
Pressing the button during play pauses the game, giving you ample time to look up the answers to the questions you're given. I highly recommend downloading the Trivial Pursuit Movie Pack, which is available free from Playstation Store, and consulting SirkSirk's Movie Pack Questions & Answers thread.

Note that the multiplayer modes (Classic and Facts & Friends) can be played with a single controller. All trophies must be unlocked by Player 1.

Step 1: Classic

For your first 10 turns, land on regular spaces (not Wedge HQs) and answer your questions incorrectly, or, to play it safe, just let the timer run out, unlocking the "You don't know everything", "Maybe you don't know anything?" and "Come on! You're not even trying!" trophies. Now head for the Wedge HQs and answer every question correctly on the first attempt. When landing on a Roll Again space and rolling the dice, move to another Roll Again space if possible, unlocking the "Keep on Rolling" trophy in the process. After winning all wedges, move to the center space and correctly answer the question to win the game.

Step 2: Clear the Board

Step 2a: CTB Playthrough 1
In this playthrough, you'll need to work quickly, aiming to finish the game in under 10 minutes to unlock the "You Were A Blur" trophy. Head straight for the Wedge HQ spaces and answer their questions correctly; when landing on a regular space answer IN-correctly, as clearing the board in this manner will unlock the "Straight To The Point" trophy.

Step 2b: CTB Playthrough 2
In this playthrough, you must avoid landing on any Wedge HQ's until you have a 10x multiplier in its applicable category. This means that you must answer every question correctly, and clear all other regular spaces. If you find yourself forced into a Wedge HQ, quit the game using the button and restart from your last auto-save. After clearing all regular spaces, you should have 6 Wedge HQs at 10x multipliers. Answer their questions correctly on the first attempt, and answer the Final Question correctly on the first attempt.

Step 3: Facts & Friends

Step 3a: F&F Playthrough 1:
Start a 4-player Facts & Friends game with one controller.

In Facts & Friends mode, each wedge is broken up into 4 parts -- a successful bet gives you 1 point, and answering a question correctly in a regular space gives you 2 points.

In this playthrough, avoid Wedge HQs and only win wedges by betting that your opponent won't know the answer to a question, and deliberately answering the question wrong for them. Have the other two opponents bet that the opponent answering the question will know the answer to ensure that they don't win.

With careful planning, you can answer a question in each category without earning a wedge (i.e. if you answer correctly while having less than 2 points in a category), while still winning all wedges by betting. This will unlock the "Flawless..." trophies in addition to the "Bet Your Bottom Dollar" trophy.

For the final question, answer correctly and have your opponents answer incorrectly to win the end game phase without losing any lives.

Step 3b: F&F Playthrough 2:
Start a 2-player Facts & Friends game with one controller.

Land on a Wedge HQ with Player 1 and answer the question correctly to unlock the "Wedge HQ Winner" trophy. Now win a wedge with Player 2. After both players have a Wedge, have Player 1 initiate a Wedge Off by landing on one of the Bonus Event spaces (which will unlock the "Risky Business" trophy) until you get the Wedge Off icon, designated by an orange Wedge with a target on it. This initiates a series of True or False questions. Answer the questions correctly with Player 1 to unlock the "Wedge Off Winner" trophy.

If circumstances in your first F&F playthrough caused you to miss any of the "Flawless..." trophies, now would be a good time to unlock them.

Win all six wedges with either player (winning them with Player 2 will make it easier) to initiate the end game phase. Have Player 1 lose the end game phase to unlock the "Better luck next time" trophy and, if your playthroughs went well, the "Platinum Trophy" as well.

Full Circle

Fill your puck for the first time (Classic)

Wedges are earned by correctly answering the question given after landing on a Wedge HQ, the large spaces found at the intersections of the outer ring of spaces and the 'spokes' leading to the game board's 'hub'. Earn each of the game's six wedges to unlock this trophy. If you don't know the answer, press the button to pause the game, giving you ample time to look it up. I highly recommend downloading the Trivial Pursuit Movie Pack, which is available free from Playstation Store, and consulting SirkSirk's Movie Pack Questions & Answers thread.

NOTE: If you're unable to find the answer, feel free to guess; quitting to the XMB before the game auto-saves will allow you to try again.

Classic Champ

Win a game of Classic Trivial Pursuit

In a Classic game, earn all of the wedges, head to the center hub and answer the final question correctly to unlock this trophy. If you don't know the answer, press the button to pause the game, giving you ample time to look it up. I highly recommend downloading the Trivial Pursuit Movie Pack, which is available free from Playstation Store, and consulting SirkSirk's Movie Pack Questions & Answers thread.

See "Unstoppable"

Unstoppable

String together 10 correct answers (Classic)

Answer 10 consecutive questions correctly in a "Classic" game. If you don't know the answer, press the button to pause the game, giving you ample time to look it up. I highly recommend downloading the Trivial Pursuit Movie Pack, which is available free from Playstation Store, and consulting SirkSirk's Movie Pack Questions & Answers thread.

NOTE: If you're unable to find the answer, feel free to guess; quitting to the XMB before the game auto-saves will allow you to try again.

Keep on Rolling

Land on a roll again space twice in a row (Classic)

Land on a Roll Again space, roll the dice and advance to another Roll Again space. You will have the opportunity to fulfill these requirements several times over while working towards the Platinum Trophy. If so inclined, you can also quit the game and reload to try again until you get the desired dice roll.
