About the game
Teams of Enemies is a chaotic trivia game where alliances are temporary and betrayal is part of the fun. Players begin on two teams, but score points individually—because at any moment, you might switch sides! Each round, players answer trivia questions as part of a team, but with a twist: shifting allegiances, team-swapping mechanics, and strategic backstabbing mean that your biggest rival might suddenly become your teammate—or your teammate your worst enemy. Fast-paced and unpredictable, this is trivia with a social strategy layer. Think you can trust your friends? Think again.
