The X-Files Trivia Game is a board game released in 1997 for 2–6 players, 45 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up.
This X-Files game is based on season 1-3. You need a vcr to be able to play it. You play an enclosed video tape, then a question gets asked, either the question is connected to the series clip from the tape, or it's about topics concerning the X-Files. (You can chose between two different degrees of difficulty.) The topics are: - The Characters - The Background/History - The Mystery - Behind the Scenes
