In Death Trivia Game
Question: How does Peabody take her coffee? Try and use the correct terms applied in the book.
Question: How many kids does Dr. Mira have?
Something in my memory tells me Dr. Mira has two children? Though I don't recall ever seeing them, just mentioning them in a conversation between her and Eve ?? I don't have books to refer to, I'm going by memory since I listen to audiobooks, then return them. As far as Peabody's coffee, I'm too scared to attempt that one! LOL I know it's going to be something Peabody-ish! I just can't recall
ANSWER1st Question
Peabody takes her coffee Light (cream) or Light & Sweet (cream & sugar)
2nd Question
Dr. Mira has 3 children:
Gillian, Callie & Matthew

I will...let me think of something and I'll post later today :)

Do you want to ask the next question?
Please call me Dawn. I'd rather try to answer questions for now

ANSWER
Since no one has posted an answer yet, I'll give it to you.....$2,300.85.
Well, I guess I'm too late with that one. I'm currently listening to Promises in Death, and just had the answer today. What I really love was the earlier discussion about the money with Peabody when she was drunk. She told Eve that so far, McNab was up one hundreds dollar. What a great part of the book that is. The party from beginning to end, starting with Eve freaking out and begging Roarke to stay until the very end with the smart gal meeting. Awesome!!
Question: What is the name of the off planet resort belonging to Roarke, and can you name the planet on which it resides?
Correct, Dawn!It is Olympus, and it's actually a space station.
Yikes - I'm so way past these books, that I can't remember that far back!!
If I remember correctly, she gave her an old school sheriff's badge.
I thought the Sheriff's badge was later. What book did she give her the sweater, the one she made? At least I think it was a sweater. And along the same vein, what was the present Eve gave Roarke for their first Christmas together?
Correct! Sorry I didn't post sooner; I went away for the weekend and haven't been on Goodreads at all. I think I'm suffering from withdrawal!
In what book does Peabody pass the Detective Exam, and what was Eve wearing at the ceremony?
Was it in "Origin in Death"? Eve wore her dress blues, much to Roarke's immense satisfaction, which conjured up all sorts of possibilities.. I remember that he was disappointed when she changed back into her street cloths.
Hey Vicci, Your answer about the dress blues is correct, but the book answer is incorrect. The right book is earlier in the series.

Name the book in which Roarke bought Eve a stuffed Galahad. What did he have to do to make the present special?
Did he change the eye colour to match galahad's? I don't know the book tho, I have to double check!
You are right about changing the eye color. i will hold off on the book so someone else can answer it first.
Jonetta wrote: "Was it Conspiracy in Death?"I'm sorry I haven't gotten back with you sooner. I had to take a break. My husband is pretty sick and the last few weeks has been worse than usual. Anyway yes you are right.
Question: Name the 4 tattoo's Trina puts on Eve and where they are located on her body. Bonus points for the books they appear in!
Mod
Good job Jonetta! You got the first three. The last one is on her butt but it wasn't a heart..
Mod
It was a rosebud!
Correct! I totally forgot about the hearts and arrows until I researched it. GREAT job!
Mod
That's alright I'll give it to you anyways. Okay I'm going to do another one since no one's posted one yet. Question: What is Roarke's estimated gross worth in 2058?
Hint: He's definitely loaded haha
Wow you're on fire! 3 Billion, 800 million to be precise but you pretty much got it :) Boy, what would you do with all that money
Mod
Seriously? Take care of family, pay off the mortgage and travel a lot. I don't really long for material things but I like vacationing and seeing the world.
STUDENT LOANS! ;) We only have about 3 billion, 750 million of them! That leaves a whole 50 million to spend on whatever! :DI'd post a question, but it's almost 2 am, and I'm brain dead!
ehh i sat here for like 10 minutes straight, trying to think of something to ask..but it's like 630 and i can't think of anything -_-. ill come back in the afternoon, once i've had my coffee. :)
QUESTION:I got one, but it is pretty easy. In which book did Peabody get her "make over"?
Anyone can ask a trivia question, either general or from a particular book. If the question is from a specific book, then the name of the book should be given. This will help make it a little easier and hopefully keep the game flowing.
After the question has been posted, the deadline for answering is three days. After three days, a hint may be given by the poster, or a new question can be asked. If it is a hint, then the deadline will be one more day. This hint should be done by an edit of the original post, and not a new post. The answer can be a new post. If the question has still not been answered, after the hint, then a new question can be asked by anyone in the group. The game will flow better if the person giving the answer could ask the next question, but this is not a requirement. There is also not a restriction on how many times a person can play the game in a row.
If the question is answered before the three day deadline, then a new question can be asked, again, by anyone. It will make it easier if the question, answer, and hint is identified:
For example:
The question may be referred to in one of two ways, either with a question mark or the word Question:
The hint should be "Hint:" The Answer can be "Answer:", or someone can ask is it? and then the answer.
Any kind of search engine such as the internet, or other devices may be used. I will try to keep track of the time-line in case askers forget. I can either set up a archive topic of the unanswered questions, or possibly remind the poster if the three day deadline has passed, or even send a pm request for the answer and post myself. If anyone has a idea of what might be better, then please put it in the game suggestion thread. Any other questions, observations or ideas will also be welcome.
Let's see how the game goes. If the rules have to be re-worked, then I will edit this post and notify people with a post in this topic in a new comment that I have revised the rules. I will start the process with an easy general question.
