Deadwood trivia works because its camp is packed with sharp talkers and real historical figures. Questions can cover Al Swearengen, Seth Bullock, the Gem Saloon and the people who pass through.

A strong Deadwood quiz can include Al Swearengen and the Gem Saloon, Seth Bullock, Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, Trixie, Jack McCall and Francis Wolcott. It works because few shows reward close listening like this one.
