PART ONE · THE ORIGINS
The phrase “trick or treat” first appeared in a North American newspaper in which year and place?
Every Halloween history repeats Blackie, Alberta, 1927. But the Sault Daily Star printed “tricks or treats” on 1 November 1917 — ten years earlier, and also in Canada. Ontario got there first.

Why this one is different

House rules. Every book.

The Jan Walker standard
  1. 90 questions. 10 themed parts. No padding.
  2. Every fact verified against two independent sources.
  3. Answers explained — the story behind the number.
  4. Disputed facts flagged as disputed. Honestly.
  5. Built to be read out loud and argued over.
Keep the argument going
