If you’re looking for a Father’s Day gift that rocks, I have a gift suggestion for you: Dad Rock: The Ultimate Music Trivia Game from LPs to MP3s,
It’s a game where music lovers get to show off their knowledge of hidden tracks, rare recordings and one-hit wonders. It’s the perfect gift for the guy who raised you on rock anthems and introduced you to vinyl.
It’s the gift I’d love to play with my own dad, whose musical tastes have deeply influenced me. It’s because of him that I know every word to “One of These Nights” by The Eagles and that my own musical knowledge extends far beyond viral tracks on TikTok.
I’ve gifted my dad luxury items and practical items that he still owns, but I’ve never really given him something that he and I could enjoy together. And after getting a preview of Dad Rock from its creator and New York Post’s Senior Manager of Product, Conrad Doucette, I think my dad and I are scheduled for some fun father-daughter weekends.
To play the game, players pick to answer a musical trivia question from the A-Side of the card or opt to try the multiple-choice questions on the B-Side of the card. Along with earning points, players’ correct answers reveal pieces of “the algorithm”, which is the connection between every question. The real fun is figuring out what that connection is.
There are 800 trivia questions, which will give you plenty of chances to prove to Dad that you, in fact, do know the lyrics to “Wherever I May Roam” and are not just a poser in a Metallica t-shirt.
I’ve focused this story around dads, but this is a great gift for anyone who knows the power of a good guitar riff, a pop-y hook or a heart-pumping beat. Forget grandma’s hobbies, let’s bring back game nights and let Dad Rock be the challenge of the evening.
If you’re a Prime member, the game will arrive on Sunday, right in time for Father’s Day. But hurry, ordering windows may apply if you’re in a rush.
