From Keanu Reeves to Mozart and Margaret Thatcher, test your knowledge of where notable figures first entered the world. Pin the birthplaces of icons across history, arts, sports, and science in this fast-paced challenge.

Birthplaces is a lively group trivia set that asks a simple question: where did they come from? With 34 multiple‑choice questions spanning explorers, composers, world leaders, athletes, and cultural icons, it’s perfect for team breakouts, class warm‑ups, family game nights, or livestreamed sessions on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, YouTube Live, Twitch, Google Meet, and more. Split into teams, set a 20–30 second timer per question, and keep the energy high—mix easier wins with trickier geography to spark debate. Play in one long run or as themed mini‑rounds (arts, politics, science), and crown the globe‑trotting champions at the end.
