fun fact: if you follow up a Magnus Archives hyperfixation with binge-listening to Lateral with Tom Scott, Tom Scott's posh RP-accented british voice will overwrite Jonathan Sims's posh RP-accented british voice in your head, which will lead to some very funny mental sound clips

"I'm 70 kilos of asthma, what else am I going to be interested in?"
-Tom Scott (Lateral ep.54, 43:11), about obscure British train facts
The Lateral book is coming soon!
Pre‑order the UK or US edition
We are delighted to announce that the new Lateral game book is now available for pre-order!
100 questions, most of which are brand new, exclusive to the book, and will never appear on the show. Plus there's the best of the questions from the show itself, to play by yourself or with a group. It's great for meet-ups with friends, game nights, road trips and family gatherings.
Each question has all the official clues and background notes — all the stuff that‘s on the question cards but doesn‘t always make it into the show. Plus, there are warm-up questions and bonus articles.
Also, Tom‘s played all the new questions himself, so you can see if you can beat him.
Pre-orders count towards our first week sales which are super important in the publishing trade. So we'd appreciate it if you could pre-order from any of these bookshops:
