Kwizniac, 10 Clues in Decreasing Order of Difficulty, Continuum Games | Trivia Countdown Card Game

This is a fun game for adults. It starts with a very vague clue and you have to guess the answer. Some can be guessed on the first or second clue. Some we needed all of the clues to get it. It can feel like everyone else is getting easy cards and you get the super difficult ones. Remind everyone not to call out the answer when they figure it out if it isn’t their turn. Be sure to decide the stopping point before you start. It could be points or number of rounds. We played once with a younger family member and it was painful because she just didn’t have enough general knowledge to draw from.

I sell a competing conversation game, (What Do You Think? Conversation Cards) but I have to admit this game is really fun. We play this game exclusively in the car and my kids love it, and I like the fact that they're learning and having fun at the same time. My kids are 14 and 15, so only about half of the 200 cards are suitable, but I'm fine with that because I figure that I'll eventually integrate the more difficult cards into the game as my kids get older.I'm not a parent who lets my kids obsess about using their cell phones every second of the day, but I don't mind when they text and play games on their phones in the car when we're driving to school, sports practices, tournaments, and other extra curricular activities. So to put into context how fun this game is, my kids totally ignore their phones when we play this game in the car. In fact, when we arrive at our destination, my kids always say "One more, just one more," and we end up sitting in the car just to keep playing the game.This game is highly recommended.

My family of 5, 3 generations, male and female, ages 14 to 70 really enjoyed this game. Each card in the box lists ten clues to help you get to the answer, a person place or thing. The clues are cleverly written and the answer is from a variety of topics ranging from generational experience and knowledge, math, science, culture, history and varying tastes in music, movies, novels, artists, hobbies, etc. We played it numerous times over the Christmas holidays. Everyone eventually guessed an answer on the first hint, the 10 pointer. That is hard to do. The 10 pointer is invariably very, very broad based. It's more fun than you expect. We were surprised at the range of knowledge we each have; and we're saying "how did YOU know that !?! I was surprised once when I answered correctly on the very first clue and everyone demanded how could I have gotten it from that. I have no idea where the answer came from, really; I guess it came from my subconscious, or the back of the filing cabinet in my head.

We really enjoy this game as a family. I think it is a bit overpriced, but it was Christmas and I needed one more gift, so ... you know how it goes.We really like trivia and my 8 year old son gets to practice reading. He is able to answer some of the questions, which makes it more fun for all of us. But some of them are challenging enough to keep even mom and dad interested!

This seemed like it would be perfect to bring on a long road trip but we didn't even get past the first card. Something about it was just too confusing for the driver and they found it difficult to keep track of all the key points. We play 20 questions a lot but for some reason reversing the roles of how the hints are obtained was just too distracting.We're still keeping it for parties but it just didn't work for us as a car game.I do hope this company explores themed editions - I agree with another reviewer that the questions in this deck are really geared towards animals and people. It would be fun to see things like pop culture, sports, history - the categories of trivia are limitless so it'd be ideal to see them bundled into sets versus "anything from anywhere at anytime."

I gave this to a friend, but now I wish I had bought one for myself. It is something you can have fun with alone, just for the information. The object of the game is for players to accumulate as many points as possible by correctly answering as many trivia questions as possible. To help players correctly identify the answer to each question, a set of 10 clues is provided in decreasing order of difficulty, where each clue is easier to decipher than the previous clue in sequence. If you don't care about competing or scoring, you can do this alone. Of course, it is fun playing with others, too.

Our entire family loves it! We play in teams or as singles! The questions are varied topics! Excellent for the whole family! We acquire knowledge and are having fun at the same time!!!

We own over a couple dozen trivia games and this is definitely one of the better ones for several reasons:1) It's not your typical one question format. A series of 10 clues are read in order of least useful, which adds another dynamic.2) If you guess it wrong, you're penalized. This is the only trivia game where that happens, so people learn rather quickly that blurting out answers prematurely is going to be a bad idea.3) They include a ton of cards. Some trivia games really slack on the amount of cards they provide and Kwizniac provides more than enough.The only complaint is some of the cards are too hard. Obscure historical figures, for example.Overall we really enjoyed this game and another great thing about it is it would work well with a group or even with two people.
