📖 About This Game

A trivia/puzzle game akin to MindTrap, but more child-friendly. The questions require mostly critical and mathematical thinking, there are only a few lateral thinking questions. The cards are large and colorful. The questions are always accompanied by a large illustration, and the answers often come with diagrams and examples. The difficulty of each question is reflected in how many points it is worth: yellow questions are worth 1 point, blue are worth 2 points, red are worth 3 points, and "bonus" questions are worth 1 point. Gameplay and scoring take a back seat to the actual questions. You can play for a certain amount of time, for a certain number of cards, or until a player gets a certain score.
