kNOW!

The Quiz thAT’S ALWAYS Spot on

kNOW! is taking the genre of quiz games into the age of the world wide web for good. kNOW! can be played with or without Google Assistant, therefore there are two age limits and accordingly marked question cards in all four categories.

The active player is the quiz master of the round and draws a card according to the location of his player pawn on the board and explains the individual game. He does not play himself but selects and poses tasks or question and maybe solves them, manages the Assistant and awards points. For being quiz master, you advance your marker by one step. There are 12 individual games:  Writing down suitable answers – Writing down  questions that result in the given answer - Estimating of number values, e.g. current temperatures at a location - Betting on consecutive dice results - Completing of phrases - Selecting of one of three answer options - Giving the fastest answer -Competing for hitting the buzzer within a time frame - Repeating tongue twisters - Humming of songs that others must guess -Guessing a term from two sounds - Completing a term for the most hits in a search engine. When a marker reaches the starting case on the circular track again, the winner of the game is the player or team in the lead at the end of the current individual game.

kNOW! is a fascinating addition to the genre of quiz games, a game that always is spot on and that provides ever-changing individual games. Six of those games need the Google Assistant to play, five can be played with or without it and humming song is played only without the Assistant. A deserving winner of Toy Award 2019 in the category Teenager & Adults.
