The Great KiwiZfind the wrong answers

In each round, nine propositions, but only one is true. In turn, both teams must eliminate a wrong answer. The further you go, the more points you score. But beware, because if you make a mistake, you lose some…

Thanks to a clever system, all the proposals seem coherent, and, obviously, it is very unlikely that we know the right answer. An original quiz game therefore, since it is the deduction that takes precedence, not the knowledge.

Secret Identityexercise minimalist imagination

Secret Identity

Eight characters, real or imaginary, are drawn for each round. Each player must make the others guess one using small, very basic pictograms. But be careful, you only receive a limited number at the start of the game, and when you use one, it is lost.

A game that requires imagination to make its compositions of pictograms, while having to restrict itself so as not to find yourself too limited at the end of the game. The characters are diverse enough to allow everyone to participate.

TTMCa Trivial Pursuit fun

“Ah, a board with boxes and questions, I know, it’s Trivial Pursuit ! » Yes, almost, but not quite. the Trivial Pursuit is a game that is anything but playful: if you know the answer, you get bored, if you don’t know it, you get even more bored…

The whole trick of TTMC (How much do you wear?), is that we estimate our own knowledge in the imposed theme, on a scale of 1 to 10. For example, how much do you put yourself in “Advertising slogans”, in “Synchronized swimming” or in “Chicken eggs »? Level 1 is very easy, level 10 reserved for experts. It’s up to you to gauge yourself…

We cheat a little since the game was not released in 2022, but its sequel, TTMC 2, if. And it’s the same thing, with new questions.

Little Secretunmask the infiltrators

Your secret organization is preparing its ultimate meeting to dominate the world. But infiltrators lurk among you. Worse still, a journalist managed to break in. Fortunately, a password allows you to recognize each other.

A game of bluffing, deduction and imagination, in which we happily eliminate each other. In the pure line of very good Linq (unfortunately no longer on sale), but also more accessible.

Two Rooms and a Boomto play up to 30

A secret role is assigned to each player, then the group is divided into two: half in one room, the rest in another. Each turn, hostages are exchanged. The goal of the blue team: that the president survives. The goal of the red team: that the bomber explodes with him.
