In Quizball, you move on a football pitch board by answering trivia questions correctly. The closer you get to your opponent’s goal, the harder the questions become. After 90 minutes of gameplay, the player or team with the most goals wins. This mix of dice rolling and trivia challenges both sports and quiz enthusiasts.
Who Is This Game For?
Designed for at least two players who enjoy sports and trivia, Quizball is a family-friendly game with a moderate 90-minute duration. No prior experience is needed due to straightforward rules and a focus on questions and movement.
How It Works
Quizball uses the Roll / Spin and Move mechanic: after answering a question correctly, you roll a die to move your piece forward on the football field. The trivia questions increase in difficulty as you approach the opponent’s goal. Once the 90-minute game time ends, the player or team with the most goals wins.
