But hybrid also means that there are still physical elements: first of all cards for bidding, a small circular game track with bonuses at specific spaces on the track and a small personal player board, where you administer your jokers and bonus markers that you can receive from the track.

The game itself is simple: the app reads out aloud the next question, all players bid from their available bidding cards, and the player who played the highest card gets the chance to answer the question. If he answers correctly, he scores, otherwise the player with the lowest victory points gets his or her chance.

Straightforward, nothing spectacular, but it works. The speakers in the app are entertaining and the questions are modern and often interesting. But the best is that the app remembers the questions you already solved. So, up to now, I have never heard a question twice. And more questions can be purchased, even now the first expansion is available.

Of course, the bidding cards are put aside after use, so it is not wise to play the highest card all the time. Also, there are more victory points in later rounds for a right answer, but also negative victory points if you fail.

Now this is the main concept. The bonuses and jokers are used to alter the rules, for example there is a bonus for changing the order of the bidding cards, so that the lowest value wins the round. Furthermore there are special challenges at the end of each of the three rounds. Then all players take part in the same question: first the app gives us a close-up view of a picture and every player has to guess what it is. Then you must find a town on the world map and finally there is an estimation question, and only with good estimates you can win the final victory points.

You see: Quiz It is not something new or unexpected. But it is a great and modern new way to lead children (and the young at heart) to knowledge games. I normally try to keep my mobile phone away from the boardgame table, but with Quiz It it feels right to use it. I never thought that I would go back to those question games, but this game convinced me (and my family). Indeed, it is often on our table at the moment, and even my youngest son - although a lot of the questions are still too difficult for him - loves playing it. Thanks to RUDY GAMES for this unexpected experience!

One last word: at the moment there is only a German version available. As the game is strongly language-dependent, all player should speak or better understand German well.
