Linkee

Bread – Republic – Boat – Split -> Banana

In this quiz game you do not only look for answers to questions but for a term that links the answers, the so-called Link!

Each card in the game shows, on the front side, four questions and answers, a clue and the term for the solution. The backside of the card shows a letter, either L, I, N, K or E.

Players sort themselves into teams; one player is quizmaster for the whole game or players take turns to be quizmaster for a round. The current quizmaster draws a card, shows the letter to all players and then reads out all the questions. After each question teams note down their answer – you can never name it! – and try to think of the umbrella term that could connect questions and answers. Each team can call “Linkee” at any time and name the link. If you call Linkee, you must answer! When the link is correct, the team receives the card; if not, the team must pause till the next card. When nobody wants to give a guess, the quizmaster reads out the clue.

You have also the option of removing or swapping letters – you can discard two letters that you do not want and remove a letter of your choice from a team of your choice. If you discard three letters, you may take any letter from the box, because: The first team that can spell LINKEE with cards it did win has won the game!

An example: Answers – Flat, Percussion, Sharp, Rest; Clue – Punctuation for musicians; Link – Musical Notation. Or, easy: Halloween, Saw, Scream, Friday 13^th – Hide while watching – Horror Film.

Challenging, interesting, good, mostly astonishing – a well-made and well-working trivia quiz variant for big groups, that surprisingly also works well for two players.
