Trivia

Oodles is made up of three main items... a nifty ticking electronic timer that stops when you hold the button down and starts up again when you let go of it, an extraneous plastic Oodle stick (a large "start player" marker), and a deck of Oodle cards.

Each card has 10 questions on it, plus a "Silly Starter." The "silly" question is asked to the player currently holding the Oodle stick and if he/she answers correctly, they begin answering the questions on the card (each answer begins with the same letter). You are allowed only one guess... so if you're wrong, the moderator calls an "all play" and reads the question again. The first player to guess correctly wins the right to keep answering questions on the card - in case of ties, the tied players both take a shot at the next question. The player who answers the last question correctly gets the card... and five cards wins the game. (If the moderator is passing from person to person, if no one gets the last question, the moderator gets the card.)

The joy of the game is in the odd crossword puzzle-like clues:
Q: Cowboy questionnaire
A: Gallup Poll
Q: A very serious hole
A: Grave
Q: Where they regularly hang painters
A: Gallery

Q: Word to describe a naked grizzly
A: Bare
Q: Fish with a very deep voice
A: Bass

Q: How to get around a circle
A: Circumference
Q: Lahr's Lion
A: Cowardly
Q: What the farmer does to his photos
A: Crops

Publisher's Description:

Do you know how to escape from the trunk of a car? How to survive a shark attack? How to evade a forest fire? How to jump from a bridge? The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Game challenges players to use their survival instincts and skills to outlast their opponents. Each question has three possible answers: if you get it right you move ahead, if you get it wrong your opponent moves ahead, leaving you to face the peril at hand. The situations presented range from the hair-raising (how to cross a piranha-infested river) to the humorous (how to scratch an itch in a cast), providing fun on many levels == and you’ll learn a lot of interesting information along the way. Great preparation for the great outdoors -- or a great party.

The game's theme is based on answering questions relating to popular advertising logos and brands. Players move their pawns around a spiraling board for answering questions correctly relating to a logo, until they get to the Winning Zone at the centre of the board. Movement depends on the successful answering of questions to proceed to the next coloured area on the board.

Different countries have different versions of the game, with many local brands represented in each edition.

There are 400 cards with 4 questions on each card - blue, green, yellow and red.

The winning player is the first person to get around the board by answering the most questions correctly. They then win by answering all the questions on a card (blue, green, yellow and red question) whilst in the Winning Zone.

Game play alternates as players take it in turn to ask questions and move around the board.

Trivial Pursuit is the original trivia game that started it all.

Each player has a circular playing piece with six pie-shaped holes. The goal of the game is to collect a pie in each color. The colors correspond to different question categories.

The board consists of a circular track with spaces in seven different colors. Six of the colors correspond to question categories while the last color gives a new dice roll. Six spaces along the track are "pie spaces", and from these there are "spokes" of track leading to the middle of the board.

Players roll a die and move along the track in any direction they like. When a player stops on a color they get a question of the appropriate category. If the player answers a question correctly while on a pie space, they get a pie of that color (assuming they don't already have it). A correct answer on another square allows the player to roll again.

Once the player has one pie in each color, she can move along the spokes to the middle of the board to win the game.

In this game players try to be the first to guess the correct title from the ReFraze given.

For instance:
Category = 80s Pop Song
ReFraze = Smack my person with your finest hit
Hint = Pat Benatar
Answer = Hit me with your best shot
