QUOKKA Geography Board Game for Kids 8-12 - World Learning Family Game for Teens and Adults - | 100 Question Cards | Top Facts | Play Indoor & Outdoor | - Educational Globe Toy for 6 10 Year Olds

My kids and I love this game.

Vivid colors. My grandson loves it. He loves geography. Nice educational game. Fun to play. I was disappointed at first with the size of the box. I was thinking it was going to be a Board game and was thinking Wow, unless this is double folded, the board must be shall. After going through all the photos and descriptions, I Didn't return it. I'm glad I gifted it to him.

We love games and trivia and geography so hopes were high for this game. The idea is great. There are few colored squares (which prompt a trivia card draw) and with three of us playing we only encountered a colored dot a grand total of 6 times. The questions are good. The board path is hard to see (thin black dotted lines anchored by a small arrow) and active bodies make bumping it and upending token placement a frequent occurrence. I’m not saying don’t get it. But we will be coloring in more dots to make it a bit more exciting. Also, my 10-year old pointed out that the elephant in Africa was the exact same one as the one in Asia. A tiny minor thing, but we all know their ears are different.

The game play is very tedious. Your location the map is completely irrelevant meaning no geography is being learned. It's like candy land in game play, you simply move forward. The difference is it can take you absolutely forever (1-2 hours). The cards have many typos. If you already know the answers the penalties for getting them wrong don't matter, in which case the only thing that breaks the tedium up is gone. If you don't know the answer to the random trivia the penalty is quite severe and you often have to go backwards very far. It is not a fun or efficient way to learn things. There are a couple positive ones, but the colored spots are spaced so far apart you rarely land on them. Some of the questions are worded in such a way the questions make no sense. We played for an hour with additional rules to try and make something happen (namely more questions) then gave up and we might try and make our own game with the board. But it's hard to make out where things are due to very simplified world map covered in graphics.

I love the cards. The game itself is confusing and time consuming. We use thr cards to trivia and my children have learned a ton from them.

My family enjoys this game tremendously BUT we made a bunch of modifications. As it was sent, I'd rate it maybe 2 stars? The directions are SUPER unclear. But I took a sharpie and colored in a couple of dozen new pink dots to create more interaction with the question cards, and then took a silver sharpie and colored in the rest of the dots. We play if you land on a silver dot you have to figure out what country you're in and play a song from that country. We listen to it while we play until the next person lands on a silver dot. If you customize it to what your family is into, I imagine you'll love it. You could add a color for jumping jacks or a drink or whatever appeals to you.

Played w my 12 year old nephew and had so much fun. We asked a question on every toll and if they got it right, they could roll again.

Fabric is annoying to play on. The game doesn’t actually have anything to do with the map, you could be moving pawns around a picture of anything it’s immaterial to the game. We very rarely land on the colors that require a question. The questions were fun but for a cheaper price I could have just gotten a deck of geography trivia. Very expensive game for what you get. It doesn’t teach geography which was my main hope. Played it once. Wish I could return it. Kids ages 6-16. No one liked it.

Played this game with my kids for 5 minutes before deciding to return. Mat has creases which make pawns fall over. Very rarely need to answer questions due to lack of coloured spaces. Instructions were incomprehensible. Seems like some AI generated nonsense. 0/10

Thank you, it's rather cute and great for all ages.

Amazing game, can't stop playing with family evenings. Highly recommend

Very fun, the questions are easy to challenging. Our 5 year old was able to play and have fun. Our only complaint would be there wasn't enough question spots on the map, lots of "safe" spots but not a lot of coloured question spaces. Otherwise a blast!

First I was disappointed by the instructions. ‘Who would be the person who hasn’t travelled?’ Secondly, only four can play at any time. We were hoping to play with our son’s family, therefore needed six people game ability. I liked the way it was presented, giving you a bag to keep the pieces together. However, it really wasn’t what I expected. I will give it away.
