Nat Geo game lets families play and learn together
Featuring videos and photos from the National Geographic archives, the game offers three different modes of play: Quiz, Explorer and Puzzle Battles. There are also traditional jigsaw and other types of visual puzzles to explore, but these are secondary to the main modes.
Families looking to play geographic trivia contests should select the Quiz mode. Supporting up to four players, families can choose the region of the world they want to tackle, select the length of the quiz (40, 60 or 80 questions) and then decide on the difficulty level of "Easy" or "Hard." Players can select one of eight characters to represent them on screen (or if playing on the Xbox 360 , you can use your Xbox Live avatar). The competition then begins as players are challenged to answer questions correctly in the fastest time possible. You earn points for correct answers and lose points when you are wrong.
MORE: Kid's Tech columnsThe Quiz mode is broken into rounds, which feature similarly formatted questions. For example, one round might be "Points for All" which means that all players can respond to the multiple choice questions and the points you receive depend on how quickly you respond and if you were correct. In another round, the format may be "Bet Your Life," which requires you to wager points for right (and wrong) answers.
