GENRE : TRIVIA/QUIZ puzzles
Puzzle from National Geographic - guess (it can be with your friends!) Easy puzzles on the knowledge of the world around us.
National Geographic Challenge comes with the imprimatur of one of the
worldls oldest and most respected scientific publications in a bid to
make planetary exploration both educational and fun.
On the video game side, the game was developed by Gusto Games (which
put together John Daly's ProStroke Golf, among others) which has
managed to create a gaming experience that also makes use of the
massive video and knowledge libraries of National Geographic
magazine.
National Geographic Challenge features both single player and
multiplayer Quiz games to test and grow the playersl knowledge of
their world. It also comes with a competitive two-player Puzzle
Battle to pit wits.
For the younger player (and maybe the more mature) there are also
richly detailed Jigsaws to complete. This features alongside a set of
puzzle-form mini-games.
At the heart of the experience is LExplorer model in which up to four
players compete to claim territories on the planet. Unlike Risk
however, this global domination is achieved by correctly answering
questions as well as competing in the puzzle based mini-games.
