Sometimes I feel sorry for geography. Everyone always seems to think it's about capital cities, flags, countries and rivers. It isn't! To assume you know geography because you can regurgitate endless, almost random, facts is silly. Thus educational software based on that premise is equally naive.

Having said that, this is an entertaining game. Up to four players can join in a race to amass 100 points. Questions are posed and wrong answers produce extra clues. The more clues provided, the less points you get for a question. Add to that mystery questions and special "no clue" questions and the result is fun. The mystery questions are particularly rotten. They come in three parts and are worth 20 points if you get them all correct. If not, you lose 20 points!

The concept of a quiz is pretty boring, as demonstrated by the Questor series from Computeristic. Thor has recognised this and much thought has obviously gone into screen presentation and sound. They're lively, imaginative and hold attention.
