About the game
Game based on the very funny 'quiz' show. Two teams of two celebrities in each team compete to answer really obscure questions but can lead to very funny and creative answers. You score very little for getting a question right but if you make a rather obvious answer, a klaxon sounds and you gather lots of minus points. The box features host Stephen Fry on the cover. The odd name for the show, QI, stands for 'Quite Interesting'. The publisher says; According to The Bible what came first the chicken or the egg? Be careful with your answer. Get it right and you move forward but a wrong answer could mean the dreaded klaxon and you'll be going backwards! The answer to this and hundreds of other obscure and fascinating facts can be found in this hilarious board game based on the QI television programme!
