About the game
Your animal knowledge will be challenged over and over again in Quizoo, a rapid-fire game in which you want to know which animals are biggest, heaviest, fastest, and longest-lived. To set up, shuffle the sixty-card deck. The front of each card shows 3-5 animals out of twenty types; the back side shows one of four symbols and either a + or -. A round consists of someone flipping over the top card to reveal the animals on that card and the symbol on the top of the deck. If a heart + is revealed, for example, you want to name the longest-lived animal on the now revealed card more quickly than anyone else; if heart-, then the shortest-lived animal; if stopwatch+, then the fastest animal, etc. If you name the correct animal, you keep the revealed card; if not, you return one of your already collected cards to the bottom of the deck along with that revealed card. Whoever collects eight cards first wins! To increase the challenge, you can reveal two cards at the start of each round, giving everyone more animals from which to choose.

Questions and answers
Quizoo supports 2–8 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Quizoo is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Quizoo for ages 6 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Quizoo has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
