Whereabouts
2–6 players · 60 min · 10+
Whereabouts is a trivial knowledge game based around the towns and cities of Great Britain. (Great Britain being the name of the island containing England, Wales and Scotland.)
Players take turn to roll a die, answer the appropriate numbered question and, if correct, move that number of spaces. A correctly answered 'six' allows you to take an additional turn immediately. The aim is to collect a token from the four corners of the map and return to the start.
Each card contains questions in six categories, all with multiple choice answers - Rivers; Cities; Motorways; Counties; General Knowledge; Correct Place Names.
- Which river flows through a particular city? (3 options)
- Which co-ordinate on the map is the location of a particular city? (2 options)
- Which motorway connects two places? (3 options)
- Which county contains a particular landmark? (3 options)
- A general knowledge question associated with a particular place (3 options)
- Which unlikely sounding name is a real place in Great Britain? (2 options)
