Which one suits you?

Quiz Night

The question on the TV, four big answer buttons on your phone, 20 seconds on the clock. Fast correct answers score more, streaks earn a bonus – and the leaderboard after each question shows who’s catching up.

Pick Quiz Night when you want to test each other’s knowledge in about ten minutes.

Five Dice

Five dice, three rolls, thirteen boxes on the score sheet: every turn is a small choice between playing safe and taking a risk. The sheet adds itself up, bonus and extra five-of-a-kinds included.

Pick Five Dice when you want a laid-back dice game where kids can keep up.
