National Geographic Challenge! is Risk with Global Trivia

Conquer the world from your sofa

by James Newton Thu 19th May 2011

So far, Buzz! The Ultimate Music Quiz has the Move quiz market all to itself, but that motion-controlled monopoly won't last long, as National Geographic Challenge! is on the way in June.

Taking a leaf out of Buzz!'s fondness for exclamation marks, National Geographic Challenge! is a Risk-style affair with players competing to conquer areas of the globe with their National Geographic-related knowledge. The game boasts over 4,000 questions about photos and videos plucked from the Nat Geo archives.

Somewhat bizarrely, the game was developed by Gusto Games, the team responsible for the rather good John Daly's ProStroke Golf.
