Questionary is setting new standards of entertainment in the board games arena. Every player has vouched of never having had so much fun before. The concept is simple: A team has to guess a word in 90 seconds by asking as many questions as they wish. But answers can be only "Yes" or "No." Passionate involvement of all rather than performance of one sets this game apart. And the aspect that will appeal to specialty retailers? This attractive boardgame is simple to play, generates outrageous fun, and promotes strategic thinking. Spark Games provide “extreme fun for all. Even shy people love to play again and again,” the company’s Arun Pandey told TDmonthly. This product received a 2006 Preferred Choice Award from Creative Child Magazine.
