About the game

What you do in a play session

Quizzard is a classic trivia game that puts speed at the heart of the fun, using an electronic buzzer to decide who gets to answer first. Up to six players line up with their own units, each featuring a button that, when pressed, triggers their response. But watch out: answering fast is great, but answering wrong can cost points, so the strategy is to know the answer before hitting the button. The game comes with a book of questions organized into three levels—Champion, Master, and Wizard—and nine rule variations that let you tweak difficulty and pace. Options include Fast Hands, which rewards quickness; Strategy, where the system decides who answers; and Countdown, which adds a time limit for each answer. Powered by four AA batteries, the device has a built-in score tracker, keeping everything in one compact block. In under thirty minutes, Quizzard delivers an electronic competition experience that blends knowledge, speed, and a touch of tech that still feels futuristic. If you enjoy being the first to buzz in and don’t mind losing a few points for wrong answers, this game is for you!
