Dad-Joke time! Welcome to our review of Papa’s quiz, a game about … quizzing with your friends and nothing about being a dad, to be honest. Time to dress up and party the roof of the house! Online and covid friendly or with some family members in your house – it’s all up to you!
Papa’s Quiz
Papa’s Quiz is a party game for 1-8 players. Use phones or tablets as controllers and compete in multiple question types, where the smartest and fastest player will be the last standing victor! And… that’s it. For a short and sweet quiz experience, Papa’s Quiz is a perfect example of how it can be done.
Create your avatar, which can be described as a mixture between Fall Guys & Among Us, and give it a fun name! Dress it up with creative clothes and use it to express your victories in the game. It even got victory dances straight lifted from Fortnite or whatever the kids are into nowadays.
Gameplay
Each game spans around five different rounds, in which you press buttons to pick a category of which you will answer questions. They range from simple things like ‘fruits’ to more complicated topics like philosophy. They even had a TikTok category, which I … skipped – since I’m old and not up to date on that kind of trend. It, however, gives everyone a fair chance at winning – something I always hated about playing Trivial Pursuit when I was a kid. The questions were always about stuff I didn’t grow up with – sure, nowadays we have the internet, so the information streams are much bigger, but you get the point.
Conclusion
To spice it all up, the game added a few rounds like ‘Steal the points’, in which you can abduct points from the other players, just like stealing stars in Mario Party. However, it does not take away the unpolished edges of Papa’s Quiz features. With a bit of booze in your system or with a group of friends, this game might be enjoyable – just like Jackbox; my experience with it, however, was a bit less fulfilling since COVID is still raging, and I couldn’t play it online with my friends (since they don’t own the game). Another criticism is maybe the English language, which makes it harder for children to play outside the native English countries (like the Netherlands).
