RULES OF THE GAME:

Three teams of arbitrary size take part in the game. The audience may include the players' classmates, their parents, friends and acquaintances. A week before it is held, the teacher introduces the players to the quiz grid and the topics of reserve questions, provides the necessary explanations and a list of recommended literature. Before the start of the game, the teams play out the right to choose the starting line, performing the same task for a while, which will be further called preliminary. The team that correctly completes this task before others starts the game first. The teacher reads the question out loud to the audience and gives the team a card with it written down. The “starting” question consists of two parts: the main one and an additional one, which is asked in case of an incorrect answer to the main one (after the opponents’ move). Having answered this question correctly, the team, after the opponents’ move, chooses the topic of the next one, using the arrows. If the answer is incorrect, the team returns to the starting position and, after the opponents move, tries to answer another question. The team that incorrectly answers all the questions that it has the right to choose from the index is eliminated from the game. In the event that one of the teams chooses the path to a question that their opponents answered correctly, they should use one of the reserve questions below, or one of the questions that cannot be returned to. The first team to answer one of the three “finish line” questions wins.

During the game, teams are allowed to use geographical maps.

For convenience and clarity, you can use chips different color, using the quiz layout as a playing field.
