While the boxes of both Brain Quest for the Car and Brain Quest America both say ages 12 and up, they are as the description said applicable for kids ages 9 and up.
We have a card game that’s sort of similar, and my 9-year-old loves it. That’s the case with these cards, too. We’re excited to add these to the games we take with us camping.
Each card features six (America) or eight (Car) questions ranging from Who appoints justices to the Supreme Court? (America) to Which city built the first subway system in the US? (Car). The next card features the answers and all the cards are double sided.
The cards are hooked together at one end with a rivet that keeps everything together and in order.
These are both really fun sets that bring the family together. They’re perfect for vacations or family nights.
