Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the three word name of this video game, given to you in Fractured Word form? Soup Purr Mare Re Hole Lent

Answer: Super Mario Land

"Super Mario Land" was released in 1989 for the launch of Nintendo's Game Boy handheld game console. Players must take Mario through twelve different levels, and, as he does so, he jumps across different platforms to avoid all the lurking pitfalls.

Answer break down: Soup Purr equals Super; Mare Re is the first part of Mario's name; Hole Lent finishes off his name and adds Land. Soup Purr - Mare Re Hole - Lent becomes "Super Mario Land".
2. Can you work out this one word video game given to you in Rebus form? Vietnamese Lunar New Year + The Initial of the surname of the 26th US President + a verb meaning "To be"

Answer: Tetris

"Tetris" was released in 1984. Designed for either single or multi players, it was created in Russia and became the first entertainment software from that nation to be sent to the United States. Do you think they checked it for spying devices first? This game is described as having a tile-matching format.

Answer break down: The Vietnamese Lunar New Year is TET; the surname of the 26th US President (Roosevelt) begins with R; A verb meaning "To be" is "IS" - put them together and you have "Tetris".
3. The vowels have been removed from this three word video game. Can you add them back into the clue below to give you the overall answer? Snc th Hdghg

Answer: Sonic The Hedgehog

"Sonic the Hedgehog", also known as Sonic 1, was released in the United States in 1991. The storyline is based around the heroic Sonic attempting to defeat the evil Doctor Robotnik who has captured and locked animals inside metal containers and robots, while he attempts to steal six powerful Chaos Emeralds.

Answer break down: Adding the vowels O,I,E,E,E,O to Snc Th Hdghg results in "Sonic the Hedgehog".
4. Woof, what is this anagrammed one word video game? INN NET GODS

Answer: Nintendogs

"Nintendogs", developed of course by Nintendo, was released in Japan in 2005. Players can pet their dogs, play with them, teach them tricks, talk them for walks in a park, take them to various dog contests and trials, and buy toys for them as they work through the screens. If wished, they can also play with other players as well. Perfect for a dog lover.

Answer break down: The above INN NET GODS, is an anagram of "Nintendogs". The "Woof" at the beginning of the questions was an extra hint.
5. This two word video game has been given to you in Rebus form. Can you add the answer to each clue below together to give you the overall answer? The grey matter in our head + What people do to wine to improve its quality

Answer: Brain Age

"Brain Age" is also known as Dr Kawashima's Brain Training. It was initially released in 2005 by Nintendo, along with its subtitle of Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day, but is just commonly referred to as Brain Age. This game, which is an excellent idea, features different sections, each one of which aims to keep a certain part of the brain working at peak efficiency.

Answer break down: The grey matter in our head is a common term to describe the amazing BRAIN, which is filled with all kinds of squishy grey material; and people AGE wine to allow it to mature and enhance the flavour. Put them together and you have "Brain Age".
6. What is the name of this one-word video game, given to you in Fractured Word form? Limb Minks

Answer: Lemmings

"Lemmings" was created by DMA Designs in Scotland and released in 1991. The object of the game is to save a certain number of the lemmings at each obstacle along the way by using different skills assigned to selected lemmings, before they fall off the edge, or into lava and other grim fates. This game would make me super anxious if I played it!

Answer break down: By saying the word "Limb" aloud, you have a sound similar to "Lem"; and repeating the procedure with "Minks" gives you a sound similar to "Mings". Limb Minks then becomes "Lemmings".
7. Can you work out this two word video game given to you in Rebus form? Definite article + A book by F. Paul Wilson about genetically modified chimpanzees

Answer: The Sims

"The Sims" was developed by Maxis and released in 2000. It is described as a daily simulation game based around the lives of people living in a suburban home. This game, which initially doesn't sound very exciting, allows the player to manipulate the characters, and the assorted situations they could face every day, to his or her heart's content. I think this game could perhaps be helpful for children who have come from very troubled homes to allow them to see what a "normal" life could be and to merge with that life from a secure distance while maintaining control of each situation.

Break down of answer: "THE" is known as the definite article; "SIMS" is the name of a novel by F.Paul Wilson about genetically modified - and fanciful - chimpanzees, that have been bred with humans. Put them together and you have "The Sims". Have a banana while you're at it.
8. Four vowels have been removed from this one word Video Game. Can you add them back into the clue below to give you the overall answer? TRRR

Answer: Terraria

The action and adventure video game "Terraria" was created by Re-Logic and released for Windows in 2011. It's built around exploring, developing a new environment, and battling to protect it from creepy enemies such as blobs, flying eyeballs and savage skeletons. Kind of like your average supermarket shopping day. Players then populate their creations with characters of their choice.

Answer break down: Adding in the vowels E,A,I,A into T_rr_r__ gives you "Terraria", the name of this video game.
9. What is this one word video game given to you in Rebus form? Amphibian that croaks + Britain's Great Eastern Railway, initially speaking

Answer: Frogger

"Frogger" started out as a video arcade game in 1981, and could even be considered a noble ancestor of video games. By 2005, its home version had sold more than twenty millions copies all around the world. The object of the game is to get frogs across a very busy road, several lanes wide, by ducking and weaving past fiendishly speeding vehicles determined to squash them flat. If any of the frogs manage to survive that, they next have to navigate their way across a perilous river filled with alligators and such. Remember the character George from "Seinfeld" and how he tried to save his top "Frogger" score as the machine that he achieved it on was being moved? He was hopping mad when a truck hit it.

Answer break down: A FROG is an amphibian that croaks; and, initially speaking, Britain's Great Eastern Highway is GER. Put them together and you have "Frogger".
10. This word plus number video game has been given to you in other words. Just work out the required answer for each section, and add together for your overall answer. The International Federation of Association Football + The legal voting age in Australia
