About the game
A six-category quiz board. Pick a tile, answer, and wager on the hidden Sparks. Two boards and a final Last Light round.
Tallywick is a quiz board for the seatback. Six categories, five clues each, rising in value. Answer correctly and the tile's value is added to your score; answer wrongly and it is subtracted. Let the clock run out and you simply lose the clue.
Hidden among the tiles are Sparks — before you see the clue you set your own wager, from 100 up to your score or the top value on the board, whichever is larger. Clear the first board and the second doubles every value. Finish with a positive score and you reach Last Light, a single final clue on which you may stake anything up to everything you have.
Two ways to answer: pick from four options, or reveal the answer and mark yourself honestly. Build your own quiz in the Quiz Builder and play it, or adjust the board in Board Setup. Eleven languages. No network of any kind.
How to play
- Pick any tile on the board. Higher rows are worth more.
- Answer correctly to add the tile's value. A wrong answer subtracts it.
- Hidden Sparks let you wager before you answer.
- Clear both boards (the second doubles every value and asks harder clues), then wager once more on the Last Light clue.
