Whickers World is a travel-themed trivia game from 1989 that takes you on a round-the-world race. Your mission is to move all four of your counters from your chosen location, around the globe, and safely back home. But it’s not just about luck on the dice – you’ll need to answer general knowledge questions correctly to get anywhere.
With a mix of trivia, tactics and the occasional dash of luck, this one’s a brilliant pick for quiz lovers and anyone who enjoys a game with a bit of strategy.
How to Play: Each player picks a location and takes four matching counters, placing them on their start circle. Players take turns answering questions and rolling the dice to move their counters around the board. You can only move if you answer the question correctly. Get it right, and you can roll and go again. Land on another player’s piece? They’re sent all the way back to their start. It’s a mix of knowledge and clever moves – and the first one to get all their pieces home wins!
There’s also a faster version of the game if you want a quicker play – just use fewer counters.
Why Rent This Game: If you enjoy trivia games but want something a bit more adventurous, Whickers World is a great choice. It’s ideal for family nights, travel lovers, or anyone who likes a bit of learning mixed with competitive fun. The 80s charm gives it a lovely nostalgic feel too – and let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a good globe-trotting challenge?
