QUOKKA Higher or Lower Trivia Card Game – 500+ Questions for Family Game Night

QUOKKA's Higher or Lower trivia card game is a family-friendly activity with over 500 questions covering history, geography, and science. This Version 2.0 update refines the experience for kids aged 8–12 and adults, offering easy-to-learn rules and fast-paced rounds that keep everyone engaged.

How to play

Shuffle the deck and deal five cards to each player. The player to the dealer's left picks a 'higher or lower' question from their top card. Everyone votes on whether the correct answer is higher or lower than the stated value. The questioner reveals the card: if the majority guessed right, they score a point. Play passes clockwise until someone reaches 10 points — the player with the most points at the end wins.

Who is this game for?

Designed for families, teens, and adults, this game bridges age gaps. Kids 8 and up can play alongside parents or older siblings, while the broad topic range keeps everyone challenged. The safety information notes it is not suitable for children under 5.

Why creativity trumps knowledge

You do not need to be a trivia expert to win. The game rewards creative thinking and intuition. Players who can make clever comparisons or think outside the box often outscore those with deep factual knowledge. This makes each round unpredictable and inclusive.

Compact and travel-friendly

Each card is designed for easy handling, and the whole deck fits neatly into a bag or backpack. Take it on vacations, road trips, or to a friend's house — the compact size means you can play anywhere, from a kitchen table to a picnic bench.

What makes the questions special?

Instead of simple fact recall, the game uses comparisons that spark conversation. For example: 'Is the number of stars in the Milky Way higher or lower than the number of grains of sand on a beach?'
