Now, the concept of Quizone was a relatively complicated one – so today you’re not going to be asked to run through a maze wearing a coloured jumpsuit, you’re just going to be tested with the questions that appeared in actual Quizone episodes. Sure, they’re designed for 9-11 year-olds, but you don’t have a crack team researching facts on the internet and encyclopedias to help you.
“Enter Quizone – the game played on many levels but there can be only one winning team.”
