I think it would be a lot of fun, if NTN had a game that showed a picture of something and asked a question about it. They could show a picture of Mount Rushmore, and ask, "What state is this in?", or put a picture of Rodin's "The Thinker" on the screen, and ask, "What is the name of this sculpture?"

Anybody have any thoughts on this idea?

p.s. I've never been to Mount Rushmore, but I have been to the Rodin Museum in Philadelphia. :lol:

It might work if your location uses flat screen TV's for trivia. Otherwise, sometimes photos can be difficult to identify.

When Sports IQ (original) worked, the visual round was fun. When it didn't load properly, there was a lot of frustration.

Sure, the technology is there. And visuals would just be more bells & whistles for the "target group". Trivia content (written) should always be the most important thing. But that will never scream "cool" to the "target group"

The old Passport game had lots of visuals. It can be done and was done.
