Played Whad'Ya Know at a convention, and the games we played went particularly well. The game includes the audience convincing the contestants to agree with them, and the interaction was both knowledgeable ("I took a naval survival course, and I know red worms don't taste like pork rinds") and humorous (Audience member: "I just picked an answer at random." Contestant: "That's not a good way to convince someone to agree with you."). I'm nicely surprised at how much variety there was in how we interacted. In the end, the most knowledgeable player did win ("Exactly how do you pronounce that pharaoh's name? Oh, him."), but it was a close game, and the social fun was terrific.

And you get to play with a bobble head!
