Learn from Stefan Sagmeister, Debbie Millman, Steven Heller, Lita Talarico, TNOP, Jo Rocca, Satya Rajpurohit, and many more. Each game has 25 questions, with some bonus questions thrown in for good measure. Choose your answer from the multiple choice options. You have 30 seconds to choose an answer and win 3 points for the question. If the timer runs out, the score for this question drops to 2 points. If you use the Hint option (the asterisk at the bottom of the screen) the score for this question will drop to 1 point. Each question includes a short ‘Did you know?’ fact to help you learn more. To show off your DESIGNerd status, win as many points as possible over the 25 questions. The more you play, the more you learn. The more you learn, the more you know.
