NuSickQuiz vs GeoCompass

The board is up, the songs are playing. You guess. Your phone is the buzzer — and none of your guests have to install anything. NuSickQuiz is a music quiz for the party. The iPhone or iPad shows the board and plays the songs; guests join by scanning a QR code with their phone. No app, no account, no sign-in. Everyone who came for the party is playing within half a minute. PLEASE NOTE: the app, its categories and its questions are in Norwegian. ON THE BIG SCREEN Put the game on the TV with Screen Mirroring or AirPlay. Without a TV, the iPhone or iPad is the screen. HOW YOU PLAY Every team gets its own board of categories. Exactly one tile on each board is golden and doubles the score. The quizmaster taps a tile for the team whose turn it is, the song plays, and the team buzzes the moment they recognise it. They say the answer out loud, and the quizmaster approves or rejects it from their own phone. The app holds no answer key — you do, around the table. THE FASTER YOU BUZZ, THE MORE IT IS WORTH The countdown decides what a tile pays: buzz early and it is worth up to double. With stealing switched on, the other teams can pounce during the last part of the countdown. YOU AGREE THE RULES BEFORE THE MATCH Before you start, you decide what kind of evening it is — stealing, timing, which categories can be drawn, and the rest. Same game, different temperature. NO APPLE MUSIC SUBSCRIPTION NEEDED The game uses Apple's own free previews of about 30 seconds. The device needs to be signed in to an Apple Account to look the songs up, but no Apple Music subscription is required to play. CATEGORIES, NOT ONE GENRE The app ships with a selection of categories, and more arrive with new content releases. Which categories can be drawn onto the boards is up to you, under KATEGORIER in the lobby. PRICE AND PURCHASES The app is a free download. A selection of categories is free; one purchase opens the rest, Large Pack - 1 Year: a year of everything for 299 kr, paid once, with every pack open — new ones published during the year included. It does not renew, and there is nothing to cancel. Buying it again while it runs adds a year. When the year is over, you keep the packs that existed then. Purchases go through the App Store. What is sold is the quiz — never the music, which is always Apple's free previews. Some categories in the screenshots are in packs sold in the app. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy policy: https://nusick.com/personvern WHAT YOU NEED An iPhone running iOS 17.0 or later, or an iPad running iPadOS 17.0 or later, signed in to an Apple Account. Guests only need a browser and the internet — any network, mobile data included. The quizmaster needs a phone of their own besides the one showing the board. nusick.com

GeoCompass is a geography game that teaches you where places are, not just what they're called. You start in a city. The next stop appears, and you have to figure out where it is. Answer, and a little plane flies you there. Then the next place is waiting. TWO WAYS TO PLAY North or south? – The easy mode. Is the next place north or south of where you are? Great for younger kids and quick rounds. Compass – The hard mode. Drag on the map to turn the compass needle towards the next place. The closer your bearing, the more points you get: 100 for a perfect aim, nothing if you're 90° off or more. THE WHOLE WORLD Play on the world map, on any continent, or inside a single country. More than 150 countries have a map of their own, from big ones like Brazil and India to small ones like Slovenia and Fiji. Every map has its own high score, so there's always another one to beat. MADE FOR LEARNING The map shows coastlines and borders but no names, so you can't just read the answer. After every round you see exactly where the place is and how far off you were. Ten rounds make a game, and every game visits new places. DETAILS • 3,600+ cities and places across every continent • Nine languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Swedish and Chinese • Works fully offline, no account needed • Simple enough for a six-year-old, still tricky for grown-ups Perfect for kids learning geography, for families on the sofa, and for anyone who wants to finally know which way Reykjavik is.
