Questique
is anducational
word game --- ideal aid for teaching English language: "Questique
is a strategy crossword board game that can be played in a home, school
or further educational environment. Rare amongst skill based games, it is
suitable for children, families and adults. Play is possible from elementary
to advanced levels. A simple handicapping system allows players of mixed
abilities to all compete as equals. This could even be a highly educated
language teacher and a below average ability child of eight! It is an excellent
language teaching aid, especially in relation to spelling and vocabulary
development. The game includes many options, one of these being "fast
play". This is ideal for active minds and impatient players of all
ages --- no need for an egg timer here to keep the game moving! Questique
is fun, challenging and educational and can be played solo or by up to four
players." David J English

Be sure to use the quotation marks as this narrows down the entries and picks
only those exact worded entries. (Boolean
