<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Non-Trivial Quest is an award-winning family and educational board
game for ages 10-110 with 2-8 players or teams.
It is fun and easy to play and is the flip side of trivia, or about all
of the important things that you need to know in life. This game demonstrates
how we can make thinking and learning fun and interesting about the important
things that we need to know in life today.

<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-4652879723160556329" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 570px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Non-Trivia Quest™ (previously Non-Trivial Quest) is a family, party, and educational board game that needs your support to launch our next version under the new name. We are being forced to change the name of our game due to a trademark opposition from Hasbro. We also want to develop the game into an interactive Internet cloud computing program for cross-platform multi-player use. Then depending on the amount received from the Kickstarter we will also develop special apps for social media like Facebook and Twitter, then mobile apps for Android, Blackberry, and IOS (i-product) platforms. <o:p></o:p></span><br /><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">NON-TRIVIA QUEST is an important and different kind of game that deserves you support and backing. It is the opposite of trivia and about all of the important things in life that we need to know in today's world. The game is easy to play and utilizes real life common sense things that we all can use in our every day lives. It challenges our knowledge of what we should know and teaches us what we need to know, while making it fun, interesting, and stimulates conversation about the subjects. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">This game can be the next big game like Trivial Pursuit, and can be even bigger because of a broader market appeal including the educational markets as well as for family, party, and social gaming. The goal of the game is<span style="color: black;"> to make learning fun and relevant to life today, with the vision is to make a difference and create interest and conversation in useful and important things that we all need to know today. </span>The original board game was first introduced in 2011 at trade shows where it was<span style="color: black;"> well received and has great reviews and awards including <b>10 Best Games of 2011</b> by Dr. Toy. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Our future product roadmaps for the brand and franchise include multi-language products for domestic and international markets in DVDs, electronic devices, E-book media, plus develop versions for specific demographics, ages, and markets including education and home schooling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">

<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">We will be offering great rewards for your pledging of funds as a backer.
