Learning about the cultural history about a particular country can sometimes be a dry experience, and if you need to do it for immigration reasons it can often feel stressful and even overwhelming. This is why playing board games, such as Explore Canada, is such a great way to turn a challenging experience into something fun and memorable.
Explore Canada is a trivia game that takes players through Canada as they compete to advance the most spaces by answering questions related to Canadian life, culture, history, and language. Ideal gameplay consists of four to six people and can be enjoyed by both children (ages 9+) and adults, alike. Since it takes the trivia format, games can last anywhere from 20 to 60+ minutes, or until agreement is reached to end gameplay.
