The popular scientific game show Hoe?Zo! is one of the most-watched TV programmes in the Netherlands.

An important component of this game show is the famous guests who, led by presenter Bart Peeters, conduct empirical experiments to find the answers to scientific questions, such as:

‘Why do people who are lost in the desert walk in circles?’  

‘How do you survive an avalanche?’

‘How do Newton’s laws work?’

Viral games are an ideal way to have a message reach a wide public. Visitors to the website play the game, and invite their friends and family to play the game themselves.

Teleac  Dutch Educational Broadcasting (NPO)  

Popular quiz programme for young people with zany, exciting and absurd films.

 All questions in the quiz are at the level of the CITO test (the post-primary school selection test). Spelpartners.com modelled this card game on the television show, giving parents and children the opportunity to practice the material in a fun manner. The game is given away as part of the show, but can also be purchased in stores.

The multiple-choice questions are on the front of the cards, and it is easy to check whether you have a row of correct answers – turn the cards over, and if your answers are correct, the name of the programme ‘Zeker Weten!’ will appear in a legible sequence:  

A fun and educational trivia game ideal for use in various fields of knowledge.
Suitable for ages 11 – adult.

A special promotional gift to commemorate 20 years of the Municipal Ombudsman. This set of cards makes playful reference to the requirements for reasonable conduct (i.e. standards) that the ombudsman uses to work and conduct assessments.

Complex legal concepts have been translated into imaginary products reminiscent of the world of TelSell and Amazing Discoveries: 

This playful approach, with its slightly tongue-in-cheek perspective, is intended to arouse curiosity. The concrete information on the reverse side of the card serves as a reference guide, and explains the standards in more detail. These standards provide a good understanding of the demands made on the public official, who deals with citizens with a service-oriented approach. 

And of course the game component has not been forgotten: the kit contains a number of cases for the ombudsman which people can use as practice material. The report reference numbers on the cards allow people to check online which of the standards the ombudsman applied when assessing the each case.
