An oddball “adult” trivia game that hits you with a barrage of relationship- and sex-themed questions, seemingly somewhat biased to 1950s-1970s US cultural knowledge (kinda like the “age checks” at the start of the older Leisure Suit Larry games). The twist is that the questions all have numerical answers and you get a percentage score based on how close you were to the actual number, then factored into your ongoing percentage to confuse you. Anyway, my favorite question I’ve seen so far is “How much was Napoleon’s penis sold for.”
You can technically play it solo, though it seems rather pointless other than to score attack your own past performances. The focus was obviously on multiplayer, probably for giggly couples or swingin’ get-togethers to get worked up in a not-so-explicit way.
It isn’t gonna perform for long, though, at least from my random sampling of the question base. It really seems pretty small, in my first-ever game I already saw a couple questions repeat, and then in a couple further games I saw a bunch of them repeat. There are seven categories to choose from, but each seems to have a similarly limited amount. The only reason that doesn’t ruin things is that it doesn’t give you the correct answer, you have to still do some triangulating if you don’t guess right or very close to it.
As far as the “adult content” goes … honestly I don’t think there is any. Can’t find any online and I never ran into any myself. It’s mostly in the annals of Plumflower for its name (where else am I gonna put this) and the sometimes sorta-explicit questions it asks.
