Although you know very well that curiosity killed the cat, you just can’t help yourself wondering what kind of music your friend has on its iPod and likes to listen to every single day. You’ve caught him lots of times humming songs you didn’t quite recognize and smiling, but you didn’t have the chance to take a short look at his playlist.

Let me introduce you the iNo Quiz Game, which might become just what the doctor ordered for you, in order to discover what you’ve always wanted to know. Specifically designed for iPod owners, this brilliant party game/speaker dock transforms your not-so-humble player into a fast and furious interactive music quiz. The only thing you are supposed to do it to pop the iPod in the sphere, set it to shuffle, grab one of the wireless remotes and let battle commence. Don’t forget about your musical knowledge you used to brag about and play that music for once!



This is one hell of a device, I must confess, as it’s a sociable way for people to get involved with their people and their friends. The gameplay is pretty obvious, but let’s explain how it works. The first player selects an iNo playing card and tells opponents what element of the song they must identify: title, artist, album and so on. If you know the answer, you must hit the remote and the indicator will show who hit the button the quickest. You’ll know, don’t worry, because each player has their own color-coded scoreboard. Therefore, the first person to buzz in pauses the song. If you answer correctly, you’ll score not only as far as the points are concerned, but also your ego. Otherwise, some of the points you’ve won so far will be deducted and you’ll be the talk of the town. Ok, of your friends only, as long as they’ll be quiet and won’t share your secret with anyone. The player with the most points wins. It’s easy, isn’t it?



Don’t expect much of this game and you won’t be disappointed! For the only reason that you won’t be winning anything else besides finding out what tunes are hidden deep inside your friend’s iPod. But then, this might be enough, if you think about it! I bet you wouldn’t have thought he’s a huge fan of Celine Dion, but you know how they say: all good things must come to an end, even if we’re talking about an apparently indestructible image your friend had so far.

I’m not sure how well this would work with people who have very random music on their iPods, but it’s a nice way of sharing your tunes with friends and laughing at the tough guy with the guy with the Jungle Book soundtrack.

Battery-operated with color-coded LED scoreboards, iNo it’s ideal for music lovers. Not to mention the fact that the device doubles up as a pretty decent speaker. You can now choose from black or white colors, from www.firebox.com, and either model is going for £59.95 (approximately $101.60). Unfortunately, the former is out of stock at this point in time.
