Three sets
Inventions · set 1 (20 questions), Inventions · set 2 (20 questions), Inventions · set 3 (10 questions). A game asks ten questions; the twenty-question sets keep ten in reserve, and the short set borrows its reserves from the rest of the pack. Play again in the same room moves on to the next set.
Checked answers
Each answer was checked against at least two independent sources, such as Lemelson-MIT Program, US Patent Office via Google Patents, National Inventors Hall of Fame, Store norske leksikon, Science History Institute, Smithsonian Magazine. The question wording and explanations are original, written for Couch Club. Nothing that goes out of date: no current record holders, prices or rankings.
No question list here on purpose: the questions stay on our server and reach the phones one at a time, so the answers can’t be read in advance.
