What teachers are saying about the game

"My name is Marquita Curry, and I'm the assistant principal at a charter school on the west side of Chicago. My students had the opportunity to play Byron's game the last week of school, and they absolutely love it. Some of my third-grade teachers tried out the game with groups of their students and the students loved it. They said they learned so much and that they could not wait to learn more about some of the continents and countries that they were introduced to in the game. They also were really excited that a kid their age created the game. They thought that was so cool. And they wanted to know what other games of Byron's that they could try!"
Marquita Curry, Assistant Principal, Chicago Public Schools

"I am a second-grade teacher, and I’m also a parent to two school-aged boys, ages seven and eight. I played the game with six second grade students. Once the children picked up their country cards, they quickly realized that the countries’ cards were color-coded to match the continent that they were in. As an educator, this is an amazing feature to this game, and it allows younger kids the ability to play the game; it's accessible to them as well. Those children who need it a little bit harder also had the opportunity to do something that’s a bit more of a challenge to push them.
I would highly recommend Continent Race to both families and teachers. As a mom, this is on the top of our family game night list, and as a teacher this is definitely going to be integrated into my geography unit to help supplement that unit. I also will use this game to promote cooperative learning. I hope that you will enjoy the game as much as I did and my kids did and my students did."
Adrienne Ward, 2nd Grade Teacher, Chicago Public Schools

"What I really enjoyed about playing the game with younger children was the fact that the cards and continents are color-coded, so that made it so much easier for me as a teacher to help the younger children figure out which color they would need or which continent they would need. The great thing about the game is that immediately the children were learning so much about the country names and the continent names. Lots of repetitive vocabulary is a key way to get that knowledge to stick.
So I really enjoyed playing the game, the kids really enjoyed playing the game, [they] had a great time, [and] wanted to keep on playing as long as they could, and that was great—even children at seven years of age can do that. And that's very reassuring for those of you out there who maybe have a family with younger and older children. There are ways of making it even more difficult for the older children and also you could play with the younger kids as well, and it's a great family game, so if you haven't done so already, get out there, buy the game, and enjoy it."
​Andy Smith, Primary School Teacher and Owner of Andy’s Hub, Chicago

What adults are saying about the game:

"Continent Race has become a family favorite game in our household. My husband and I are absolutely thrilled that our 10-year-old daughter and our eight-year-old son absolutely love playing the game. Through playing, they have learned not only the countries and the continents but how to pronounce them. We also love the backstory of how this game was created."
~ Debbie G.

"It's terrific for the kids, it's educational, lots of fun! They will really enjoy it. But I'm here to tell you, you will enjoy it as well. It's a great adult board game, and you get to learn about places on this globe that, well, I for one didn't even know existed. It’s a great vacation planner as well. So if you can get it away from the kids for your adult party night, I suggest you do that. You'll enjoy it as well." 
~ Joe B.

"We had such a good time playing Byron's geography game. Everybody enjoyed it in different ways. It just was a lot of fun but we were all learning, and the boys really liked that it helped them to pronounce the different countries. Of course, they like the challenge round and had a good time trying to name all the countries that you could within the continent. It was pretty great to be able to do something educational while you were having a good time. It was really a lot of fun. Can’t wait to play it some more!"
