Twee voor Twaalf
as a team game
Word and logic puzzles that teams can take their time over, with earned letters that together form one word at the end.
How the Twee voor Twaalf game is structured
The Twee voor Twaalf game consists of rounds in which teams solve puzzles and earn letters. At the end, those letters together form one word, and the first team to see that word wins the evening. This keeps the result open until the last minute, even for a team that was behind along the way.
This is our own game format, inspired by the well-known television format. We hold no licence for it and are not affiliated with the broadcaster or the producer.
- Puzzles we write ourselves, with thinking time per round
- Teams of four to six people at a table
- Letters that lead to one shared final puzzle
- Lasts two to two and a half hours, including a break
When a calmer game format works better
A calmer game format works better for groups where ages and energy levels are far apart. A programme with a lot of movement and pace makes part of such a group drop out, whereas puzzling at a table puts everyone on an equal footing. The same goes for groups where people still need to get to know each other: at a table with a puzzle, conversation starts by itself.
If you want movement instead, the Ren je Rot game is the opposite: there, participants physically run to their answer. And if you want a classic quiz evening with a quizmaster and answer sheets, take a look at the pub quiz.
What we bring and what you arrange
We bring the puzzles, the presentation materials, the sound and the scoring. You arrange a room with tables where teams can sit, power, and a view of a screen or wall we can project onto. If a projector is already installed, we'll use it.
We set up well before the start and take everything down afterwards, and that time doesn't count towards the length of the programme. If you don't have a suitable room yourselves, we'll make sure a venue is ready that suits the group.
A compact set-up starts at €195. After the first conversation you'll get a firm price.
The television programme this game format refers to is owned by its makers and the broadcaster. AvonturenEvents is not affiliated with them and holds no licence for it. We develop our own game format and only mention the title so it is clear what kind of game you can expect.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the official television programme?
No. This is AvonturenEvents' own game format, inspired by the well-known television format. We hold no licence for it and are not affiliated with the broadcaster or the producer. We write the puzzles and the questions ourselves.
Do you need to be good with language to take part?
Taking part in this game doesn't require a gift for language, because the puzzles are built around association and reasoning. We mix word questions with images, numbers and general knowledge, so that every team has someone who supplies that one missing piece. That is also why it works well in mixed groups.
How long does an evening with this format last?
Allow two to two and a half hours including a break. This format has a calmer pace than a quiz with lots of short questions, because teams need thinking time. It can be shorter, but then the build-up to the final puzzle is lost, and that is the moment the evening works towards.
Does it also work when people are eating?
This format combines well with a dinner, because the teams stay seated at their table and can keep puzzling between courses. We then spread the rounds over the courses. What does need to be fixed in advance is when the food arrives, otherwise the final puzzle lands in the middle of the main course.
