heh…. question set #1 implies you already know a lot about Boom Blox. Is it fair to someone who wants to win a copy of Wii Boom Blox to have expert knowledge of the game? I have been reading about Boom Blox, but don’t have it, and have never seen it played. Aside from living in the US and being ineligible, there’s no way I could judge the existing game (never seen it) well enough to come up with expansion pieces…

Tipa I don’t agree.the competition questions have 1 generic easy to find question via google with the 2nd involving a bit of thought. All someone need do is use wiki to discover the other blox in the game and watch a few youtube videos of gameplay. If I were to pander to the lowest denominator then it wouldn’t be a competition but more a google search farce.

Well, it’s your contest, but I would have asked a question less dependent on knowledge of a game never played (quick, for a chess set, and given you have never played chess before, solve this interesting end-game position in three moves). Maybe something like, name three ways life would be different if the real world were made from Boom Blox.
June 26, 2008 at 6:22 pm
Blox are the main game mechanic in the game.For someone to come up with a new type would not need indepth knowledge at all.
Example: a blox that chips slowly away rather than falls down when hit.
That is all the question demands as a possible answer. I think the question in the other set is harder to judge but you can see there’s answers to that already.
Boom Blox had bad sales compared with expectation so I feared there may not be many interested in winning that game but like I said these games donated by EA. I had no choice of titles I received.

Question set #1
1. 25th year
2. A blox that gets bigger each time you hit it meaning you had to avoid them rather than go after them

Question set 1:
1. 25th year
2. Never played the game, had to read up on it to have any clue at all so maybe this already exists, but how about a block that changes all the blocks with negative points values to positive, and vice versa?

I don’t own a Wii and all I know about Boomblox was garnered from EA’s promotional video but nevertheless here goes
Boomblox competition:
Q1: 25 Years
Q2: A “Hydra Block” when you hit it it divides into two blocks. The new blocks flash for a limited time and if you hit them while they are flashing they disappear. After a short while however the flashing stops and the new blocks turn into Hydra Blocks themselves. Of course a player who is too slow will end up with an exponentially increasing number of Hydra blocks so some limit is probably required. Perhaps a simple cap on the total number of hydra block will suffice – no new hydra block will be formed if there are more than “n” hydra blocks already on the map.
I am afraid my knowledge of soccer is woefully limited so I will pass on the 2nd comppettion
