The game is set after the events of King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow as Prince Alexander and Princess Cassima sail from the Land of the Green Isles back to Daventry.

After my cousin bought the King's Quest: Collector's Edition, we found this trivia game bundled in with it. At the time, we had not played games 1-3, but we were very familiar with games 4-6, so always beat the game, just not in the best shape at the end. After playing a lot of the other King's Quest titles, my knowledge improved, and, by playing the trivia several times more, I was finally able to beat game without getting a single question wrong not too long after playing it.

Best Version: DOS
— This section contains spoilers! —
Good
- Thanks to the wealth of games available, the questions cover a lot of different topics.
- As is typical for Sierra, the graphics are pretty good, even for a mini game.
Bad
- With only 42 total questions, you'll probably see repeats during your second play-through.
- Some of the questions have such ridiculous multiple-choice answers that even someone unfamiliar with the game could get them right.
Ugly
- Nothing.
