Combining games with a thirst for knowledge? Educational researchers have long known that knowledge acquired through play is stored in the long-term memory more quickly – and this doesn’t just to children and adolescents. That’s why the German Museum of Books and Writing will be inviting visitors to come and play museum bingo. Bingo is a classic game for the whole family. Five correct numbers in a row – bingo, you’ve won! But take care, we won’t make it that easy for you. First you have to score points in a quiz that will test your knowledge of the history of books and media, the museum and the library. The winner will receive an attractive prize, while everyone else will have a great time and share in the suspense. What’s more, you always know better after the event. Museum bingo can be played by anyone. Bring your whole family and spend some quality time together. We play (and share knowledge) once a month on Wednesdays from 17:00.
