Bezzerwizzer is a trivia game based on answering questions belonging to a number of categories drawn at the beginning of the game. The game was invented in 2006 by the Dane Jesper Bülow. The game's name is a pun on "Besserwisser", a German term meaning "better knowing" or a "know-it-all".[1]
Bezzerwizzer Nordic, the publisher of the Bezzerwizzer board games, was founded in Denmark in 2006. Since then, the company has published numerous quiz and party games, selling nearly 4 million games by 2021
Bezzerwizzer was first published in Denmark in 2006. In 2007, the game was launched in Germany in association with Mattel, and in 2008 Bezzerwizzer Nordic released the game in Sweden and Norway.[1] Mattel has released versions for the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the United States. Bezzerwizzer Nordic has also launched the game in Finland, The Netherlands and Belgium. In Spain, the company Falomir Juegos released the Spanish version in 2016.
