Patriot Challenge was created by former sales and marketing executive, Christine Nelson.
"The idea for the game was originally developed for my annual Super Bowl Party," she explains.
"Each year I create a game for those who may not be interested in watching football but enjoy coming to the party.
Previous games have included Famous People from the 20th Century and The Election Game.
After the events of September 11, my 2002 party game was based on questions and answers contained in the book,
How To Prepare for the U.S. Citizenship Test. It contained the basic knowledge that all immigrants need
to know to become an American citizen and, needless to say, all of us should know as well."
Nelson's friends loved the game so much that they suggested she think about developing it for mass appeal.
"Being a game enthusiast," says Nelson, "I took on the challenge and two weeks later had developed my party game
into a board game."
Since that time, Nelson has worked with classroom educators from elementary school to college-level to develop
the final Patriot Challenge game. "My focus with Patriot Challenge has always been on having fun and learning
something along the way," says Nelson. "While I was not a history buff before I conceived the game, developing
it has given me a greater appreciation for our country, our system of government, and the freedoms we enjoy.
If that happens for those who play the game, it will be my contribution to making a difference."
