The context & challenge
Why this project needed to exist.
The challenge
Translate a broad body of state history and culture into an accessible physical product that rewards both play and knowledge.
The objective
Help children, students and other players discover and remember Oyo State history through structured, social play.
The core concept
One pack supports two complementary experiences: matching-card play on the fronts and a numbered 50-question history quiz on the backs.
What informed the work
A foundation appropriate to the project.
The supplied physical product and manual verify the 52-card format, five regional shape families, Oyo map wild card, two play modes and Golden Jubilee context. The Nation independently reported the launch and educational purpose in July 2026.
