(A max of 75 smoochies or hugs is possible)
This can also be
a "Love, Romance & Relationship" Trivia Game
(besides the Kisses & Hugs)
since there isn't too much information on Valentines Day. I decided to create
this for either a fun, on-line interactive learning experience; or, to help
give our visitors a little Valentine present as well as some information to
start a conversation up with the opposite sex sometime.
After each question, there is the answer arrow that looks like this: All you do is place your mouse over the "answer" and it will appear and see if you were right.
If using a smart phone to view these pages, just put your finger on the symbol and hold it for a moment. A pop up that contains the answer will appear. To close the pop up, just tap elsewhere on the screen.
It is not a Link button! Just
place your mouse over it.
(Answer should appear in
a few seconds)
If you want to play this as the "Smoochies & Hugs" game too, here are the alternate rules:
When you get done with the quiz, I'll tell you what to do next.
All answers are embedded text over the Answer button gif.
