No Guessing! is a board game that first appears in "Arthur the Loser." Arthur buys it because of its very convincing TV advertisement. The game is played by rolling a die, moving a certain number of spaces, and answering trivia questions. The finish/winning point is a button in the middle with a large star on it; when pressed on, it makes a sound and the player raises their arms and yells, "I win!" The front cover depicts an owl wearing eyeglasses along with a mortarboard and wagging his finger.

The game questions vary in difficulty, some challenging and some easy. A few examples would be:

  • A scientist combined one liter of H2O and nine ounces of soil, what compound did he make? (answer: mud)
  • A baseball is covered in what material? (answer: cowhide)
  • What is the largest city in France? (answer: Paris)
  • What is the third planet from the sun? (answer: Earth)
  • A four-legged barking canine. (answer: dog)
  • The bread around the hot dog is the... (answer: bun)
  • The site of King Solomon's Mines (answer (possibly): present-day southern Africa)
    • Sue Ellen answered "Zimbabwe", which could be correct
  • How do you spell Cat? (answer: C-A-T)
  • What line goes around the Earth? (answer: equator)
  • A Basketball is filled with.... (answer: air)
  • How many points is a basket in basketball worth? (answer: 2 points)
  • What is the capital of Norway? (answer: Oslo)

There is also a montage in "Arthur the Loser" in which Arthur says random phrases (which were likely the answers), the questions are unknown:

  • Icing the puck
    • The question could possibly be: "What is the term for when a player shoots the puck from behind the center line across the opponent's goal line without it being touched?", as this is the definition of 'Icing the puck'[1]
  • A lobster
  • The Boston Red Sox
  • 1945
    • This question could be anything, but one plausible question could be: "In what year did World War II end?"
  • Dirt
