This Boardgame from the 1900s was based on a radio quiz program, hosted by Jim McWilliams. The show was called Uncle Jim's Question Bee and began on the Blue Network in 1936 and continued until 1941. The program collected questions from listeners on the radio. Then, three men and three women were chosen from the audience by the show's publicist, Adele Wesley, to become the contestants competing for the $25 prize money. This show also produced another game, Uncle Jim's Question Bee Quiz, a Q&A Book. The game includes the sand timer, the box of scoring tokens, 6 score pads, the instructions, and the 4 question decks.
