Educational knowledge game
Learning doesn't have to feel like homework. Discover how The University of Hard Knocks turns curiosity into entertainment with a game that rewards knowledge, strategy, and conversation.
What is TUOHK?
Welcome to The University of Hard Knocks, where luck, wit, and wisdom collide in the ultimate battle for degrees. TUOHK is a board game requiring knowledge, strategy and luck.
You'll collect degrees, dodge disastrous Tuee Reports, and race your way back to the University Hub to graduate. It's clever, competitive, and a little bit chaotic — just like real university life.
Features
Inside The University Of Hard Knocks
You don't need a PhD to play — just a sharp mind, a bit of luck, and a sense of humour.
TUOHK is a board game where strategy, chance, and cheeky professors decide your academic fate. Earn degrees, dodge disasters, and graduate before your rivals.
Even though TUOHK is Australian based, the questions are not Australian centric. TUOHK is an international university, and the questions explore global knowledge.
The Board Game
History, Geography, Science, Maths, Sports, Olympics, Technology, Entertainment, and General Knowledge. Get it right, earn your degree. Get it wrong, move on and try again.
The TUOHK App
Choose your level — Pass, Honours, or Hybrid — and let the game's appointed Dean or Tutors, Karen and Lee, deliver over 12,000 questions straight from the University vault.
Tuee Reports
Land on a Tuee Report space and anything can happen — you might earn a free degree, lose them all, or be sent on an unexpected detour across campus.
