Development

Amanita Design developed Questionaut on BBC's commission. Amanita Design received questions that were to be included in the game and request for it to be set in different environments but developers otherwise had creative freedom.[4]

Gameplay

Players control an aeronaut who tries to get with his balloon as high as possible to get a hat which belongs to his friend Vodník. But the balloon loses its air and the aeronaut has to land on levitating planets. There are creatures on these planets who are specialized in some way (English language, Mathematics, Chemistry etc.). Player has to solve a simple problem and then answer questions from the subject in which is the creature living on the planet specialized. Each of questions has 3 possibilities. When player chooses the right answer, balloon gets some air but if he chooses wrong the balloon loses its air. When the player gets enough air the balloon gets him on higher planet.
