Question

Who created the game marco polo? Where does it originate from?

Answer 1

Marco Polo was Italian, first off,  and second, while the game was probably named after the person, nobody knows for sure.  The legend is that when Marco Polo reached a new land, he would yell out "Marco," and if a friendly person heard, he would reply "polo."  Nobody knows for sure though.

Answer 2

I learned about this in 5th grade history last year! Marco Polo was a man from England. He was an explorer. He was always exploring the waters. So thats where the name came from, and thats why its in the water, but why they even made the game, or why our eyes are closed, i have no idea! :)
