  • Worth it

    Well executed game that manages to combine trivia and a board game. The app is great, although sometimes the transitions are unnecessarily slow. The game is British-centric (beware Americans, football refers to soccer in this one), but relatively accessible to all. Minus a star because you have to buy add-ons to actually get your use of the game. Not a big deal since they’re only 2 bucks each, but I’d feel a lot better if they would give us a couple of sets for that price, or each set had significantly more questions included.
  • Great for variety of ages!

    This is a fun game! A variety of each people can play it at the same time! It is cool that you can play with people who aren’t in the same room with you. our only complaint is that we felt unsure of whether we needed to use the board at the same time we use the board on the device, and the game board is a bit small if you play it on an iPhone. it would be nice if you could cast to a larger TV for a group of people. otherwise it’s great and it’s awesome that you can purchase additional bundles of questions.
  • Winners incorrectly indicated

    I got this game for my husband for Christmas and we have loved it. The standard question categories are great and we have purchased several more. We have noticed that the last three games we have played the game incorrectly noted the winner. When I win, it indicates he is the winner and vice versa. I’m not sure what’s wrong and I’m hoping the developers of the app will address this soon
  • Great game

    This game is super fun and has a lot of add on’s but my only issue is is with the “answer 3 questions in a minute” on the final round. It isn’t truly answering them in one minute. You get one right and it stays if you get another wrong. It’s just answer 3 questions correct to win but not in a timely fashion like how it should be. This isn’t a huge issue but fixing that would make the game 10x better:)
  • Really unfair trivia

    The concept is fun and all and while the questions range from extremely difficult and precise to generally easy, the power up distribution is completely flawed and promotes an unfair advantage. For example, one of my opponents skipped a question and was somehow rewarded with +3 power ups for seemingly no reason. Additionally, several times during the game my opponents will receive power ups without even answering a question first. The power ups need fixing and it will be better in the long run.
  • Amazing

    Just when I have 1 min left the loading screen takes to long the kids version is way to easy everyone said I was cheating but teen is to hard by the way I’m ten but it’s amazing it’s my fav game I got it for. Xmas and eversense then I played it everyday lol just kinda takes forever and we need more questions in each category because I played it for 4 days and new every answer so we had to BUY more so yea my dad did not like buying them but I memorized the answers normally I do so yeah and even my brother did he never memorized everything before so have a fantastic day thanks for reading oh and the you win or lose thing is kinda rigged like everyone gets “GO TO ANY RING” when they have 1 ring left till the final round

    Note from me
    It’s not bad just needs a bit of a fix
  • A lot of fun

    I got this for Christmas and my family and I have all loved playing it. It's like Trivial Pursuit but I think it's even better because it eliminates the need to have another player read the questions to you, resulting in a much faster game. Something strange did happen once where one player won the game by answering the third "final round" question correctly but the game announced a different player as the winner. Also, a minor detail, but when one chooses to skip a question, it would be nice for the game to tell us what the answer is before moving on. Often I'll skip a question because I don’t want to risk getting it wrong but I'd still like to know what the right answer is.
  • App leaves a lot to be desired

    The app leaves a lot to be desired:

    1) The host cannot use the virtual game board. So the person who likely knows the rules the best can’t visually show the other players how to play.

    2) Remote players are allowed to select categories without rolling or moving around the game board. It leads to outright cheating as remote players can choose only the categories they like or go even further and only select Ring Questions to win the game in 6 questions or so.

    The game should automatically move their game piece around the board and select the corresponding category for the players to avoid this obvious flaw. It made the game unusable unless the players are physically present.

    3) The voice chat function doesn’t work.

    4) More playing pieces would be nice. My family is African American so we all want the one black token piece to choose but we all can’t be George Washington Carver.
  • No sound, very UK centric

    We bought this game two months ago, and played it right away. Although we had questions that seemed very UK centric (we selected US as our country), our sound worked fine, and it was pretty fun!

    However, second time playing tonight and no matter what we do, the sound won’t work. We’ve checked volumes on our phones, sound on our TV, switched devices, uninstalled/reinstalled the game - nothing. So, when the question “What song is this?” comes up, it’s a little challenging! Hopefully it’s an update issue that’ll be fixed soon?!?!
  • Crazy.

    This is works as fantastic entertainment to indulge in with one’s comrades. Tata. However, the fact that they gave animated films it’s own category instead of literature is a absolutely garbage decision. Don’t go to the lowest common denominator you illiterate swine.
