  • A workin progress

    Keep developing. A lot of it makes no sense. We all get the question on our phones but only one person has the chance to answer? Why not have everyone answer and see who all gets it right? You can win assists but they are shared with all players? Using an assist removes it from everyone’s phone? It’s like we are all on the same team but not. What’s the point of even having a board? You should have some reward for making it around the board or something. I like that you’re trying to get people to interact in person but it could be so much better.
  • Great Game, Minor Annoyances

    Really enjoying this game with my grown kids. Just a few minor things… the colors on the board (three versions of yellow, orange, red are too close and don’t match the game exactly, making it hard to identify them. Also, the control machine (especially when using an iPad) would be really be nice if it showed a score and some other form of status instead of just mimicking what all of the players are looking at. Keep up the great work with keeping questions current.

  • Very fun game; iffy app

    UPdATE: the game seems to have gotten better on the app since I started using it. Once I switched devices the pictures load quicker and the slow to start game now is doing better. So I raise my original rating to 5 stars. Realize the app my be a bit glitchy at first. If so and your WiFi is fine, then try a different device. Really fun once it works well!

    Original review: I LOVE this game. Unfortunately the app has had several glitches that have been very frustrating. I still recommend the game as it is great fun to play, but know you may have to use it on a different device (played better on iPhone than on iPad for some reason). I ghave fiber optic internet so WiFi speeds extremely high but even so, on iPad it took time for images to show when answering a question so if I needed to answer the question, I had to pause the game until the image showed up. Also, it has been glitchy trying to get the game to start playing. Sometimes it gets into a “loop” of amsering setup questions and won’t let it start. So, be aware this may happen to you. Support was very nice, but they were unable to identify the issue so I just have to know I may have glitches in getting a game started.
  • Good but hard

    Well I love trivia so when I heard of this game I was like I need to get this! So me my brother and teacher where all playing. But it took us like thirty minutes to just get started. I also think they should come with paper cards to. So you do not always have to be on a device. Because some can afford a game just no phone or anything like that. So they could not play the game at all. And spent twenty dollars on something they could not play, and could of spent the money on food. But over all this is a good game! Try I!
  • Fun game, but confusing.

    This game is pretty fun and simple. The lack of physical pieces is a bit of a letdown, it’s VERY dependent on the online component. There are 0 physical instructions, and sometimes the disconnect between the board and the app made things difficult to understand. The instructions in the app are extremely minimal once you are playing the game. We had to look up instructions on a different device as to not cancel the game we were playing. Even a cheat sheet would have been helpful as a link in the app or a slip of paper in the game. Questions were a good mix of tough and simple, with a lot of range in between.
  • I wanted to like this.

    The people are cute. But, the play takes too much time. Before each question you watch 3-5 seconds of nothing. You have to pay money for extra trivia questions. My 22 year old son didn’t like it and I didn’t like it enough to leave a 1 star review. There are better trivia games out there.
  • Disappointed but has potential

    At first I loved this game - we played several times a week with the family. But it’s plagued with bugs which pretty much ruins the game:

    1) The virtual board (on mobile devices) is extremely difficult to accurately move your piece and often becomes non-responsive. They need to make the board pinch/zoomable (duh). So frustrating sometimes I want to throw my phone.

    2) Even though the category progress bar has not gotten to 100%, we routinely get the same questions OVER AND OVER even during the same game.

    There are other annoying bugs, but those are the two biggest. What a great idea for a game but the developers really need to fix these issues.
  • like it but I don’t love it

    The UI needs some TLC. The adding of your points and wait screens take a while. There’s also no way to check the score when you want to. you have to wait for it to show up. The adult setting still includes some really easy universal knowledge questions and the game is littered with type-os. Fun idea though as long as they keep adding to it and keeping things current.
  • Love this game, but a lot of issues

    This game is one of my favorite games. Although it has some issues. The first issue is that we’ve had a lot of repeating questions. We’ve had a question that has been a question 6 times and I’ve only started playing it since 2 weeks ago. Second, fix up grammar and other errors. I’ve counted a lot of misspellings and etc. lastly, some questions should be in different categories. I got a math problem in science and nature. I got a movie question in back to school. Also, there are some questions that are too easy for adults and too hard for children. Great game, but clean it up.
