Outsmarted - The Live Quiz Show - 2025 Version - Remote Board Game - More than 10000 Multimedia Questions and Updates, Live TV Quiz Show, Family Game Night - Games for Adults, Teens and Kids - Ages 8+

I’ve always loved board games, and have been on the hunt for a decent quiz game for some time now. Having owned the game for a couple of months now, both remotely and in a room with real life people, I feel obliged to give this gem a review…First of all, the presentation of the game is excellent. Everything about the packaging, board and playing pieces oozes quality, which you’d expect considering the game isn’t cheap. You even get some little stands to place your devices on if you so choose. The playing pieces themselves are really cute, and are meant to represent famous boffins through history. Some of these are more instantly recognisable than others, and there is a diverse representation, but I’d like to see a wheelchair user (Stephen Hawking?) included in future iterations. Also, note that some of the characters are playable on the remote version but aren’t included in all versions of the board game…The game was very easy to register with my iPad using the registration card provided. I had a game set up within 10 minutes of opening the box for the first time, and the app does a good job of explaining various features.Included with the game are several question packs, which cover a good range of topics. Some are a little more obscure (celebrity arrests?!) but there’s also some great general knowledge packs to get you started (pub quiz and back to school are always popular). However, if you want to get the most from the game you will want to purchase additional quiz packs to expand your questions. These range in price from £1.99-2.99, although there are some special packs on offer where you can purchase several together (through the website). The price of the packs doesn’t seem too unreasonable, but some packs are much smaller than others (for example, movie music only has around 100 questions, so it won’t be long before you see them being repeated).Before the game starts you select which six quiz packs the game will use as categories during the game. I feel it would be great if there were an option to let the game pick six categories at random for you, to keep things fresh and interesting, but this isn’t a huge problem.Now for the really clever part. Some people who are playing don’t even need to be in the same place as you. I was dubious about this feature before I bought the game, but it’s safe to say I’ve been very pleased with how reliably it works. I’ve played several games with people hundreds of miles away, both on my own and with other people playing around the board.The app allows remote players to roll a virtual dice and move their pieces on a virtual board. If using a real board too you just have to remember to also move your virtual piece so remote players can see what you’re doing. Personally I find it easier just to do away with the physical board altogether if playing against anyone remotely. App connection is good, and dropouts are few and far between.Now for a few (minor gripes)…The colours of some of the squares on the board are way too similar to each other, and it can be a real challenge trying to work out which category you’ve landed on at times (red/yellow/orange are the main culprits here). I’m not sure why they didn’t opt for more distinct colours, such as black etc.Also, every time you land on a question and select the relevant category on the app it then plays a little video sequence that you have to press ‘next’ to move past. Except you can’t press ‘next’ straight away, as there is a few second delay. This gets a little irritating after a while, but it could be down to the question loading in the background. Still, it would be good to turn this video off if possible.The final gripe is with the random bonuses the game can give to players during the game. Whilst this gives the game some gameshow sheen and can be quite exciting at first, when you are outsmarting a player and then you find they suddenly get a 4x score multiplier on a 500 point question (thus winning 2000 pts if they get it right) this can suddenly become VERY annoying! It would be great to have the option to turn these random bonuses off, but alas, it’s not there (yet).But please don’t let these minor issues put you off this excellent game. I’ve had so much fun playing it with family and friends, and I love how customisable it is with the varied quiz packs. It’s also very family friendly, with several quiz packs available that are suitable for children, plus you can set the ages of players in game to adjust the questions accordingly. This was a very good idea.Overall you won’t be disappointed with Outsmarted. Buy it now!

5 stars from us. Such a great family interactive game for all ages. Have had lots of fun with it. Very straight forward to set up and buying categories from the online store. Lots of choice to pick from and all up to date. It’s very addictive once you start playing it. Great buy.

Outsmarted is an excellent addition for those who enjoy trivia and quizzes, the interactive use of the device and the physical board work well together and the the range of questions that are constantly updated along with the options to purchase new question packs at low cost is a real positive.Some may find the questions a little too easy and the random awarding of bonuses such as additional assists or advancing to the next ring can reduce that difficulty further.On the whole this is a very good game at a reasonable price with quality components and a good app that is easy to operate. Hopefully as the game develops further more categories will be added to increase the question pool and options will be added to disable the awarding of the random bonuses too for those wanting a longer game with less assists.

We had so much fun playing this. Great tou can see the game time tol which helps keep the game to a certain time frame which is good if kids are playing.Loads of interesting questions and you can choose the subjects for each game.You work your way around the board answering the corresponding coloured questions you land on as you go. 30 seconds to answer each question. Of you answer correctly you cam have another dice toll. You keep going until you land I'm a ring and you select a ring question and which colour your on. Aim is to answer each ring question colour correctly to collect that colour ring to win the game.Questions I'd never know the answer to so I learnt quite a few new facts. The 50/50 and extra time functions are a great help.You can tell the app which players are juniors teens or adults so the questions are adjusted although we found some of the junior questions too difficult.You can play as individuals or as teams which gives another option on the way to play. You can also have players join remotely with the app after giving them your game code.Really enjoyed the game and look forward to playing it again soon.
