Great concept and game for family and friends, with inclusive age adjusted questions making it suitable for all.
Ability to play remotely with others enhances the experience, allowing for long distance multiplayer sessions.
Wide variety of questions and categories that are regularly updated keeping the game fresh and educational.

The game heavily relies on an internet connection and their servers, leading to unplayable conditions during peak times and outdated or repetitive questions.

stability
121 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions
The game suffers from severe stability issues, frequently freezing, crashing, and glitching across multiple devices and platforms. These problems often prevent players from starting or completing games, causing significant frustration and a poor overall experience. Despite the game's fun concept, its current bug-ridden state makes it largely unplayable until essential fixes are made.
- “Bought the game for Christmas for all of us to play, but low and behold we can't even play. The app freezes up, can't even get the players loaded. Tried on different phones (iPhone and Android), both lock and freeze and can't even start the game.”
- “Game freezes and refuses to move on, then gets stuck in a never-ending 'reconnecting' screen.”
- “Constant freezes part way through a 20-minute game, so frustrating. Unfortunately, the app is not fit for purpose.”
gameplay

18% positive mentions, 64% neutral mentions, 18% negative mentions
Gameplay experiences are mixed, with some users praising improved flow, interaction, and question quality, while others criticize bugs, disconnections, slow or frustrating mechanics, and unreliable connectivity. Repetitive actions and confusing UI also hinder smooth play, and issues like app crashes and poor memory aids affect user enjoyment. Overall, gameplay shows potential but is marred by technical problems and design flaws.
- “Brilliant questions, fantastic interaction, seamless gameplay.”
- “The gameplay has improved 1000%.”
- “Recent update has made gameplay flow even better.”
- “If you can't get basic gameplay to work even on the same Wi-Fi network, I don't trust you to work longer distances.”
- “Users get booted out randomly and gameplay-wise, having to click a colored place on the board after rolling which relates to the question category, then have to select that category again is annoying.”
- “Awful, disjointed instructions, constantly disconnecting players, slow gameplay, and ultimately just an incredibly lame trivia game.”
music
16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
19% positive mentions, 62% neutral mentions, 19% negative mentions
Users report frequent issues with music questions, including long loading times, missing or no sound, and low volume compared to sound effects. The music can be repetitive and sometimes poorly matched or untranslated, which detracts from the experience. Despite these problems, players appreciate the game's overall music and request more genre-specific and regionally relevant music packs.
- “The new cut scenes, modes and music are excellent.”
- “Great game! I would like more packs featuring specific genres of music like hip hop and R&B, country only, rock and roll, etc., because some groups don't know every genre of music/movies so why not narrow it down more. Also maybe TikTok trends with questions on creators, dances, songs, etc. And please add an anime/manga category too Would also love to be able to play this via consoles instead of having to screen share and allow controller use on all platforms!”
- “Only feedback would be perhaps some more question packs in the future, like just music only, or Harry Potter, or Disney, etc. but overall me and my friend had a blast, even though I lost!”
- “When playing any music categories, I don't get any sound of the music and it takes a long time to load the question if it ever does.”
- “The sounds are super repetitive; I've only played twice and I can't stand the category theme music when the question is loading.”
- “I feel like half of the questions were made by AI, and the other half (especially the music ones) break and don't play.”
monetization
