The graphics in the game are criticized for being glitchy and containing errors, which detracts from the overall experience.

- “Updates would be needed to improve the game, but I personally think we need to understand that they've at least put the effort into trying to replicate the dialogue of the game, as seen on shows, the localization with the intros, graphics, and questions, trying to get people around the world, or in their respective country, to play the game together, which hardly has been done before online.”
- “Sound and graphics are glitchy; some answers that the game evaluates as correct are simply incorrect.”
- “Graphical errors.”
