it's fun to play with your family but some questions are hard. it would also be great if there were more character options or you have the ability to costomise your character. overall, a good game, perfect for parties! 👍

I have not been in a game that has not crashed on me. It kicks me at least once if not more completely out of the game and you end up loosing two turns due to it taking so long to get back in then having to wait until the next round. Lost several games because of this.

Love this game! Love the characters and the questions are hard but fun. The background and the funny things the host of the game says. Everyone can play on their phone and it's easy to join. Love it. I wish it was online as well so we could play with others far away. And I wish it would keep track of how many games we won if we logged in on our own accounts. But this is a great group game that gets everyone, kids and children involved.

Unplayable. Crashed 3 times in one game. Once it let's you back in you can't join back in until the end of the round even if it hasn't asked the question yet. Constantly calls up the front camera feed with no need. Immediately uninstalling!

Quite possibly the greatest achievement in game design history. The challenge of getting all your drunk friends to pay attention to the same screen at the same time is almost half the fun. From the loading screen, to the righteous indignation ANY time ANYONE uses ANY power play against you, this game is unforgettable.

There is an issue with the camera on some Android devices when taking the picture for the character. The game is amazing but doing fun faces for the character adds to the experience. I am sure there is a simple fix for this issue.

Brilliant game, characters are comical and the game show host is very typical of TV game show hosts. I have both the original and decades version of the game and enjoy both very much. I find this is a great icebreaker when friends and family are round and have yet to find anyone who didn't enjoy playing it. A couple of things I would like to see are: 1. Additional questions available to purchase ie Decades 40s to 70s. 2. Online capability would love to play during COVID lock down.

It's so bad optimised. On smartphones with hideable front cameras it constantly pulls out the camera and hides it again. This gives so much pressure on device thermal performece as well as battery and hardware endurance. It's amazing that since it release it is still an issue. Well deserved one star as these are critical issues.

Great game and concept. Hoping for upgrades to have a SKIP button between questions to skip max talking and skip the PowerPlays if we dont want to use them (maybe a button to allow to turn off these). Will keep playing if this comes out, otherwise takes too long between questions to really be fun

The only app/ps4 tie-in that I've seen actually working. great fun for all the family. My friends who visit love the game. Latest update apparently fixes some bugs? I've yet to encounter any bugs! People who want to cut out the commentator don't get that the idea is that you're on a quiz show on TV. You can't ask the host to 'shut up and get on with it'. What's the rush? Enjoy the cut scenes even if they are repetitive (just like a real quiz show!). The developers are collectively geniuses!

App doesn't work now. Just tried opening it and it doesn't. Uninstalled and reinstalled and still doesn't work. Having read others problems, seems to be that the app doesn't work for newer android updates. Shame, coz we loved playing this as a family

Still works as good as before. I've been playing this game for a few years now, when friends and family are round we play it. We all have different devices from android phones, to iPhone and tablets and no one I've known as ever had issues with cameras like some of the other reviews. Only issue I have now is on the ps5 I have to tell it the IP of the console but then it connects fine, sadly it doesn't auto detect I guess it looks specifically for a ps4 (maybe in an update ps5 will be added)

Console game itself is entertaining and fun and the app is both easy to use and seemingly bug-free. Loses a star as all players experienced some lag on the questions that have you performing specific tasks (as opposed to the general ones that as you to select a correct answer). Other than that, worked as intended across a range of Android & iOS devices in our group, all connected via WiFi to console.

Update for 2024 May. Android is completely abandoned by this app(not supporting it). IOS can launch it, and some models can play it, and some don't ( 15 works fine, 15 pro max does not connect to the game). Had to find old Android software to play this game. It is a shame that this beautiful game was abandoned( it is still so good). Ps store deleted it completely from their store, btw).

Me and my girlfriend have the exact same phone and have the exact same updates and operating system, yet I am able to download this and she can't, because it's made for an "older version of android" nice to see you have completely abandoned the app and left it here instead of just patching it to work like it should. Just remove it entirely.

Edit to 5 stars - problem was Samsung, now fixed. Sony, this is still a very relevant game. Works on both PS5 and PS4 but the app itself has not been updated for 2 years. As others below, I get kicked out (and so do most of my frieds) randomly about 4-8 times every game. This makes it impossible to compete. I think the app is fine but it needs some further bug fixes. I also have a pixel 6 pro and I never get kicked from that device.

I love this game, we play on PS4 and hook our phones up, but damn, the bugs are atrocious. Kicks you off the phone app several times in a single round, which means you miss your turn and lose the game. Happens to both me and my girl using samsung s21 and s22 phones. Its a great game, im really surprised how many bugs there are on it, because otherwise the game is awesome.

The standalone app is actually more fun than the PlayStation game, which is really slow-paced. The trivia questions are well-designed so that knowledgeable people can guess what they don't know. If they PlayStation game had less pauses, animations, and talking between questions, it would be really fun. As is, though, everyone gets bored and antsy waiting for the next question.

Love this game but please keep updating it My family and I play this every year on Christmas eve and my fiance and our friends play this a few times a year when we all get together. The game is great fun and we love we can use our phones. But the app hasn't been updated and is becoming unstable with every android update. The camera feature doesn't work, app crashes and then the player cant always rejoin. This app is still very relevant in 2023 and beyond. Please please devs update it!

Fun overall, but completely unbalanced final round for 5-6 players. You can outscore every other player prior to the finale by 10,000 points, which means nothing during the ascent of the final pyramid. If you go in being first and are a strong player, other players can prevent you from having any chance of winning. You'll move up 2-3 levels, while other players scale the pyramid easily for the win. A game where the points don't matter! Don't bother scoring. Just play the final round for the W.
