Outsmarted - The App-Connected TV Quiz-Show Board Game | Kids, Teens & Adults | Next-Level Game Night for Family & Friends | 2–24 Players | Age 8+ | 10,000+ Questions | 2026 Edition

This game is great for playing with friends and family remotely. It can be played with everyone together in one room as well, but so can a million different trivia games. What makes this unique is the ability to let others join the game and play with you remotely. They do NOT need to have their own version of the game. A code pops up for you to give to them and they can play via a free app on their phone or tablet. We have family all in various locations and have had so much fun playing this together with them. Basics of the game: It is very similar to trivial pursuit in concept. You move around the board answering trivia questions based on the categories you choose. We got the Ultimate Edition because it came with more categories, but you can actually buy a new category for $3.49 (at the time of writing this) in their online store. We also already won a free one from a "Golden Question" they asked at the end of our game. Variety and Choices: In Trivial Pursuit you have to complete all categories to get to the final challenge. In this game, you can choose to complete two categories (called rings) or four or six. You choose when you set it up. You can choose how it is handled in terms of timing attempts, bonus play, turning on assists like in 50/50, skip the question, and extra time. You can turn these things on or off and control how many assists are given to each team. It also allows you to select the age group (child, teen, and adult) of a player to make the questions fit their age range better. Electronic device not optional: When you see the pictures of the game, you see the board and player pieces, and dice. That sort of implies you can play without using an electronic device like a phone or tablet. You cannot. The questions come from the device. You can do all the rolling and moving around the board on the pieces in the box or using the app, but you can only do the questions and submit answers on the device using the game app (which is free). You only need one device to play it and you can easily mirror your device to a TV for better group viewing though. I got this game to play remotely with people so this feature didn't bother me, but it might bother others. If you are looking for a traditional sit around a board and read questions and answer trivia game, this is not that. The good part is that the questions are very up-to-date and you can add new question packs over time since it is app based. Final Thoughts: Very much recommend for playing remotely with others. Also recommend for everyone in a room together as long as you understand you will need to use a tablet or phone to do the questions and submitting answers. Would not recommend if you are looking for a traditional sit around the table trivia game.

This game is brilliant, so much fun. Great questions and you have the option to buy more categories that interest you or your game players. I bought more like Animal kingdom and Disney classics etc.. you can play the game sitting at a table with the board or you can link the game through your phone to your smart TV. Everyone joins with their phone viva a code given after you pick you question categories. 1- 24 players and you can play in teams. Have fun.. we did😁

Our family has had such a great time playing Outsmarted! It’s become one of our go-to games for family nights, and it’s been a fun way to bond with our teenagers. We really like that we can play on our devices and then mirror the game to the TV so everyone can easily follow along. The questions are awesome—up-to-date and even tied to current events (we saw questions from just last week!). There’s also a wide variety of topics, so it feels fun and challenging without needing to buy extra packs. One of our favorite features is the ability to build up assists. It adds a whole new layer of strategy and competition, which makes the game even more exciting. Overall, Outsmarted has been a huge hit in our house—we can’t recommend it enough!

Played for the first time on NYE. It was fun and I would definitely recommend. My only issue is I definitely felt that maybe the game updated too frequently. I get that it makes sense for the news category but we were getting questions about 2025 songs in 2025! Just didn't feel like trivia at times. Another complaint is that you only get 1 registered device so be sure to install it on whatever device you will be playing it on the most And ideally one that stays in the house.

This is a great trivia game for all ages! My grandsons are almost 5 years apart so it’s great that the questions can be chosen according to their age. Each player can use their own tablet or phone and it is a lot of fun. The variety of categories covers a lot of interests and you can purchase additional categories.

This is exactly what I wanted and expected. Anyone who says the questions are all U.K. or that the board and game pieces aren't used is NOT understanding the game play. Yes, you can play without the game board IF you choose the fully digital mode, but you can also play manually (rolling dice, moving pieces, and playing with the game board) - my fave!, using the app for questions only. This is a great game that combines technology and trivia to make an experience the whole family can enjoy. I've already played several times and have bought the additional question game packs for even more fun in categories I'm excited to play. If you're on the fence like I was due to 1-star reviews, ignore them and just buy the game. You won't regret it!

This game is so fun. You can play with two people or a large group. You move around the board similar to other trivia games but the questions are asked and answered on a tablet with the app. They update the categories often and you can purchase new ones in the app for just a couple of bucks. There is a Current Events category that will have questions from the prior week. This is one of the most fun games we own. Highly recommend to buy.

We tried the Outsmarted game and it was such a hit. I love that it connects to your TV and everyone plays from their own phone, so it feels like you’re on a real game show. The questions adjust for kids and adults, which makes it perfect for family nights or having friends over. It’s fun, interactive, and honestly one of the most unique board games we own! The questions also are constantly updating with current event which I find so cool!

Outsmarted has completely changed our family game nights! We've tried countless trivia games over the years, and none have come close to this one. The ability for players of different ages and knowledge levels to compete on a level playing field is genius. It's so easy to set up—just download the app and you're good to go. The questions are fantastic, covering a huge range of topics, and the addition of picture and video rounds makes it so much more fun than a standard board game. Plus, the ongoing updates with new questions and special rounds mean it never gets old. If you're looking for a game that will get everyone laughing, shouting, and thinking, look no further. This is an absolute must-have for anyone who loves trivia or wants a fun way to bring people together. A perfect 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I found the features of this game to be innovative and clever. The remote playing feature is a literal game-changer (pun intended), which allows other players to join in on their own devices. Other clever features include the one that enables players to adjust the difficulty by selecting their age range (Kid, Teen, Adult) so they get questions that they can answer, one which the player can control the duration of the game, as well as questions that update automatically. The multimedia enhances the fun. Outsmarted is the new trivia game for today's age, perfect fun for players, young and old!

Outsmarted is a fantastic game! We don’t tend to use the board and instead play it on the iPad and TV, which works really well and keeps everything simple. We had lots of fun over Christmas playing with our teenage children and elderly parents. It’s great how the game suits all ages. The mix of questions and challenges keeps everyone involved and competitive without being too complicated. You can also choose the speed if the game! Highly recommend for family get-togethers. Great fun and plenty of laughs.

Ich muss meine Bewertung komplett ändern: Nachdem ich eine negative Bewertung hinterlassen hatte (das Spiel hatte sich nur einmal problemlos spielen lassen, danach funktionierte die App nicht mehr richtig) muss ich alles zurücknehmen! Die App funktioniert wieder einwandfrei und das Spiel lässt sich wunderbar spielen!!! Nachträglich vergebe ich nun 5 Sterne für ein wirklich tolles Quiz-Spiel, bei dem man noch viel lernen kann. Das Spiel ist eine Mischung aus "Wer wird Millionär" und Trivial Pursuit. Zu Beginn sucht man sich 6 Fragenkategorien aus, aus welchen dann die Fragen gestellt werden. Es sind reichlich und abwechslungsreiche Themen dabei, und man kann noch viele weitere Fragenpäckchen online dazukaufen. Die Zusatzpäckchen kosten dann zwischen 1,99 und 3,49 Euro und enhalten zwischen 100 und 200 zusätzlichen Fragen. Man sieht auch schon bei der Kategorieauswahl, wieviele Fragen man aus einem Thema gespielt hat und bekommt einen Hinweis, wenn man eine Kategorie vollständig hat. Dann muss man damit rechnen, dass sich die Fragen wiederholen. Aber bis man da hin kommt, wird es eine Weile dauern. Man kann die Spieldauer eingrenzen: 30, 60, 90 Minuten oder vollständige Spielzeit: bis ein Spieler komplett alles beantwortet hat. Beim Beantworten der Quizfragen werden 4 mögliche Antworten angezeigt, und man hat 30 Sekunden Zeit, um die richtige Antwort auszuwählen. Man hat auch die Möglichkeit wie bei Wer wird Millionär Joker einzusetzen: Frage überspringen, 30 zusätzliche Sekunden zum Beantworten der Frage oder 50/50, d.h. zwei falsche Antworten werden gestrichen. Die Joker können zufällig im Spiel wieder erworben werden, entweder durch ein zufällig ausgewähltes Glücksrad, oder es wird angezeigt, dass man durch die richtige Antwort wieder Joker bekommen kann. Wie bei Trivial Pursuit ziehen die Spieler ihre Spielfigur nach Würfelaugen übers Spielfeld und müssen dann eine Frage aus der entsprechenden Fragenkategorie der Spielfeldfarbe beantworten. Die Schwierigkeit der Fragen richtet sich nach dem Alter des Spielers. Hier wird zwischen Kind, Jugendlicher und Erwachsener unterschieden. Anstatt Tortenstücke wie bei Trivial Pursuit, werden hier 6 Ringe in verschiedenen Farbe gesammelt. Die Ringe werden nur virtuell gesammelt, das übernimmt dann die App. Man kann das Spiel sowohl als physische Brettspiel-Variante spielen, als auch jeder Spieler mit der App auf seinem Smartphone oder Tablet mit einem virtuellen Spielbrett. Unser Pubertier ist zwar eher ein Spielemuffel, aber er kommt an und möchte mit uns spielen. Das spricht für das Spiel. Zumal im bei den zusätzlichen Fragepaketen echt tolle Themen dabei sind, an denen er schon sein Interesse bekundet hat. Am 1. Weihnachtsfeiertag gab es bei uns großen Frust, da wir das Spiel nur einmal spielen konnten und danach hatte die App nicht mehr funktioniert. Als ich es am späten Abend noch einmal probierte, die App zum Starten zu bekommen, erschien dann doch eine Fehlermeldung, dass es wohl viel Datenverkehr gab und daher zu Problemen gekommen sei. Am nächsten Tag funktionierte wieder alles wie es sollte. Der Ärger ist verflogen, ich entschuldige mich für die schlechte Bewertung, die ich zuerst hinterlassen habe. Das Spiel muss wohl unter sehr vielen Weihnachtsbäumen gelegen haben. Aber Qplay hat direkt reagiert und wirklich was getan und die Kunden nicht hängen lassen. Allein schon dieser Service hat 5 Sterne verdient!!!
