A quiz show that runs on an app while you move a plastic genius around a physical board. One device acts as the host with countdowns and sound, and up to eight more can serve as buzzer-style controllers. Collect all six IQ rings, then survive the final round.

Who it's for

Parties and larger family gatherings where a big crowd wants to compete in teams and nobody wants to explain rules over the noise.

Not for you if…

It needs charged devices and a working app, so it dies with your battery or a discontinued server. Trivia also rewards whoever happens to know things, which can leave younger or non-native-speaking players out in the cold.

Vibe's take

Loud, shouty and paced by the app rather than by the table, which keeps the energy up and stops anyone deliberating. The vibrating controllers make the buzzer moments genuinely tense.
