Mr Lister's Quiz Shootout: Perfect Card Game For Families | 120 Crazy Questions

I ordered Mr Lister’s Quiz Shootout (MLQS from now on) along with the rather fantastic Qwordie a couple of weeks ago and have been delighted with it. I’ve played it with groups from 5-25 people.As explained in my review of Qwordie, I run a boardgames club at a boys secondary school (ages 11-16). The responses have been overwhelmingly positive.In MLQS you have as many teams as you like and you fire off questions such as: What are the ingredients in a Big Mac?Teams list everything they can think of and then take turns to give an answer at a time. Wrong answers or blanks get you eliminated. Certain answers are golden as they are more obscure eg McD’s special sauce.Once all the answers are given, any remaining teams or golden answer givers go through to the Shootout Round: Generally a guesstimate question eg How many Big Macs did McD’s sell in 2014? Closest answer wins!You win a card which has a bottle on the back and the goal is to win 3 different bottles to win the whole game.It’s simple, it takes seconds to explain and players can drop in and out of teams at will: we even ended up with 2 big teams and used the Shootout question as a double or nothing round for cards and points.I’ve even started using it at the start or end of lessons to focus students. Quite simply: they love it!

A great little game, excellent value for money and the worth the replay 👍 suitable for all ages

We played in pairs, which makes it easier to include children younger than the suggested 14 years old. Easy to play from 10 years up or so. They might not know any Beatles records, but they will know birds and crisps. We enjoyed it for an hour or so round the Christmas table. We also managed to slide the cards down to read the question underneath without revealing the answers, so the question master could take part in the game too (apart from the shoot out question....). Happy with purchase, would definitely recommend

Such a simple but fantastic game! Having never heard of Mr Lister, I thought it was worth a punt for £15...I wasn't disappointed! The game can easily be played as individuals or teams (we played as 6 teams of pairs with one quiz master). The questions are all current (some referencing 2015) and are all suited to the UK (no random American questions). The majority of the question cards really got the competitiveness going and were all pitched at just the right level (not University challenge). The idea of the golden answers also built the suspense when going around the group, and encourages people to give more alternative answers rather than just going for the easy ones. All in all a great party game that can last for as long as you want it to (just decide how many cards the winner needs to collect). Highly recommended

Such a wonderful game! It's something that you can play with absolutely anyone and have huge amounts of fun. I've been playing this game everyday since it was bought and it brings lots of laughter with it. The game is pretty simple, you get 5 different drinks and bam, you won the game. You're either listing the answers really fast or barely scrapping it with 1 answer and praying it's a blue star! It's hard and easy but hey, what game isn't? Definitely would recommend this game to anyone and another game that the company has made which is called 'Chameleon'. Essentially playing mafia but better. Will continue buying from this company because clearly disappointment isn't in their dictionary!!!

This game is well packaged, well made and good to play. It is let down somewhat though by the fact that many of the questions are out of date, relating to events in 2015 or earlier which is not indicated on the box.For some questions this wasn't much of a problem but for others, such as 'name the parties who won seats in the general election' it caused frustration that the answers related to 2015 and ignored the one 2017. Many don't mention the year - E.g. when asked to name people who have appeared on UK bank notes Churchill (2016) doesn't appear. This makes the game largely unplayable.

The game consists mainly of small cards which make it portable and easy to store. Questions vary in theme and topic, and if children are joining in it's easy to use the more general subjects eg name the top 10 UK favourite fruits, or popular baby boy names of 2014. More difficult questions include naming last 12 UK prime ministers or busiest UK airports. Something for everyone - we find our family reaching for this game more than others because it's simple to learn and fun to play.

Great for a game with a few people when you don't want to bother sitting around a table with a board or fussing with lots of pieces. Family friendly and there are questions to suit most people. A couple of issues in that game play is a bit biased to whichever team or individual goes first. To make it fair, you need to start with a new team/person each time. We did it as individuals and passed the role of Mr Lister (question reader) on each round. The other issue is that there is no replay value on the cards as once you know the answers you can't play it fairly again. There are quite a lot of cards though, so plenty for a good amount of games.
