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 | 2025 Edition

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.

Fun game, it does stand up to the hype! Doesn't take long to set up and the rounds are punchy and fun. The ability to set the questions to an age range is great when you have a variety of people playing (ages 57,37, 11and 5). Although recommended for 8 plus he was able to press the buttons, and play the visual games such as logos or animation questions. This game is easy to play, we found having a tablet for the questions and the game to play on then use a phone to have the instructions at hand for the first time just helped with understanding. But on 2nd/3rd game we didn't need the instructions anymore. Highly recommended.... nice add on if you get the question wrong it throws up some info surrounding the question so you even learn abit too! Lovely quality and ease of installation of the app.

Brilliant fun, we played as a family at xmas in person and then since using the remote play. When in person we cast to the TV and played that way but there is a good board with figures to use if you prefer that. The game itself is great fun with lots of catorgories to play from, questions re updated regularly with new and relevant questions and you can add new packs for very reasonable prices. I highly recommend this to any families or groups of friends whonenjoy game show questions and have a little competitive spirit. Worth mentioning that the game also can be tailored to teens and children in terms of question difficulty. Its also very easy to set up.

This game was recommended to me by a work colleague. Its fantastic. The questions are so up to date that we were answering questions that were in the news 3 days ago! We have family over 200 miles away but with this game you get a code to share so you can play others remotely on your mobiles and on smart TV’s. We played as a family this week and enjoyed it so much we are going to make it a weekly event! Add-on questions are available so you can add categories. The game can be set up so different aged players can get questions that relate to them. You can also play games of different lengths depending on how long you want to play. I cannot recommend it enough and so glad I bought it.

Base game includes a good number of questions, with difficulty tailored to different ages so kids, teenagers and adults can all play together. Question packs can be a bit disappointing as some don’t have that many questions and can burn through them all in just a few games. In some questions, the photo that accompanies it can give away the answer (eg question asking what the chemical symbol for sodium is, had a picture of the periodic table zoomed in on Na-Sodium). More video questions would be good. Questions seem to be updated regularly, with up to date music questions and current affairs. Larger number of questions in the add-on packs would be good, but otherwise a great game that we play regularly as a family.

I’ve always loved board games, and have been on the hunt for a decent quiz game for some time now. Having owned the game for a couple of months now, both remotely and in a room with real life people, I feel obliged to give this gem a review… First of all, the presentation of the game is excellent. Everything about the packaging, board and playing pieces oozes quality, which you’d expect considering the game isn’t cheap. You even get some little stands to place your devices on if you so choose. The playing pieces themselves are really cute, and are meant to represent famous boffins through history. Some of these are more instantly recognisable than others, and there is a diverse representation, but I’d like to see a wheelchair user (Stephen Hawking?) included in future iterations. Also, note that some of the characters are playable on the remote version but aren’t included in all versions of the board game… The game was very easy to register with my iPad using the registration card provided. I had a game set up within 10 minutes of opening the box for the first time, and the app does a good job of explaining various features. Included with the game are several question packs, which cover a good range of topics. Some are a little more obscure (celebrity arrests?!) but there’s also some great general knowledge packs to get you started (pub quiz and back to school are always popular). However, if you want to get the most from the game you will want to purchase additional quiz packs to expand your questions. These range in price from £1.99-2.99, although there are some special packs on offer where you can purchase several together (through the website). The price of the packs doesn’t seem too unreasonable, but some packs are much smaller than others (for example, movie music only has around 100 questions, so it won’t be long before you see them being repeated). Before the game starts you select which six quiz packs the game will use as categories during the game. I feel it would be great if there were an option to let the game pick six categories at random for you, to keep things fresh and interesting, but this isn’t a huge problem. Now for the really clever part. Some people who are playing don’t even need to be in the same place as you. I was dubious about this feature before I bought the game, but it’s safe to say I’ve been very pleased with how reliably it works. I’ve played several games with people hundreds of miles away, both on my own and with other people playing around the board. The app allows remote players to roll a virtual dice and move their pieces on a virtual board. If using a real board too you just have to remember to also move your virtual piece so remote players can see what you’re doing. Personally I find it easier just to do away with the physical board altogether if playing against anyone remotely. App connection is good, and dropouts are few and far between. Now for a few (minor gripes)… The colours of some of the squares on the board are way too similar to each other, and it can be a real challenge trying to work out which category you’ve landed on at times (red/yellow/orange are the main culprits here). I’m not sure why they didn’t opt for more distinct colours, such as black etc. Also, every time you land on a question and select the relevant category on the app it then plays a little video sequence that you have to press ‘next’ to move past. Except you can’t press ‘next’ straight away, as there is a few second delay. This gets a little irritating after a while, but it could be down to the question loading in the background. Still, it would be good to turn this video off if possible. The final gripe is with the random bonuses the game can give to players during the game. Whilst this gives the game some gameshow sheen and can be quite exciting at first, when you are outsmarting a player and then you find they suddenly get a 4x score multiplier on a 500 point question (thus winning 2000 pts if they get it right) this can suddenly become VERY annoying! It would be great to have the option to turn these random bonuses off, but alas, it’s not there (yet). But please don’t let these minor issues put you off this excellent game. I’ve had so much fun playing it with family and friends, and I love how customisable it is with the varied quiz packs. It’s also very family friendly, with several quiz packs available that are suitable for children, plus you can set the ages of players in game to adjust the questions accordingly. This was a very good idea. Overall you won’t be disappointed with Outsmarted. Buy it now!

Such a fun game and a real hit with everyone and wt have a range of different ages. It’s super easy to set up and we love how it connects to the app and the TV, which makes it feel really interactive and modern. You can play on the real board or in the app. You can also play with players in different locations, which we really enjoyed and made it perfect over Christmas and New Year when not everyone was together. Great mix of questions, lots of laughs and friendly competition. We’ve played it loads already and it never gets boring. Would definitely recommend 👍

We were looking for family board games to play, Outsmarted fitted the bill because it allowed our teenage daughter to still use her phone which has become surgically attached to her hand. It's fun to play and allows the configuration of players in order to target the level of difficulty of each. I really like how upto date the questions are and the ability to purchase extra question packs at a reasonable price is also a bonus. I think there are possible improvements that could be made in the software, such as being able to extend the game duration if it runs out. Another improvement could be the option in the software to limit players to number of questions they can answer in a row, or if after answering a ring question play passes to another player. Other than those minor gripes, it's a great and simple game, which is well executed in the software.
