This was fun to play with my 10 yr old daughter. It was challenging on many questions. Great game for family game night.

The questions are adjusted for difficulty based on the players ages. This makes it great for a family. Youngsters can compete. It doesn't make much use of the wii controller though. Most of the game is just point or shake to signal that you're answering the question. Certain questions can get higher point value if you dance with the controller. We thought that the timer was way too short. It made it better to guess than actually think about the questions. This limited the game's educational value.

This is a great game for large groups of 3-8 players. Eight players sounds like a lot, but 4 teams of 2 each can really change the dynamic and make it more fun. With a large group of players this really become a fun trivia game.
The questions are based on the users age, but only if you choose to enter the users age. One time we selected 3years old just for fun and one of the questions that came up was "A clothing item that can be worn on your head?". Also the use of the Wii controller makes it fun. You don't just push a button to ring in you have to push a button and jerk up on the controller.
One downside is that I think every time a new player is created it starts asking the questions from the beginning again. Another issue is that the questions are too easy, not the subject material but the fact that you can almost guess the answer knowing nothing about the question just eliminating the answers that don't make sense.
Overall this is a fun game for family and friends. The fact that you can play with teams makes it even more entertaining and its pretty easy to overlook the issues with the questions.

A Favorite Wii GAme

We have already had $19.99 worth of fun and we have recently purchased this game. The questions are challenging enough for my husband who was a big winner on television trivia show and easy enough for our kids. When you begin the game you type in your age and the questions are then customized. It is gets you up and moving with dance challenges and is still a respectable trivia challenge. We were laughing and learning all afternoon. This game exceeded our expectations and is a family favorite.

I really love this game. I have played it dozens of times and have hardly had a question repeated! Both the Wager and Countdown modes are fun, although the Wager mode takes a lot longer because you have to shoot the point values after each person spins. And it's nice to see categories like Fashion, Entertainment, and Video Games mixed in, and not just the boring "school" subjects.
I have just a few complaints. As adults, doing the Double Points Dance is foolish. If you own the game, you know what I mean. Also the Family mode is not fun. Players all work together to answer the question, but if there are any disagreements about what the answer is, you're all at the mercy of the person manning the Wiimote. Lastly, the Solo play is boring. You can't use your Mii, you have to play as a guest, and all you do is answer questions until a timer runs out. There's no way to tell if you did better than last time you played solo.
Overall I have been extremely happy with the game. My boyfriend and I play nearly every day, sometimes several times. It's also fun at a party.

I'm 28 and I played with my 16 yr and 18 yr. nieces and their gradma (58) I think that it's great that the questions are geared toward your age. It's a really fun trivia game. In addition, it has it's goofy things like the double points dance (you'll) see. It's a great family game and a great party game. What more could you ask for $20? :)

I agree with most of what others have said. This is a great kid-friendly game that can be a bit hard for really young players. Here's a tip for playing with the youngsters: older players should enter as the same ages as the youngest ones, this way the game will always ask questions targeted to the youngsters. You'd be surprised at the questions that can stump you at this age level.
We played this game at many a family game night. Highly recommended at $20.

I have only played this game a few times, but each time I find that the questions are not so easy. This is a great challenge, but some of the questions are hard, and very specific. The questions are hard because they reference things that a 20 year old would have no clue about; for instance asking about a character in a movie from a long time ago.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Really fun game - great value

We played this game over mother's day and the entire family had a great time. The questions are really challenging and even during a full days of use, we got the same question maybe once.
I thought maybe it would have questions that are suitable for young kids, but they were not. Recommend it for at least 10 and up at the least.
We can't wait to play this at our next party - a great adult party game!

My husband and I love to have people over and play this game. It is good for most ages. This is an awesome game for 19.99 we even like it more than a lot of the more expensive games. I wanted are you smarter than a 5th grader but the reviews on this were much better so I bought this first. We did end up buying AYSTA 5th grader. We like them both but this one is way better!

For Trivia Aficionados!

This game is so much fun! While it is multiple choice, it's still not easy to guess often times. And you don't have that much time to sit and think about it after ringing in.
You can select the length of the game, choose from competitive or non-competitive play, and it keeps track of your profile and it selects questions appropriate for your age and difficulty level.
You spin the wheel to select a category, and sometimes you can draw special cards which you can play on your turn (e.g. to make questions easier for you, to make them harder for your opponent, to change the category, etc). This gives it a little bit of a "board game" feel, which is a good thing.
My favorite mode to play is Wager mode. The questions don't have a fixed dollar amount, but you get to play a "shoot out" mini game to determine the value of the questions in that round.
I've been playing this game about 3 times a week for the past month, and I've not gotten any repeat questions yet. But there is also an option that allows you to turn off the correct answer reveal. You may not ever find out the answer to that question, but at least you won't remember the answer the next time it comes up.
If you like trivia and are not frustrated by tough questions, I highly recommend this game!

I recently played Scene it on the xbox and was looking for something like that for the wii, well this is a general trivia game so it is not the movie only style of scene it , but it is really fun none the less. It has several features that make it a great group game i.e. nudging the wheel, dancing for a points bonus, and others.

This game is by far my favorite wii game. I love playing it and would recommend it to anyone. There are so many wii games that cost too much money, but this one has a great price and is better than any of those $50 or $60 games. Great choice if you have friends over.

We all love this one. There's a good mix of trivia for young, old, afficianados and not-so-afficianado.
Keeps you active while you're waiting for the other players to answer questions too.

Great game, it does not take long to play. The miis are all ugly you should be able to make your own. Some questions are hard but they are pretty much based on your age, so you really don't want to play with a 56 yr old if you are only in your teens. I'm almost thirty and played with my 70 yr old grandmother and we both had a hard time with some of the questions. All in all very fun game and you might just learn a few things.
