Console game itself is entertaining and fun and the app is both easy to use and seemingly bug-free. Loses a star as all players experienced some lag on the questions that have you performing specific tasks (as opposed to the general ones that as you to select a correct answer). Other than that, worked as intended across a range of Android & iOS devices in our group, all connected via WiFi to console.
The only app/ps4 tie-in that I've seen actually working. great fun for all the family. My friends who visit love the game. Latest update apparently fixes some bugs? I've yet to encounter any bugs! People who want to cut out the commentator don't get that the idea is that you're on a quiz show on TV. You can't ask the host to 'shut up and get on with it'. What's the rush? Enjoy the cut scenes even if they are repetitive (just like a real quiz show!). The developers are collectively geniuses!
The standalone app is actually more fun than the PlayStation game, which is really slow-paced. The trivia questions are well-designed so that knowledgeable people can guess what they don't know. If they PlayStation game had less pauses, animations, and talking between questions, it would be really fun. As is, though, everyone gets bored and antsy waiting for the next question.
There is an issue with the camera on some Android devices when taking the picture for the character. The game is amazing but doing fun faces for the character adds to the experience. I am sure there is a simple fix for this issue.
Great game to play with friends no issues there, the only thing is for some reason the camera does not take the selfie properly. I think it uses the facial recognition infrared camera which causes the selfie to be white. Not fun if you wan to make silly faces to have more fun with the game.
Still works as good as before. I've been playing this game for a few years now, when friends and family are round we play it. We all have different devices from android phones, to iPhone and tablets and no one I've known as ever had issues with cameras like some of the other reviews. Only issue I have now is on the ps5 I have to tell it the IP of the console but then it connects fine, sadly it doesn't auto detect I guess it looks specifically for a ps4 (maybe in an update ps5 will be added)
Great game and concept. Hoping for upgrades to have a SKIP button between questions to skip max talking and skip the PowerPlays if we dont want to use them (maybe a button to allow to turn off these). Will keep playing if this comes out, otherwise takes too long between questions to really be fun
Quite possibly the greatest achievement in game design history. The challenge of getting all your drunk friends to pay attention to the same screen at the same time is almost half the fun. From the loading screen, to the righteous indignation ANY time ANYONE uses ANY power play against you, this game is unforgettable.
it's fun to play with your family but some questions are hard. it would also be great if there were more character options or you have the ability to costomise your character. overall, a good game, perfect for parties! 👍
It only works if you have a playstation with good connection. It's fun for all of the family and the stuff in between the questions is amazing the quick play uses no connection to you which is two player which I think it's a good addition as well I gave it 5 Stars because it's probably one of the best games for all of the family that you can play even the questions for all ages 5 year olds can get some of them I like the idea of using your phone or tablet to use as a controller. Ps Finn & Mill.
great game. full family love it. if I had to say something negative it would be that I would add the ability to skip the cut scenes because they become very boring after you've played it once.
So incredibly tedious. The cutscenes take longer than the actual quiz does, the questions are far too easy and there's just one question in each category. I'd expect a good quiz to do maybe five questions in a category pretty quickly one after the other but the game focuses more on your avatar running around and on the in-game power-up gimmicks. Not worth it.
Great game, don't get too early a lead or everyone targets you lol Super easy to understand and play with a great assortment of genres and questions, we've played many games and have never seen the same question twice (new genres keep popping up too)
The game is really fun and playing from your phone is a cool twist. It runs on my 7 year old phone with no issues. Plus the app can use the wifi hotspot on the ps4 to connect if you're having issues. I didn't even know the ps4 had a wifi hotspot.
Every so often have to redownload it will mess up if i dont play after a while. It is very fun for all!!!
Doesn't work I downloaded this app earlier today, but still haven't been able to make it to work. It shows the first two screens that say Sony entertainment presents etc, and then crashes and closes. Could the devs please fix this issue as otherwise I can't play the PS4 game. P.S. The issue was on an Alcatel.
Hey playstation, I have a Wiki Jerry 2. I don't know if it's my fault but the app isn't able to open up. I tried everything - from wifi-hotspot and connecting before opening, to deleting the app and even restarting my phone completely to download again. Nothing works and the app buggs and switches automatically off before starting a game. It doesn't come past the "published by" screen. Please help me as I'd love to give you a five star review on this and been waiting waaaayyyy to long to own this myself. 😅😂
Such a fun game and great way to pass the time while stuck in the house. I just hate that one particular ad keeps popping up and I have to close out the game and load it again.
This game is perfect for family fun as all each player needs is a smart phone or tablet! I got That's You PlayLink for free with another purchase and my family and I loved it so much I bought this one. Great way to have fun together, no matter what age. What a genius idea; kudos!
Pro: Great and fun trivia question game! Makes family and friends dislike each other, especially the final stage. Con: Can only play up to 6 people. Wished more people could play at once.
Hey folks. I was trying to play game but games shows that I am not connected to the same WiFi. My phone is Poco X3 Pro.
A very good game to play with friends and family. I don't have any problems with this game but people can think differently than me. I'm just reating it 4 stars because the game may be perfect at what it does but it's not a perfect game in general.
Great game, but since I switched to the Samsing note 9 it wont allow me to play using the wifi, which then means I cannot play with others as they cannot play using the ps4 hotspot. This is a huge disappointment as I did not have this problem with my older phone
A brillant family game and you can also play with your friends when they come around to your house. The controls are very simple to use and to understand. It is also cool that you can use your tablet or phone as a controller to play the game.
Good fun game great for families your typical Christmas game. Lots of connection issues with 3 different devices. Keeps dropping out telling me I'm on a different WiFi network, even though I was in the middle of a game?!?. Too much talk between questions.
Nice quiz game, but it would be better to have the option to remove the "troubles" to make it less boring. Also it would be good to be able to skip the commentator and get straight to the questions. That would make it a lot more entertaining.
A fun time playing trivia with family or friends. Most people have a cell phone so there's no need for anything extra other than a PS4. It would be cool if it could actually use your face during the entire game but that's me just nitpicking. Just a fun game.
Fun overall, but completely unbalanced final round for 5-6 players. You can outscore every other player prior to the finale by 10,000 points, which means nothing during the ascent of the final pyramid. If you go in being first and are a strong player, other players can prevent you from having any chance of winning. You'll move up 2-3 levels, while other players scale the pyramid easily for the win. A game where the points don't matter! Don't bother scoring. Just play the final round for the W.
