WORKS WITH THE DEVICES YOU ALREADY OWN: Run the free app on iPhone, iPad, Android phone or tablet, or a Windows 10 and 11 laptop. Connect up to six devices as handheld buzzers so every team gets their own controller, then stream the whole show to almost any Smart TV for the full big-screen effect. A folding stand for your phone or tablet is in the box. There is nothing extra to buy to start playing, and every future app update is included at no cost, so the game keeps getting better over time.
THE WORLD'S FIRST REMOTE-PLAY BOARD GAME: Outsmarted rebuilt family quiz night for the way people live now, becoming the first board game to let distant players share one table from wherever they are. Ten core categories span Breaking News, Sound and Music, Pub Quiz, TV Film and Books, Sports and Leisure, Science and Nature, History and Geography and more, with Breaking News refreshed every single week. A modern take on games night that families across the world have taken to heart.
PLAY YOUR OWN LIVE TV QUIZ SHOW AT HOME: Outsmarted turns family game night into a real quiz show, with the free app playing host and putting everyone in the hot seat against the clock. Choose your game length, pick teams or go solo, and let the app run the whole show. It reads out the questions, keeps score and builds the tension, so nobody sits out to referee. Beat the buzzer or get Outsmarted. This is game night with the buzz of a real TV studio right in your living room.
PICK UP AND PLAY IN UNDER TWO MINUTES: No thick rulebook, no fiddly setup. Open the app, register your license key once, and the host walks everyone through it in a minute or two. Pick your game duration, choose individual or team play, and away you go. Because the app runs the show and keeps score, a player of any age can host, so you spend the evening playing instead of refereeing. It is ready to go straight from the box for a spontaneous round whenever the mood strikes.
MULTIMEDIA QUESTIONS WITH IMAGES, MUSIC AND VIDEO: These are not flat printed cards. Over 10,000 questions come alive with pictures, song clips and video for a rich show feel that holds attention across every age group. The box holds a board and dice, six hand-painted 3D genius figurines and a folding tablet stand, so it looks and feels like a premium set on the table. Fresh, topical content lands regularly, so the game you play tonight is never the one you played last year.
KIDS VS TEENS VS ADULTS, NOW ANYONE CAN WIN: The game reads each player's age and adjusts question difficulty automatically, so a nine year old and a grandparent get a fair fight. Kids get their level, teens get theirs, adults get the tough ones. Play with 2 to 24 people, from a quiet night for two to a full house at Christmas. Everyone stays in it to the final question, and for once the grown-ups do not get the easy ride. A level playing field that keeps the whole room competing.
JOIN OVER ONE MILLION FAMILIES PLAYING OUTSMARTED: This is the game families reach for when they want a real night together, off the silent scrolling and solo screens. It gets three generations laughing, groaning and competing around one board. A personal license key and free lifetime support come with every copy, plus a growing library of free bonus categories in the app. Real questions, real laughs, real time together. That is why the Outsmarted community keeps growing.
BUILT FOR 2 TO 24 PLAYERS, AGE 8 AND UP: Sized for anything from a two-player evening to a packed family gathering, with automatic age balancing that keeps every player in with a real chance. Suitable from age 8, it fits mixed groups where children, teenagers and adults all play together on level terms. A strong pick for family nights, sleepovers, school breaks, holidays and rainy afternoons when you need one game the whole room can enjoy at once.
BRING IN FAMILY FROM ANYWHERE WITH REMOTE PLAY: Relatives and friends can join your game from another town or another country, all through the free app, with a virtual board and voice chat built in. Pair it with the in-app Question Store to add free and low-cost category packs whenever you want more of the topics you love. Multipacks bundle several categories together for the players who never want the questions to run dry. One game that keeps growing right alongside your family.
10,000+ QUESTIONS THAT STAY RIGHT UP TO DATE: The 2026 Edition packs more than 10,000 multimedia questions across ten core categories, and the content never goes stale. Fresh topical questions are added regularly and the Breaking News category refreshes every week, so if it happened recently it could come up tonight. From Quick Thinking to Back to School and Lifestyle and Culture, the mix stays balanced for the whole family and current with the world outside your door.
