5.0 out of 5 stars Great party fun for all ages! , November 25, 2007

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

Terribly fun trivia game for all ages - literally. Up to four people can play & the questions are actually adjusted to meet the participant's age levels! Sweet. The topics are well chosen, the questions are varied, the Wii pointer works dead on the money. You buzz in by snapping the wiimote backward, feels rewarding.
This is a great trivia game for friends or for family gatherings around the holidays... not too hard to include the kids and not easy for adults. It's bright and friendly and very inviting to both gamers and non-gamers. Feels like everyone playing a really fun board game, except it's much more fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars Family fun for all ages/Great Icebreaker, December 29, 2007

By	Gloria (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

We brought Smarty Pants to Christmas dinner, and the wii generation was playing this game. The elders and non-gamers could see and hear the game from the side and started to pay attention and join in. Soon thereafter, our parents were playing a round themselves! While "competitive," the entire family started to help all four players, making for great memories and laughs. It is an easy platform for fun and icebreakers at parties. The game is most fun if there is a group of people. I could not imagine it being fun with just two people.

The drawback to the game is that we did see some recycled questions within the two games played. And in some instances, the questions didn't make sense though age appropriate. However, everyone started jumping in to eliminate the wrong answers. Now who's got the quickest thumb to buzz? A bunch of laughs within itself.
