I am so surprised that the Trivial Pursuit people put their name on this piece of garbage. I brought it home thinking that my daugther and her friends would like it and while the questions were challenging, the characters are very annoying and after the 12 episodes are done, that's it...nothing. You have seen it all. There are no other discs to buy to go with it. I brought it back to the store for a refund. Why would a company market something like that for kids, knowing that kids want to keep playing and have a different game and questions each time. Don't waste your money!!

My 9 year old got this for xmas and couldn't wait to play it. After about 20 minutes of watching silly animated characters goof around, we finally gave up. I'm almost embarrassed to donate the thing. Yes, the questions are age appropriate, but it takes way too much time to get to them, even if you use the 'skip' feature on your DVD player. There are 12 episodes, or games; so once you've gone thru all 12, guess what- you start over again with the same questions. You don't navigate around the board- it's used to answer some questions by placing your pie wheel on your answer. Since everyone can see what your answer is, I don't get the purpose!! This game was a huge disappointment.

This is a 3-star game. The questions are very age appropriate -- my kids aged 9, 10, and 12 were challenged by the hard ones as well as encouraged by the easy questions. I like the DVD component of it, but MY GOSH!! the characters were unbelieveably annoying!!!! So we figured out how to skip the dialogue and go straight to the questions. (Just hit the "skip" button on your DVD remote.)

The reason I give it an "okay" is because answering questions and getting the pie-piece is not at all structured. It's basically whoever yells first or loudest wins...regardless of who actually knows the answer.

It would be better if one person was asked a question and allowed to answer it or pass it to the next person or something of that nature.

In addition, there are only 12 independent games available. Meaning, once you've gone through one pre-programmed set of questions (about 25 or so per game) on the DVD, there are only 11 pre-programmed set of questions (or pre-set games) left to be played. You can play a game over, but it would be the exact same game, same questions, same moronic dialogue.

So...that's it. An okay game.

My 6 year old son bought this game with birthday money. It's enjoyable, and he had fun playing it. It would be more fun if it took into consideration the players ages and weighted questions appropriately. I gave him extra time and didn't just walk all over him, but he might have enjoyed it more with another kid. There are a limited number of "episodes" to play (12 maybe?) so after you play it that many times, then it starts repeating questions and wouldn't be as much fun. Overall a good game though. Oh, and there is quite a bit of dialog between questions. This makes the game last longer, but I found it somewhat irritating (my son enjoyed some of the silly humor though.)

This is a great game. My whole family loves to play it together. The only downside is that there are only 12 episodes to choose from, so once you played them all, the game is useless.

This game was very enjoyable for my 8 year old. We all actually learned some facts that we didn't know before! It was very easy to bypass the animated announcer and skits in between each question so that didn't really bother us. We will be dissapointed when we complete all 12 sections since what's the point of repeating them. But, I'll pass it on to a friend and tell them to do the same.

Couldn't finish the game with a 10 yr old and a 12 yr old. I lost one kid to a Strawberry Shortcake video. Point = Netflix.

The questions were terribly easy and the characters on the DVD made us all 12 points dumber. This game is going to the good will box.

As other reviewers have mentioned this game's usefulness ends as soon as all the episodes are completed. There is no point in repeating the game, as all the answers will be known in advance,

While the game is new, it's fun for kids. This game was produced with planned obsolescence, taking into account the attention span of the average child, who has plenty of other things to play with.

It would be hard to play straight through as the game's characters become annoying towards the end of any one episode, By the time you are finished with a game, you kinda need a break, In that sense, this game could last for about a year, if you only play with it just about every two or three weeks!
