DVD Description

Fingers On Buzzers is a multi-remote game for the entire family. Unlike previous DVD games, this pack contains the game plus four infra-red multi-buzzers, which are compatible with all DVD players. This means there will be no more passing around of the remote control as now you can buzz in against your family and friends! Whether you’re a bubbly kid, a surly teen, a hip dad or a groovy granny, the slick graphics, tongue-in-cheek humour and playability of Fingers On Buzzers means it's the ideal DVD game for anyone hungry to test their mental agility.

Fingers on Buzzers is easy to set up and instantly playable--be it in a head-to-head battle between two, or all four players in action at once. Each game starts with a simple warm-up round to get players used to the multi-buzzer functionality, with the comical voice of the quiz master there to guide you through the game. After that, you take on your opponents with randomly selected rounds of general knowledge questions in the categories of: entertainment; sport; observational tasks; snap and parlour games; and the 'brainiac' subjects of politics, geography and history. Winning players can then revel in their glory, as their own virtual characters celebrate and lord it over unsuccessful opponents. With such an enjoyable DVD game, it'll only be moments before all contestants want to start afresh with a brand new game!

Customer Reviews

buzzzzzzzz
The game is simple and fun. A great idea to supply buzzers as its stops people fighting for the remote control. lots of questions to keep you going so the game doesn't get too boring if you play it alot. I did have an issue with my DVD player (it's getting on abit now) not accepting the buzzers but turning off the DVD player, then turning it on again seemed to sort this out, and it works fine now!

A pain to set up - could be improved
We had to do the set up about 4 times before it worked properly, once we got it working though it was fun although there were probably still a few delays meaning the wrong people got the points (not good if you're competitive!)
Don't really like the option of stealing someone else points but you can't do anything about that!
Wouldn't pay £15 for it but if it's reduced it would be a good bit of fun for about £10.
If the people who make this play it right they could produce a very good 2nd one but the first just screams for improvement.

Great fun :-)
This adds a twist to the interactive DVD quiz - instead of fighting over the remote control, you have a remote control each, provided in the pack, to answer your questions. You have to be the quickest to answer, pressing the correct coloured button on your remote control before your competitors. But be careful - if you get a wrong answer, you can lose points.

There are a couple of minor negatives - the remote controls for each player attach to a control box using a cable; the control box needs to be pointed always at the DVD player and the cables are not that long. You're going to have to be sat pretty close to the people you're playing against. There are some animated cut scenes and voiceover comments interspersed during the game, and familiarity quickly breeds contempt!

Neither of these detract much from the game. There is a good variety of question style and content, and in playing the game 3 times I've only repeated two or three questions. With three or four players, the competition starts to hot up and it becomes much more fun than with two. There are a couple of less usual rounds where you have the opportunity to mix around the scores or steal them from the other players. This makes it a game of strategy as well as general knowledge, adding an extra and fun dimension.

Amazon currently have this for less than a tenner, and at that price I can easily recommend it!!!
