The question on the TV, four big answer buttons on your phone, 20 seconds on the clock. Fast correct answers score more, streaks earn a bonus – and the leaderboard after each question shows who’s catching up.
Pick Quiz Night when you want to test each other’s knowledge in about ten minutes.
Little Max
Roll, peek, announce – and feel free to lie. The next player believes you or calls your bluff, and whoever’s wrong loses a life. The dice live on your phone, so no cup and no cheating.
Pick Little Max when you’re a sociable bunch who likes putting on a poker face.
