Outsmarted! is one of those rare games that feels like it was created with modern families in mind. Set it up once and your living room will quickly turn into a lively quiz show, complete with fast decisions, tense countdowns and the kind of friendly competition that will have everyone – from your youngest players to competitive grown-ups – completely hooked. It has all the energy of a TV gameshow, but with the simplicity of a family board game you’ll reach for again and again.

One of the biggest strengths of Outsmarted! is how well it adapts to different ages and abilities. You can set each player’s age so the questions match their level, meaning younger children actually stand a chance while older players stay challenged. If someone needs a little extra help, you can give them more time on the clock or add assists. It keeps the game fair and fun, and it means everyone stays involved right to the end.

The versatility continues with how you play. You can add remote players from anywhere in the world, letting grandparents, friends or cousins join the fun straight from their phones or tablets. You can even play the entire game remotely without the physical board if you want a virtual games night, as long as one of you owns the game. It’s flexible, modern and perfect for families who aren’t always in the same place.

Outsmarted! also offers something genuinely exciting: the chance to win real prizes through The Golden Question. After completing a game, you unlock a Golden Question opportunity. First, you spin the prize wheel to reveal what you could win, then answer one final question to claim it. There are over 500,000 prizes waiting to be won worldwide, from gift vouchers at Hotel Chocolat, Nando’s, VUE Cinema and Amazon to exclusive Outsmarted! goodies and even cash prizes of up to £1,000. With more than £2 million worth of prizes available, it adds a thrilling, gameshow-style ending every time.

Fun, inclusive and packed with replay value, Outsmarted! is the kind of game that will quickly become a family favourite. Whether you’re gathered in the same room or playing from different corners of the country, it brings everyone together for a gameshow experience you’ll want to revisit again and again.
