 Very Interesting! October 10, 2008
D. Wright (Scotland)
I found this DVD game to be a lot of fun. Yes, it can be frustrating when you accidently stumble into a cul-de-sac by giving a correct but boring answer but if that is enough to frustrate you perhaps you should instead go to bed early with a milky drink forthwith ....
Play along, learn, laugh and enjoy.
 An immensely enjoyable quiz marred by a fatal flaw. December 11, 2006

This interactive quiz is seemingly a great conversion of the show to the DVD game format. The questions are all asked by Stephen Fry in full video, the answers explained in a similar fashion. The writing and performance for all the questions (and the wrong and right answers) are very amusing and interesting, which would make this interactive DVD completely recommendable and an essential purchase.
BUT, the game itself has a fatal flaw built in. There are 7 categories with 50 questions to answer in each. When you get to the end of a category, if you've answered everything correctly, but on one or more questions you've not answered with the most interesting correct answer, you're sent back to do all 50 questions again! There's no indication as to which answers are teh most interesting as that's subjective and there's no audio or visual clue that you've done so, and answering the questions again is frustrating as this time around, the long, witty but unskippable speeches by Stephen Fry get in the way when you're trying to speed through the secion again.
This knocks 2 stars off the review for me, because the game is essentially broken and frustrating despinte the fantastic content.
 Quite Interesting and VERY addictive! November 1, 2006

I got this for Christmas last year and once I started I felt it EXTREMELY hard to put the DVD remote down once I started playing! It was very satisfying reaching the end, solving the anagram and getting congratulations on the QI website when I typed the correct solution in.
Did you know that there are 8 to 10 thousand known species of grass? That's just one of the many interesting (if not that useful) things you may well learn during your adventure through the 7 'threads' of the game.
The game is both enjoyable to play on your own or with family/friends.
A *must* buy for all QI fans!
 Quite disappointing July 22, 2006

Oh this could have been soooo good.
The TV show is wonderful; this is only interesting for a very short while. Having impossible questions makes this interactive DVD into a random guessing game, complete with 'dead-ends' where a previous question has two correct answers, requiring you to start from the beginning again.
It looks great for about 20 minutes, but then becomes very annoying.
 Stick with the TV show... April 4, 2006

Hmmmm. Well, I love QI, I really do. It's one of my favourite TV shows. However, I know I am not alone in thinking that DVDs containing QI episodes would be a much more worthwhile purchase. Unfortunately, for some bizarre reason, it looks like the series are not going to be released on DVD, so we have to make do with this.
Initially I was amused by Stephen Fry's banter and the typically quirky questions. However, I got quickly bored with this game. The questions are so difficult that I found myself guessing randomly every single time. Stephen also has a limited number of responses to getting a question wrong, which quickly gets annoying when you've heard him say "oh no, that's quite wrong," about ten times.The game might have been more enjoyable if you could compete in teams rather than on your own, if some of the questions were easier, and also if other QI regulars featured in the game. Only Stephen is used. The people who designed this game failed to recognise that the appeal of QI is not down to Stephen alone, as wonderful as he is. It is also due to the hilarious Alan Davies, as well as the numerous brilliant regulars such as Bill Bailey, Sean Locke and Rich Hall. It is a crime that none of these other great comedians got a look-in.
