Shopping with Outsmarted
Who it suits best
Outsmarted works well for mixed-age groups, because the game sets difficulty by player age rather than asking everyone the same questions. If your family ranges from primary school children to adults, this is the feature that most changes the experience. Groups of adults only may find the age-based split less relevant, though the question range still covers varied topics.
Check the device setup
The game uses a phone, tablet or laptop to run the show, and the listing highlights remote play, so friends and family can join from elsewhere. Confirm that your chosen device works for hosting before you buy, and think about whether everyone will be in the same room or spread across locations.
Look at the question content
The official listing describes a large bank of multimedia questions covering images, song clips and video, along with topical content updates. Think about which subjects your group enjoys, then check the add-on categories and the question store, since some extra categories are offered at low cost. Free add-on categories are also mentioned, so you can test the core game before paying for more.
Delivery and returns
The site states that orders include free tracked delivery and that the delivery time is typically three or four working days, so plan for that if it is a gift. Check the shipping address at checkout, because an incorrect address means a replacement or refund may not be possible. Returns are limited: opened games can't be returned, goods must be in the same condition as received, and up to 50% may be deducted from a refund.
