From the Studio
This fully interactive game is based on the BBC2 panel show hosted by Stephen Fry. With team or one player options, the object of the game is to progress without falling into the trap of selecting the obvious, yet wrong answer. At the end of the game there is even the chance to win a real prize by logging online. QI Interactive includes many clips and stills on which the questions are based with Stephen Fry delivering the questions, rewards and penalties in his own inimitable style.
The QI DVD is quite simply the most quite interesting quiz you will ever play. In the large but velvety hands of your QI Minotaur, Stephen Fry, you enter a dark mental maze filled with mystical beasts: singing dogs & cat burglars; Lord Byron's rampant nanny & Adam's flannel. You will also meet Woonsocket. The objective is to complete seven linked strands of around fifty questions each. Hidden at the end of each thread is a reward in the form of a secret letter. You must collect all these letters, a full complement of which forms an anagram. This acts as a key, gaining you access to the inner sanctum of QI where you may befriend the QI elves and win a chance at the coveted title of QI Master itself. Questions are multiple choice and must be answered correctly in order to trigger the next question. If you answer wrongly you will get one last chance before being sent back in disgrace to the beginning of the thread.

Format:DVD
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.

Love the show, love Fry, but feel a bit conned into buying this DVD. Why? The Amazon review states "With team or one player options" - not so! OK, so there could be 1 or 100 people answering the questions, but there is no "team" option. I bought this to entertain my dad while he recovered from an operation - intending it to be a family game with 2 or 3 teams.
The quiz itself is thoroughly entertaining, and I am now bursting with quite interesting, sublimely useless, information.
Entertaining, but don't buy it as a game with teams!

If,like me, you are an annoying little oik with more brain cells than friends you will adore this chance to further alienate yourself to those few chums you actually still retain
Some of the questions appear at first glance to be quite stright forward, however there is a sting in the tail. Several questions actually have more than one answer and failure to select the required one will send you down a long dark path to oblivion (or at least back to the start of the thread). As there are numerous posers that are only available on your way to these cul-de-sacs of the damned you will find yourself playing on even after completing the main task just to find these tiny morsels of interest.
On a presentation note, Stephen Fry is,as usual, impressive in his manner and has recorded many humourous clips advising you of your utter idiocy.
In conclusion this is definately the DVD to purchase for the nerd in your life.

It's OK...
This is a disc that I do want to like, but I must confess to being a little disappointed. It is the kind of thing that, unless you are very deeply into QI, you might want to dip... Read more
