Buzzer! is a 2 player split screen Music Quiz for iPhone/iTouch versions (2.0+)

Buzzer! randomly selects sync’d music from your iPhone/iTouch library for all of the 6 different Music Rounds. These consist of:

  • Round 1: Guess the Artist?
    Random track played with four possible Artists 
  • Round 2: Guess the Association?
    Random track played with four answers (mixture of Artist, Title and Album)
  • Round 3: Guess the Artwork?
    An Album image is slowly revealed with four possible Albums
  • Round 4: Guess the Title?
    Random track played but with sound chopped up and four possible Titles
  • Round 5: From which Album?
    Random track Title is played with four possible Albums 
  • Round 6: Random Question
    Random question played from the above 5 Rounds

Game Play

Once the game has started you will see a timer displayed in the top left hand corner. This will slowly disappear during a question as time runs out and will refill after the question ends, providing a brief pause.

Once a question starts the buttons are made active. Player 1 must use the left side of the screen while the right is for Player 2. After a selection has been made the appropriate buttons are deactivated until next question.

Scoring

Players are scored as follows:

  • If both players are correct the first player will receive more points
  • From Round 2 onwards players will receive minus points for wrong answers
  • Players will receive higher points for answering questions quickly

Settings

Before a game begins you can modify the game settings these include:

  • Number of Rounds in the game ( 1 to 6 )
  • Number of Questions per Round ( 1 to 15 )
  • Time to answer each question: In seconds ( 5 to 15 )
  • Pause time between each question: In seconds ( 2 to 8 )
