Buzz! The Schools Quiz

Buzz! The Schools Quiz

The hugely popular, BAFTA-award winning Buzz! is back – Following the phenomenal success of trial research in the classroom.

PlayStation® is at the forefront of social gaming and Buzz! The Schools Quiz combines player interaction within an educational setting exclusively for PlayStation®2.

Based on the hugely successful Buzz! In Schools game which was used in schools with exclusive Key Stage 2 National Curriculum content. Developed earlier this year by BAFTA award winners, Relentless Software, and the DFES (Department for Education and Skills) the new game is set to be a big hit for everyone to enjoy.

Buzz! The Schools Quiz is presented in the format of a TV quiz show with a variety of game modes including Teacher Control which allows the supervisor to dictate the pace. Over 5,000 questions, all written by teachers are accessible and cover English, Maths, Science, History, Geography, RE, French and Spanish. In addition the game provides a function to play quizzes enabling specific coverage of classroom topics with questions arranged into specific year groups, allowing for pupils to recap material from the previous year or advance at their pace.

David Amor, Creative Director at Relentless said, “Buzz! The Schools Quiz works on the basis that kids learn more when they’re having fun. Learning games like this will, we hope, supplement normal teaching and is an extra tool in the classroom.”

Schools are increasingly looking into new technologies and the digital world to enhance interactivity in the classroom. The visual and instant feedback that computer games give means that the role of the console is changing to meet new requirements and demands in areas previously untouched.
