The developer Puzzle.TV created challenging questions, but every ounce of the execution is deeply flawed to the core. There are three games that feature different types of questions, but the experience is the same no matter what."
WorthPlaying writes: "Games based on TV shows are quite normal nowadays. What isn't so common is a game based on an entire network. Even with some specialty networks, it seems easier and more logical to base a game on one aspect of the network or a recognizable show rather than the whole thing. That doesn't mean that it doesn't happen, however, as evidenced by last year's Food Network: Cook or Be Cooked, which used the network's focus on cooking and applied it to the cooking game genre well enough to be considered decent."
