About this deal

Pop It Master is created by Rad Brothers. This is their first game on Poki! How do you play Pop It Fidget Games? The next player will choose any one row that has any unpopped bubbles and POP as many as they want in that row only. All players answer standard questions and move up the board one space for every correct answer given. Answer incorrectly, and you must stay where you are! During a period from July 2007 to January 2008 when all BBC phone-in quizzes were suspended due to mismanagement and defrauding the public, Popmaster was played using celebrity contestants. The first (and indeed, only) celeb to score maximum points was Richard Drummie from the aforementioned Go West - and what made this particularly impressive is that he did it without the outrageous giveaway clues Ken usually dished out to the celebrity players. For some obscure reason, people on the BBC staff were not allowed to appear but those who worked for the corporation as freelancers could - so Charles Nove was roped in as a contestant, but fellow R2 newsreader Fran Godfrey was barred. Put your chart music knowledge to the ultimate test with the official Popmaster Board Game. Based on the iconic Popmaster quiz – the cornerstone of the Ken Bruce national radio show for over two decades!

The incredibly cheesy jingle that for a while was played when players successfully completed Three In Ten. We miss that. Set up the game board, give each player a set of answer tokens and place the playing pieces on the board. Shuffle the question cards and place them on the table. Battle it out in the multiple-choice questions by answering questions from across the decades. Earn more points in the bonus rounds and see if you have what it takes to make it to the final round where Ken himself will ask you the 3-in-10 question. Each player is dealt 2 bonus question cards and asks the player to their left to choose which of the two categories they want as their bonus round questions. Players will continue taking turns until one player is forced to POP the last bubble. That player loses the round, but don't worry! Flip the board and start over. The first player to win three rounds is the winner.Scan the QR code on the 3-in-10 question card with a smart device, grab a pen and pencil, and write down your 3 answers out of the 10 given before the time runs out! The player who gets the most correct answers in the 3-in-10 question wins and is crowned POPMASTER! Press the digital winner’s button to hear a message from Ken himself! Please also allow for delays during busier festive periods where delivery times could be much longer. When you reach a bonus round, players ask the player to their left the corresponding bonus question, and if a correct answer is given, players move up the board. On 29 January 2021, winning contestant Shar Doherty used her "shout outs" to propose to her boyfriend. She later said that she'd been inspired to do it after hearing the "interval" song in Popmaster that day: as part of a musicals theme day, Ken had played Stanley Holloway singing "Get Me to the Church on Time" from My Fair Lady.

Get your family and friends together and put them (and yourself) in the hot seat to see who will become the champion of the official Popmaster Board Game. Just like the radio show, simply answer multiple questions and hope you’re not “one year out”! Long-running Ken Bruce pop music quiz on Radio 2, and easily the best thing on in daytime on that station. Relaunched as "New Popmaster" in 2002(?) with a new "specialist subjects" twist whereby three of the questions are on a subject selected from a choice of two (originally three) and worth double points. In the early days there were often quite specific subjects (on a particular artist or genre) in the selection; nowadays these are rarer and the subjects tend to be pretty wide-ranging, like songs with colours in the title, "female singers" (so that'll be about half of all solo artists ever, then) and the much-hated "Name the Year".Two contestants face ten questions each, highest score on the day wins. The scoring was originally 3 points for a correct answer and 1 for a partially-correct answer, with a "bonus" question whereby the contestant chose a number from 1 to 10 and when that question came up it was worth double points. Players will take turns to choose on row and POP as many bubbles as they want (in that row only). You can pop a bubble by using a mouse or touchscreen. Once you have played all 10 rounds, the two players with the highest score go through to the final round. The iconic 3-in-10 question from Ken Bruce himself! and various stand-ins including Mark Goodier, Richard Allinson, Stuart Maconie, Alex Lester, Gary Davies, Dermot O'Leary, Charles Nove, Aled Jones, Simon Mayo, Rob Brydon, Zoe Ball, Claudia Winkleman, Trevor Nelson, Scott Mills, etc.)
