Pass The Bomb – The player must answer a question correctly to pass the bomb away to another player. The one holding the bomb when it explodes loses a certain number of points. The game debuted in the top 20 on the United Kingdom's video game chart and climbed into the top10, before a steep decline caused it to leave the charts. Relentless was at that point working on Buzz! The Big Quiz and received a call from Sony saying that The Big Quiz could likely be the last in the series. However, The Music Quiz returned to the top 20 during the Christmas and New Year holiday period. According to Relentless creative director David Amor, the game's peak sales occurred in the week after Christmas. [10] a b c Hill, Jason (October 31, 2006). "Buzz Junior: Jungle Party".

Junior series For those who might have yet to own a PS2, PS3 or PS Portable, Buzz! was a series of quiz games initiated by Sleepydog Ltd, developed by Restless Software, and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. The game was a TV quiz show-type game where players answered trivia questions while competing in Buzz!, a fictional game show hosted by the titular game show host, Buzz (voiced by Jason Donovan in the English versions of the games). The game was created with multiplayer party gaming in mind, like most trivia games. Buzz and the Buzz!

If you don't have 100 million consoles [as PS2 did when Buzz! first arrived], you don't have a broad-enough demographic to want our kind of game. Of course the idea was to bring the broad games straight to PlayStation 3 in the launch window, to try and attract that demographic. a b c d Kautz, Paul (26 October 2005). "Test: Buzz!
