About this deal

Loved this Keith Haring toy, it engrossed my 4 year old just as much as it fascinated me - hours of fun, and it looks so good too. Our group of three were keen not to let these early setbacks dampen our expectations of the game, and we were subsequently pleased with the quick set up and speedy explanation of the rules. As our group played, it became clear that some of the cards are very subjective in their wording (“Does mixing drinks get you drunk faster?

Please ensure you have read and understood our Privacy Policy and our Prize Provider’s Privacy Policy before entering any Promotion.In contrast to the disconnect many felt at this time, Mystery Hour almost felt like a greatest hits album of humanity: strangers from across the nation coming together for an hour a week, irrespective of political leanings and grievances, to learn from each other. Every week, James enlists the help of LBC listeners to solve the questions you’ve always wondered the answer to. I can’t help but feel that such a penalty or at least a roster of QI-esque general ignorance no no answers would be welcome. In this new podcast series, Hunting Ghislaine, reporter John Sweeney investigates a fairy story which happens the wrong way round, of how a princess ends up accused of being the monster and no-one at all ends up happily ever after.

The objective of the Mystery Hour board game is to convince other players with a plausible false answer whilst answering other players questions correctly.

The winning entrant will be contacted by one of our representatives via telephone on the telephone number on which they entered.If you’re a pedant, surely a yes or no should be enough to get points here, as it doesn’t ask you to justify anything).

We realised that not everybody could come up with their own false answers… We needed to provide sample false answers for each question – that was the biggest challenge by far. In accordance with Clause 19 below, in these circumstances, we reserve the right to substitute the prize with another prize of equal or greater value at our absolute discretion.

You know, I’ve played the game many times during the testing process and it’s crazy… Even though I was involved in the development, if repeat questions come up, I still can’t remember the real answers! The Mystery Hour Board Game won’t change the world but for fans of trivia or those simply looking for a casual family game that will teach you interesting things and ignite discussion, this game certainly deserves a round of applause. If nothing else, this would serve as the closest thing to James O’Brien himself giving you a robust dressing down live on air for ringing in with an uninformed answer which cannot be substantiated and which you refuse accept as incorrect.

This is a really great game for all the family, I was a bit worried that my 10 year old daughter wouldn't be able to play but it's been thought out really well so pretty much anyone can play! The game has long been coveted as a weekly prize for best answer and proof of credentials- the radio trivia equivalent to the Countdown teapot, but thankfully much more readily available. That subsequent winner must respond within 24 hours of the time of which they are notified, or they will also forfeit the prize. There's one thing that's sure - you will know more by the time you've finished a game of the Mystery Hour board game than you do now!
