Description

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.

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! 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!

Pop It Master is created by Rad Brothers. This is their first game on Poki! How do you play Pop It Fidget Games?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. 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.

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!In the advanced version, the gameplay is the same except the players can only POP bubbles in a row that are directly next to each other without any popped bubbles in between.

The incredibly cheesy jingle that for a while was played when players successfully completed Three In Ten. We miss that.The quiz became something of a flagship feature for Radio 2. In 2019, the We Stop for Popmaster Tour took the show on the road for a week (even though Popmaster itself was conducted with phone-in contestants as usual) and Spring Bank Holiday 2020 saw an "All Day Popmaster" competition with members of the public playing against DJs - surprisingly, from both BBC and independent radio. There was another All Day event (with members of the public versus TV quizmasters and chasers) on Spring Bank Holiday 2021, along with a documentary marking (er) 23-and-a-bit years of the quiz. In addition, the previous Friday saw a rematch for the first ever contestants. In 2022 the all-day event became "Platinum Popmaster" to mark the Queen's jubilee, with the celebrity contestants being platinum-selling pop stars. Bruce has also done the quiz as a non-broadcast live event for Children in Need. Ken announced on 17 January 2023 that he was leaving BBC Radio 2 at the end of March. His new show on Greatest Hits Radio began at the start of April, and Popmaster went with him. The same week that the quiz made its GHR debut, 12Yard announced it was making a television version for More4, which duly appeared for what might be characterised as a pilot series less than thee months later. 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". 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”! 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.
