Buzz Goes Back To School News

SCEE and Relentless Software confirms the development of a new Buzz quiz aimed directly at UK primary schools.
Having built up a burgeoning franchise in the past year, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe and Relentless Software have today announced the development of Buzz: The Schools Quiz, aimed at Key Stage 2 children (ages 7-11) in UK primary schools.
Featuring over 5,000 questions across subjects as varied as 'The Weather' to 'Ancient Egypt', The Schools Quiz will include new controls for teachers, such as the ability to set single-subject quizzes. A version of the game will be demonstrated at BETT, an educational technology show, at Olympia in London between January 10th-13th, before going on trial.
David Amor, Creative Director and co-Founder of Relentless said, "We're incredibly excited about this project. Using the buzzers and the quiz format means the game is instantly accessible - and works on the basis that kids learn more when they're having fun. Learning games like this will, we hope, give teachers an extra tool in the classroom."
"Buzz has proven itself a hugely successful family home entertainment franchise for over 750,000 UK PlayStation owners, said Ray Maguire, Managing Director for Sony Computer Entertainment UK. "Taking this proven format into the educational sector with brand new curriculum-relevant content created by teachers seems a potent new addition to the teacher's portfolio"
If the trial proves to be a success, Buzz: The Schools Quiz will be available to buy from ConnectED and Boomerang IRM from this summer.
