The Bigr Show: Which is bigger? You make the call.

The Bigr Show is a trivia game show hosted by Max Bigley. Two contenders go head to head, a cheetah or a race car, the Eiffel Tower or a redwood, and you pick which is faster, taller, heavier or bigger. Then the real numbers are revealed side by side. There are 5,821 fact-checked questions in nine categories, a Daily Challenge for everyone in the world, and party modes for up to eight players. It was built for VoiceOver from the start.

The Bigr Show title screen: a marquee logo reading “The BIGR Show” between rows of stage lights, the line “Which is bigger? Which is faster? You make the call.”, a caption from host Max Bigley, “Welcome to The Bigr Show! I’m your host, Max Bigley. Two things enter. Only one is bigger!”, and buttons for Daily Challenge, Play Solo, Pass and Play and Play Nearby.

Who it’s for

The Bigr Show is for anyone who loves a good “wait, really?” fact.

  • Blind and low-vision players: every screen works with VoiceOver, Max’s voice is fully recorded, and his captions are always on.
  • Trivia fans who want a quick daily game: the Daily Challenge is the same ten questions for everyone, with Game Center leaderboards.
  • Families and friends: pass one iPhone or iPad around, or play together on up to eight devices in the same room.

Features

  • Two contenders, one winner

    Max asks the question out loud and on screen, “Which is faster?”, “Which is taller?”, “Which came first?”, and you pick one of two cards. Rounds are ten questions and start easy, then get closer as you go.

    Questions come from nine categories: Animals & Nature, Places & Structures, Space, Sports, Machines & Speed, Earth & Geography, History & Inventions, Food & Drink, and Big Numbers.

    A question in progress, Question 1 of 10. Max Bigley’s caption reads “It’s Head to Head! Two contenders, one winner. You pick it. Which number is bigger? Cups of spinach to eat 2,000 calories, or Saturn V rockets stacked to the top of Mount Everest?” Below the heading “Which number is bigger?” are two cards, “Cups of spinach to eat 2,000 calories, 1 cup, raw” and “Saturn V rockets stacked to the top of Mount Everest, stacked one on top of another”, with VS between them.

  • The real numbers, side by side

    After you pick, both numbers appear with bars to compare them, the winner is marked, and a line says by how much: “Canada has 15 times as many people as Osaka.”

    Every fact is checked against published sources, and shown in miles or kilometers to match your region.

    The answer revealed. Max says “Correct! The crowd goes wild!” The winning card, “Cups of spinach to eat 2,000 calories, 286”, has a full gold bar and Winner and Your pick badges; the other card, “Saturn V rockets stacked to the top of Mount Everest, 80”, has a short bar. A green box reads “Correct! +100 points. Cups of spinach to eat 2,000 calories outnumber Saturn V rockets stacked to the top of Mount Everest 3.6 to 1.” and a Next Question button sits below.

  • Big Numbers

    Which number is bigger: LEGO bricks to fill the Great Pyramid, or bricks in the Empire State Building? Giraffes stacked to the top of the Eiffel Tower, or keys on a piano?

    Hundreds of mind-bending counts, from travel times at top speed to stadiums full of people, each worked out from verified facts.

    A Big Numbers question. Max asks “Which number is bigger? Bricks for every Empire State Building window, or Celery stalks to match the calories in a blueberry muffin?” The two cards read “Bricks for every Empire State Building window, on average” and “Celery stalks to match the calories in a blueberry muffin, 1 medium stalk, raw, 40 g”, with VS between them.

  • Play together

    Pass and Play lets two to four people share one iPhone or iPad. Everyone picks in secret on their own turn, then all the answers are revealed at once with each player’s score.

    Play Nearby puts up to eight players on their own devices in the same room. The host shares a four-digit code, and the host’s device plays Max and the music for everyone.

    A Pass and Play reveal for the question “Which has more people?” Osaka, 2,752,412 people, has a short bar and Ada’s badge; Canada, 41,000,000 people, is marked Winner with Ben’s badge. Below, “Canada has 15 times as many people as Osaka.”, Ben with +100 and 100 points, Ada with 0, and a Next Question button.

  • Dynamic Type up to the largest accessibility sizes, with every screen still playable.
  • Reduce Motion and Increase Contrast, and answers marked with words and icons, not colour alone.
  • Designed for iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo, folded or open, with the game carrying on when you fold or unfold it.
