About this deal

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 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. 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! 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".

The incredibly cheesy jingle that for a while was played when players successfully completed Three In Ten. We miss that. BBC Radio 2, 16 February 1998 to 3 March 2023 (as part of The Ken Bruce Show; approx. 6350 episodes) 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!

Each player is dealt 2 bonus question cards and asks the player to their left to choose which of the two categories they want as their bonus round questions. The pilot TV series aired 8pm Monday to Friday with the final the following Monday, which had the effect of sidestepping any potential clash with The Hit List on Saturday, and reruns of Pop Quiz on BBC Four on Sunday. Though if that was the reason, they needn't have worried - firstly because it turned out that The Hit List aired much earlier in the evening that week, and BBC Four didn't put Pop Quiz on at all, and secondly because Popmaster proved an even bigger hit than anyone expected, easily beating More4's slot average every night across the week. Set up the game board, give each player a set of answer tokens and place the playing pieces on the board. Shuffle the question cards and place them on the table. Use collapsible tabs for more detailed information that will help customers make a purchasing decision. Long-running Ken Bruce pop music quiz on Radio 2, and easily the best thing on in daytime on that station.

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.On 29 January 2021, winning contestant Shar Doherty used her "shout outs" to propose to her boyfriend. She later said that she'd been inspired to do it after hearing the "interval" song in Popmaster that day: as part of a musicals theme day, Ken had played Stanley Holloway singing "Get Me to the Church on Time" from My Fair Lady. 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. 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. 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! Please also allow for delays during busier festive periods where delivery times could be much longer.
