Hi everyone, I’m really happy to be able to tell you about an exciting new Buzz! quiz game we’re launching on Facebook today called ‘Buzz!: The Friend Quiz’.

Do you think you really know your Facebook friends? Buzz!: The Friend Quiz will help you find out by creating completely personalised quizzes from your shared photos, status updates, fan pages and more.

You can challenge your friends to single or multiple games to see who the best is. There are leaderboards for you to check your current ranking and a range of trophies to collect for great play, as well as message boards for each game you set up, so you can write as much smack-talk as you like!

Each quiz is 8 rounds long (up to 3 questions in each) and covers a different area of Facebook, so there are questions about which of your friends appears in a displayed photo, who wrote a particular comment on their profile, who posted the following link and more. Some of the answers about your friends can be very funny (and enlightening!)

I hope you’re all really going to enjoy it. The app is only in English right now, but we’re busy preparing the French, Italian, German and Spanish versions which will be ready before the end of this month; we’re hoping to add even more languages very soon too. Keep an eye here for more info soon.

Buzz!: The Friend Quiz has just gone live now on Facebook, so head over, try it out and let me know what you think!

(Please note: Buzz! The Friend Quiz is not compatible with the PS3, but works perfectly in any of your favourite PC browsers.)

Hello everyone from the Buzz! World Championships Grand Final!

We’ve come to the world-famous La Tomatina festival in Bunyol, Spain to find out which one of our 14 National Champions is going to win a fantastic MINI Clubman!

It’s been 5 months since we started the hunt for our first Buzz! World Champion, and have found our best 14 National players from over 8,000 contestants.

Our stage is ready to roll and later tonight, we’ll know our one final winner!

Our World Champion isn’t just going to be the proud owner of a new MINI. They’re also going to have the once-in-a-lifetime experience of starting the world’s biggest tomato fight at La Tomatina, tomorrow. If you haven’t heard of La Tomatina, it’s a massive throng of over 40,000 people (who’ll fill the empty street below!) throwing over 10 tonnes of tomatoes in a one-hour frenzy!

Last night stage two of Buzz! Brain of the world was held in the UK. The top Brainiacs from all over the UK made their way to London to compete for the Buzz! Brain of the UK crown. Contestants flew in from every corner of the UK including Belfast, Glasgow, Bangor, even the Isle of Man and they all came head strong, ready to battle it out to the very end.

With a few unfortunately unable to attend at the last minute due to sickness the night began with three rounds of Buzz! seeing each contestant play for a place in the semi finals. Only two from each group could go through and after a nail biting couple of rounds our semi finalists were whittled down to the FINAL FOUR.

The final four consisted of Andrew, Ian, Glen and Tony of whom you can see below in the final photo. It was a nail biting finish and the final countdown round proved that anything could happen as the contestants podiums constantly fluctuated in height, battling for that place in the World Final.

We’d like to congratulate Ian for winning stage two and being crowned Buzz! Brain of the UK. We, the UK team, would like to wish Ian all the best in the World final, we know you can do it! Go and make us proud Ian

A huge thank you must also go out to all the contestants that came to the event and competed. We hope you all had a great time.

Hi, I’m Susana Martin, PR manager for SCE Spain, here to tell you all about our recent Buzz! addicts meeting in Spain!

The event was held in an old food market in Madrid city centre last Saturday 18 of July. The finalists were the best Spanish players from the first round of the World Championships competition held in May, and played through Buzz!TM ¿Qué sabes de tu país? online on PlayStation Network.

The finalists, aged from 18 to 48, met last Saturday face to face for the first time with the aim to become the Spanish national Buzz! champion. After a really close competition, Juan María –36 years old and native of Madrid- prevailed over the rest of competitors in the very last minute of the last round minute.

He will be the one to represent Spain at the Buzz! : World Championships Grand Final that will take place on the 25th and 26th of August at a very special location. We wish Juan María the best of luck for the big day!
