NOTE: Before contacting us, please make sure you have referred to our FAQ section as your question may have already been answered there! As Stephen moved away from Children’s TV to become one of the most prominent and regular primetime TV hosts, we decided to start a new company and re-engage in this market.

In this podcast series you’ll hear from offenders, the police, crime experts and investigators as we delve into the workings of the criminal mind. We realised that not everybody could come up with their own false answers… We needed to provide sample false answers for each question – that was the biggest challenge by far. The stuffed animal could preferably have been double bagged inside the packaging though, since the package had a small rip and thus the toy was in risk of damage.

The informative, witty, conversational, argumentative board game based on James O’Brien’s Mystery Hour. I can’t help but feel that such a penalty or at least a roster of QI-esque general ignorance no no answers would be welcome. The James O’Brien Mystery Hour Game features 250 questions – like ‘Why don’t Cadbury Flakes melt in the microwave? This makes committing to answers for 3 points not as high stakes as it seems - a big payoff, but little to lose by sticking your head above the parapet.

Shelagh Fogarty began her LBC career as a guest presenter in 2014, and her balanced and calm presenting style soon earned her a permanent role. Contents include 250 questions with correct and false answers (players can devise their own answers for extra points). We’re thrilled to take all LEGO and board game fans on this gaming journey, combining the LEGO Group’s timeless creativity with our passion and expertise in board games,” said Birgitte Bülow, leader of the LEGO board game creation team at Asmodee.Our group did spot one glaring omission in the rules though: there is no penalty attached to incorrectly guessing an answer before the correct and false answers are revealed.

Replayability is always a consideration before deciding to invest time and money in any board game and I can hear the inevitable cries re how much worth the game will have once all the cards have been revealed. Enjoyed this because you don't need to be really in the know about politics, sports, general affairs, science etc, although the questions do cover all these topics. It was actually Stephen that introduced us to James O’Brien, and it was coincidental that our team are all avid listeners to his LBC radio show, enjoying The Mystery Hour every Thursday at 12.The objective is to get the other players to believe your own false answers to gain maximum points, while answering questions correctly yourself.
