Apparently the servers are down. We purchased it to play for Christmas Day 🤦🏻‍♀️

We were playing it an hour or so ago and it was working fine until it kicked one of us out and we couldn’t get back in

MissCalamity · 25/12/2024 17:59

Just been trying to set it up and it kept freezing. Bit frustrating but we have other games to play, we'll try again tomorrow!

OrangeBlossom28 · 25/12/2024 18:06

We played this afternoon and had no problems at all. Sounds like we finished early enough not to be affected by it.

DustyMaiden · 25/12/2024 18:09

Purchased it but not tried yet.

lemonsmum · 25/12/2024 18:12

Same keep trying to set it up but keeps freezing

xyz111 · 25/12/2024 18:24

I came on to ask just this!

I’ve been banging on about how good it is…and then it wouldn’t load 🤦🏽‍♀️😂 checked their website and, yes, the servers are down. I feel sorry for the people working on Christmas Day to resolve it. We went for a nice walk instead. Hopefully it’ll be back on later!

No playing 'phantoms hour' a locked in game for the TV. It's fab.

AndSoFinally · 25/12/2024 19:27

Ha! I think it's probably all the mumsnetters who purchased it for Christmas Day 😂

callmebuffy · 25/12/2024 19:31

So fed up. Christmas afternoon was planned around this game. It's still down 2 hours after we first tried.

littlemisspickles · 25/12/2024 19:35

Such a shame this still happens. We've had it since the launch and have learned not to even attempt on days like today or New Years.

I got this but we opted to play 1% club instead. Glad we did now.

Bologneselove · 25/12/2024 21:47

Played it for around 3 hours today from around 3pm without any issues. Great fun.

Ceecee2483 · 25/12/2024 21:48

It’s still down now at 21.48, so frustrating!! 😫

Huskytrot · 25/12/2024 22:26

We got it last Xmas... why is it suddenly so popular this year?

Played 1% club this afternoon

flouncymcflouncerson · 25/12/2024 22:40

We bought it for Xmas day too and but disappointed. We’ve played game of life and blokus so really wanted to play it now :(

Jonidancer · 25/12/2024 22:56

We tried to play this evening (Christmas night) with family and it wouldn’t work. Probably too many people trying to play at the same time but not ideal if you had planned to play as a family. Disappointing.

Timfrompuyallup · 25/12/2024 23:25

Same. Can't get on the servers

TyneTeas · 25/12/2024 23:27

We opened it early and played it loads at the weekend

It's a shame they have had this capacity issue.

It is really good and worth trying again when everyone isn't trying to play all at once

Exactly the same pure disappointment for Christmas Day!!!!

Frightenedbunny · 25/12/2024 23:42

Purchased it as it appealed to all ages and thought it would be entertaining to the grandparents but couldn’t get on line. Very disappointing.

mnahmnah · 26/12/2024 09:03

Just a little warning for when you do get to play - the adult questions are pretty easy. I only got one or two wrong (about sport, which I know zero on). Which spoilt it a little. But still a good game!

lemonsmum · 26/12/2024 09:08

Looks like it might be working this morning however I'm in bed and nobody is here.🤞 It doesn't get busy when we try later. It's good to know@littlemisspickles that it is a usual problem for holidays and does work normally. I was thinking there might be alot returned/on vinted otherwise.
