BAMBOOZLE! - THE CULT QUIZ
If you grew up in the UK in the 80s or 90s, chances are you spent hours playing Bamboozle. This simple quiz game, hidden within Teletext, became a cult phenomenon.
HOW IT WORKED
Navigate to page 152 (or press the Bamboozle button if your TV had one). Answer multiple choice questions using the coloured buttons on your remote - Red, Green, Yellow, or Blue. Each correct answer led to a new page; wrong answers sent you back.
THE CHARACTERS
Bamber the friendly monster guided you through the quiz. Different themed quizzes featured various hosts and mascots, all rendered in glorious 8-colour teletext graphics. The ASCII art was surprisingly charming.
THE ADDICTION
There was something deeply satisfying about completing a Bamboozle quiz. The slow page loads, the anticipation of each question, the simple joy of pressing coloured buttons. It was gaming before gaming went online.
MODERN TRIBUTES
QFAX includes a daily "Badger" game on Page 393, inspired by the quiz culture of teletext. Same coloured buttons, same nostalgic feeling, but with football trivia. It's our love letter to Bamboozle.
RELIVE THE NOSTALGIA
QFAX brings back the teletext experience for modern football fans. Live scores on PAGE 316, Vidiprinter on PAGE 350, and the daily Badger game on PAGE 393. Download now and step back in time.
