Beat The Geek Released

Quiz DVD out now. Get competitive! Pick up bonuses! Win a huge chunk of cash!

20 October, 2006

Red Dwarf: Beat the Geek. It's not just an interactive DVD experience, it's a whole new way of life.

Out in the UK on October 23rd - shopping links available here - this is so much more than just a set of Dwarfy questions. It's an extension of, and companion to, the entire franchise. Here are the highlights:

Both Norman Lovett and Hattie Hayridge return as Holly in a brand new collection of informative and hilarious material.

Deluxe Digital have created a wooshy 3D Red Dwarf environment in which the game takes place. Journey from the bowels of the ship to the captain's office, taking in key show locations like the Observation Dome, sleeping quarters, medi-bay and The Tank.

Three player modes. You can play as a Red Dwarf Geek, of course (they're our favourites), or a casual Viewer if that's more your speed. But if you don't know the show, you can always answer general knowledge questions. It's just as much fun!

Single or multi-player? Play on your own, against a friend, or in two teams. Can a family of General Knowledge players beat the family Geek?

Five bonus games. Unlockable bonuses - including 'Whack-a-Flibble' and a Polymorph memory game!

Booklet. Handy hints, useful notes, plus a place to keep a record of your scores. Oh, and a page of never before revealed facts.

Buy your DVD from play.com now and pick the special edition version with Duane Dibbley headknocker! These are very limited in number, so get in quick.

Alternatively, why not pop to your local Virgin Megastore for their exclusive free poster edition?

Saving the best for last, though - fancy winning £5,000? So do we, but sadly we're not eligible to enter the almighty Geek Chase competition.

It's an online treasure hunt which begins with a flyer placed inside every DVD, and ends with one lucky player swanning off with a great wodge of cash.

GNP have created a number of original websites, all set within the show's fictional universe and featuring some wicked fanboy touches. Still, you don't need to know anything about the show to play - just follow the clues, play the games, enter the codes to be in with a chance of the prize.

Oh, and really-finally-finally - check out the Downloads section for our exclusive downloadable wallpaper. Have Duane being whacked by the Hollys on your desktop today!

Go mad, go crazy, go geeky for Beat the Geek - it's out now!

Red Dwarf: Beat the Geek is released on Monday, October 23rd. Buy it now, or visit our DVD Details production diary.
