Some plans just pop up on their own in the WhatsApp group, and BuzzAttack is one of them: the sheer FOMO of competing with your friends does the trick all on its own. We arrived at the Chamberí studio without really knowing what to expect, and an hour later we left convinced that we’ve been underestimating our knowledge of TV, memes, and pop culture for far too many years . Or overestimating it, depending on the quiz.
The experience lasts 60 minutes, each room holds up to 12 people, and before starting, each participant chooses three topics they want the questions to cover. That’s when the negotiation begins. We went with *The Simpsons*, current memes, and the hottest TV shows and movies of the moment, so between rounds there were references to *Stranger Things*, *The Devil Wears Prada*, and things that only make sense if you’ve spent way too many hours on TikTok. Which is exactly the kind of knowledge you never thought would actually be useful for anything.

What you’ll find when you arrive at BuzzAttack
As soon as you walk in, there’s a small lounge where you can grab a drink while you wait for the session to start, with snacks and drinks to get you warmed up. But what really sets the mood is the room itself: huge, with photos of iconic Spanish TV hosts everywhere. That’s when it clicks, and you realize exactly what this is all about. It’s not just an escape room with trivia questions. It’s a tribute to classic television, and you can tell that from the very first moment.
Then they usher you into the studio: lecterns, spotlights, a spinning wheel. The set looks like a real TV game show, not some birthday party prop. “This isn’t just a trivia game—it’s a real TV set,” we thought. And we weren’t far off.
An AI host guides the entire session, explains the challenges, and keeps track of the time. It feels a little strange for the first thirty seconds, but then you completely forget that it’s not a real person— it feels just like Arturo Valls himself.
The best part of the experience
BuzzAttack isn’t a trivia game with generic Wikipedia questions: the topics you choose actually show up, mixed in with the different rounds, and that’s what makes the game feel like your own.
The music round was the one that generated the most screams. You recognize the first two chords of a song, you know exactly what it is, you open your mouth… and your brain goes blank. Your teammates look at you. The timer keeps ticking. In between, there were music videos that only make sense if you’ve spent way too many hours on TikTok, and songs that are part of the collective memory of anyone who’s watched *Stranger Things* or *The Avengers* more than once.
Then came Jeopardy, which is where your confidence starts to waver. All the categories have somewhat ambiguous point values. We lost points in that round. We’re not going to say how many.
General knowledge is the round that levels the playing field the most, because there’s always that capital city everyone forgets or that historical date that trips everyone up—no matter how many episodes of *Citadel* or *Avengers: Doomsday* you’ve watched. And just when the group thinks they’ve got the standings under control, *WipeOut* kicks in: a category pops up, and you have to quickly eliminate the options that don’t belong to it. There’s no time to think here, and even if your team was in first place, it can just as easily end up last in the standings. That’s exactly what happened to us.
Is it worth it?
We left BuzzAttack an hour later with the rankings settled, a few scores still to settle, and the certainty that we’ve spent far too many years watching TV from the couch. If your group has even one person who thinks they know more than everyone else, BuzzAttack is the way to go. Because the spotlights, the timer, and the wheel are unforgiving.
Who is BuzzAttack for?
For any group looking for something more than just dinner or drinks but without the hassle of organizing it. With lifelong friends, it’s like a pop quiz on collective memory: references from several generations pop up, along with TV catchphrases and general knowledge we all studied together in school—making it clear who was actually paying attention and who had been bluffing for years.
It’s perfect for bachelor and bachelorette parties, especially in “Quiz Gamberro” mode with its subtle dark humor and funny situations. And for team-building events, too—without falling into clichés: the time limit at the end forces you to coordinate with the rest of the team, and the division of roles falls into place naturally under pressure.
