An interactive game system, and associated method, comprises a control system 10 that allows simultaneous telephonic communication with a plurality of contestants to supply a task to the contestants. The control system 10 further allows: the identification of each contestant from information gained from each contestant's telephone; the receiving and recognising of a response to the task from each contestant; the judging of whether the response is correct; the recording of the time taken to answer the question by each contestant; the association of each contestant with their response time and placing the contestants in rank order depending on the time taken to complete the task. The task may be broadcast to the contestants either audibly, by radio 28, or visually, by television 26. The task is preferably a multiple-choice question, the answers to which are associated with a key of the telephone equipment 18, or an ordering task. The contestants may be identified by the incoming subscriber number, by entering their telephone number or by pre-registering and being supplied a personal identification number. The system may disconnect contestant who fail to complete the task by a prescribed period or complete the task incorrectly. |
