The Chase: Ultimate Edition

Step into the hit ITV quiz show with genuine questions and all six official Chasers.

Faithful Recreation of the TV Show

The Chase: Ultimate Edition brings the iconic excitement and competitive spirit of the hit British TV quiz show to Android devices. Players can expect a direct digital adaptation, capturing the game’s structure and tension with impressive accuracy. From the authentic likenesses of The Menace, The Vixen, and the rest of the formidable Chasers, to the running commentary by Bradley Walsh, the app makes you feel like a true contestant on set.

Gameplay and Features

At its core, the app mirrors the well-known format: start with the Cash Builder, then advance to the head-to-head Chase, and finally attempt to secure winnings in The Final Chase. Up to four participants can enjoy the experience using one device, or go head-to-head with the Play as the Chaser mode using two devices.

The app includes over 4,500 challenging questions spanning general knowledge, with the option to add themed question packs focused on Sport, Music, or TV & Film. Each Chaser is equipped with AI that reflects their real-life strengths and weaknesses, resulting in a challenge that fans of the show will find both familiar and formidable.

User Experience and Presentation

The interface is thoughtfully designed, offering smooth navigation between rounds and visually appealing presentation reminiscent of the TV broadcast. Notably, the app does not interrupt the experience with intrusive third-party ads or persistent popups, contributing to a more immersive and enjoyable session. The ability to customize your avatar within the game, including taking selfies to integrate your image, adds a fun and personal touch.

Question Quality and Difficulty

The content is pitched at a similar level to the show, meaning some questions can be quite challenging, particularly for casual trivia fans. The depth and breadth of the question database could be broader, as some users have found certain topics to be overrepresented or the difficulty curve inconsistent, even on the easiest settings. Optional question packs offer better coverage for specific interests.

Multiplayer and Connectivity

A standout feature is the VS mode—letting one player act as the Chaser and another as the contestant—but its execution can be inconsistent. Some users report frequent disconnections during online multiplayer rounds, which may detract from the excitement of competitive play. Local multiplayer on a single device, however, remains stable and enjoyable.

Value and Monetization

Aside from the base purchase, the app offers several themed question packs at reasonable prices. There are no disruptive ads or aggressive in-app purchase prompts, making for a less cluttered experience.
