Buzz!: The BIG Quiz is a 2006 party video game developed by Relentless Software and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 2. It is the second installment in the Buzz! series

Initial promotional material had it named Buzz! The Uber Quiz, however Sony Computer Entertainment announced the change upon the game's launch. The format is essentially that of the original: Buzz!: The Music Quiz. However, The Big Quiz covers an extensive range of general knowledge questions, including geography, history, sport, television, movies, as well as music. Like Buzz!: The Music Quiz, Buzz!: The Big Quiz was released for the PlayStation 2 exclusively in Europe.

The Big Quiz was released in the UK on 17 March 2006. In the same year it won a BAFTA for best casual and social game.[1]
