The game can be played with an Xbox 360 controller, but comes bundled with four special wireless controllers calledBig Button Padswhich resemble game show buzzers. Each controller has one large "buzzer" button at the top, the A, B, X, and Y buttons arranged vertically, and an Xbox Guide button.

The controllers use infrared rather than Microsoft's proprietary wireless standard, and whilst the Xbox 360 has an infrared receiver, it is not designed to interface with four devices simultaneously; therefore a sensor add-on is included and must be plugged into the 360 for the controllers to be usable.[3]

Other games such asUnoandWits and Wagershave added support for the Big Button Pads.
