Play DJ was a text-in quiz show which aired weekdays from 6 pm and weekends from 10 am on the now defunct British ITV Play channel. The show replaced a similar programme called ITV Playalong which was aired as filler on ITV Play when no live presented programmes were being aired (and continued to do so late-nights until the channel's demise). Viewers could also send in messages to be displayed on-air in a chatbox. Games Buzz Words Nine letters were given and the viewer had to find as many words as they could with the letters; there was also one nine-letter word that could be made with the letters.

Players scored more points based on how quick they answered. During the Playalong period until the debut of the Bonus Ball Bonanza, winners won £10 if they had the highest score.

To shoot at enemies, the viewers texted in an angle (0°-360°) and a missile was shot out of the base at that angle. The player's screen name was shown above the missile so they would know which missile was theirs. If an enemy was hit, points were scored. Prizes After each game, a high scoring player was transferred to play a game live in the studio. The player was guaranteed a prize of £20 (£30 on Play DJ Late), but could also win to win up to £1000. During the day, players were selected using a drawing, while on Play DJ Late, the "Wheel of Wonga" was used to select a player.
