Reviews

Great concept, needs just a bit of work.

My only suggestion/complaint is the difficulty level, having played about 10 games I’ve been able to clear in on go, some with ladders, some without. A bit more difficult and more well written “riddles” would make it great. Aside from that I definitely recommend it for those who enjoy ‘Wordbrain’ and other word puzzle games.


Bug

Like the app but when trying to invite a friend to play it doesn’t let you start a game. Would like it if this feature worked!


Good idea
Bobooshy

It’s a great game and it has lots of potential. It does, however still need a lot of work. For instance-I’d like to know what the answers are when I get something wrong. Also, like one of the other reviewers mentioned: some questions have more than one answer and you can only figure out the first letter by using coins- which there aren’t enough of. I’d also like to know how many games I’ve lost vs how many I’ve won, etc. Also, some of the questions are beyond vague (like one or two words) and you have no idea what the answer could be. Keep up the good work though-this game is very entertaining.


Not fun, frustrating actually!

Easy in the beginning but it got harder. Hints are so vague and your answer could technically be right but the game says you’re wrong. The only way to find out if your answer was correct would be to use coins to check first letter first before submitting. Examples: 5 letter word for tropical fruit, I guessed mango...wrong. 4 letter work for kitchen worker, I guessed chef...wrong. 6 letter word for Highest point of a mountain, correct answer I’m assuming was summit but this is incorrect bcuz highest point of a mountain is peak. LAME!! Frustrates me more than I enjoy it so I’m deleting the app.


Can’t play our friends.

You can start games with other players but you can’t with your actual Facebook friends which was the whole purpose of downloading the app to play with my friend.

Like it a lot but wish they had an adds free option


Good concept- has issues
A-marble-shooter

I have played many games. Some of the clues are so easy like others have mentioned but some are so vague it is almost impossible to figure an answer. There are others with multiple answers and coins must be used to get a first letter. For example “most of kindergarten”. What? It wasn’t learning. Is fighting? Sleeping? Teaching? Who knows, we don’t get a right answer. Not sure how long I’ll keep trying because of the ads and this issue.


Can’t play with friends
MTR?

I enjoy the game and want to play more! It’s fun and makes me think about what the answer could be. The downfall I have is that even though it’s advertised to play with friends you can’t play with friends. When you start a new game it sets you up with a random player, and when you send an invite link, when it’s clicked on it just takes you to the home screen of the game instead of starting a game with the person who sent you the link.


Good idea, bad execution

Love the idea of this game, but these aren’t riddles.


Glitch: Playing with Friends

I like the game so far, but the invite friends feature isn’t working to start matches with them through Facebook. I downloaded the app to play with friends.
