Community Insight:
Love this game . Give it a try if u like using your mind you will love 20 clues.
Values are definitely high. But game intrigues us.
Great game for keeping your mind sharp!! This is a fun game for keeping your brain sharp and warding off the dreaded alzheimers.
Our new go to game for de-stressing.
Perfect for a quick minute or two when you need a little brain teaser.
This game really works your brain and challenges it as well.
Great way to combine visual and verbal skills.
We just started to play this game after it was recommended by a friend. We have been having fun with it and it really gets us thinking, but it is relaxing at the same time.
This is our go to game when we need to unwind, although it truly gives your brain a workout. It helps us focus and think outside the box. Thoroughly enjoyable. Give it a try.
Great game that keeps you thinking about how to put letters together to make words; words that you're only guessing at from pictures.
Really enjoy playing this before going to sleep.
But so far so good. Makes you think.
Love this game! Haven't used our brain this much, in a long time. Awesomely refreshing.
Totally a brain teaser. Think outside the box.
The app works fine. Sometimes the clues are more figurative than literal. Good clean fun.
This app really gives your brain a workout. Putting scrambled letters together and trying to find a very specific asset of each picture. Love it.
Found the game to be both infuriating and challenging.
Love this game!! Helps to pass time and gets your gear working.
Wonderful! We love it and we have gotten our friends addicted.
Challenges you on the simplest pictures.
Very fun, addictive game to help keep your brain active.
It's a fun thinkin game that makes you think outside of the box.
We really like this game . It's hard but fun ,makes you think outside the usual box.
Great game but it can be very hard at times need more coins.
Makes you really use your mind and makes you look beyond .. Very challenging.
This is a great puzzle game for anyone who likes to think. 5 stars.
This game is a great brain challenge and entertaining.
Super fun but took a minute to figure out.
This is a very challenging app.
Addicting. The challenge gets you going.
This is a fun yet challenging game. We love it and we wish it had more levels.
Love this game just wish it gave you coins to start with.
Cant believe this game is so absorbing. Stretches your brain and fun to play with others.
Played the first 3 levels. Challenging but not impossible. Looking forward to seeing what the next 3 will bring.
We like this game because many of the words and pictures are from Europe, so if you're American you really have to think outside the box.
Frustrating at times, esp as an American…clearly this game isnt authored by Americans…that said, its fun, but a little tougher if youre from the US.
Love it when u get stuck…. But then….duh! You're not. It's a nice game.
Word association with images – a new twist on word games,.
We like figuring out the word puzzles but hints are rather expensive, even if you don't use them often.
It's fun and challenging! Thanks.
Took a minute to figure out how to play. But it is fun.
One must think outside of the box to solve these puzzles. No matter how frustrating the clues become we just can't seem to stop playing.
Slight learning curve, but easy to pick up. A good mental stretch.
This is fun and also mind-boggling. Keeps your brain on its toes. A real fun game.
Fun word/picture association game.
Harder than it looks at first glance. Nice brain teaser.
Ok it's good and makes you think but lower the coin amounts for help and add a 4th option for a flash hint or switch tile or something less than reveal. Also maybe explain the words get longer as go up levels.
Fun, but somewhat frustrating for this 70-something gal! :).
We're enjoying this game. So far it's making us think, but not so much, so we're not frustrated. But we're only on level 3, looking forward to playing some more.
This game is addicting sometimes, its good to sharpen your brain with letters and pictures clue.
