Community Insight:
We love this game now we beat our mom at this game this is our top favorite game 100% best game ever plus we love it Cuz when youre playing against a character the characters come from guess who we are thats our second favorite game but also, if yall dont have musical three, yall need to get it but that aint the point of this game this game is the best.
We finished the tournament and Kenny was the nicest one in the bunch.
Im not sure what youre looking to achieve.
This is a good game with a variety of difficulty levels when playing against the computer. We took one star off because each game can be very fast and the ads then seem frequent. We would like the option of purchase to avoid ads. No bells and whistles which we prefer but if you want fireworks and explosions its not for you.
You will get bombarded with ads, at the bottom, full screen, unskippable ads. The game is meh though, very limited options on visual styles or play settings. Boring visually and does nothing to intrigue the player.
Used to be one of the better games like this in the app store, but now there are too many full screen ads (about 1 every 5-10seconds) without the ability to remove them. Complete obnoxious garbage. If the developer doesnt want to keep the game up, they should take the game out of the store.
We love this game in real life to it is so so much fun playing.
This is one great game. It's well worth the purchase. We love this game! We give it a 5 rating.
Such a simple game, and yet so entertaining. We love playing both the physical and the digital versions, by ourselves, with friends, with our little nieces and nephews. It is perfect for learning strategy and planning. We play it several times a day.
Fun, great time waster. Play at night to wind down. Four stars because no game is perfect.
Pros: It's a good app for killing time and the features are great and can get pretty addicting to play. Cons: when other opponents forfeit the game you don't gain the points. And finding another opponent to play online takes way to long and it's tiring. You will be wasting battery, data, and time trying to find other opponents to play. To the makers of this game: Please review this app. This app needs to be improve. When a player forfeits a game the other player should gain the points automatically. Why doesn't this game have that?!?! Suggestions: Can you add a Chat button as an option? It would be cool to talk to other opponents during the game. That's well definitely get this app going.
We send invites to our friends and when they click on the link it simply says "retrieving" but it never opens for them. The same is true if they send the link to us. Very disappointing.
If you're just learning this is ok, but if you know how to play you can't use this app.
We set to very hard and beat it without trying.
We kept on winning but it wouldn't tell us ,the game just kept going on and on.
A nifty new take on an classic parlor game. The cartoon opponents are the same as the characters from Guess The Person. Beware of Hilda; she's sneaky good.
This app is fun to play and easy to figure out.
Us and our friends like to play this, it's a original idea made even more fun! Unlocking new colored chips and playing in the tournaments is so fun! Must get.
Good game. Wish our partner could not accidentally make a move for us with her big fingers. A suggestion would be to create an "undo" option.
Great game even our 8 yr old can beat us lol.
It takes your mind off more complex things. It helps refresh the mind with requiring a lot of mental effort.
