Community Insight:
We love it. We're a big Chain Reaction fan, so we're super excited to find this. The creator, Spencer Baker, also has another word chain game like this one, but it's not multiple choice. Trying it next.
We have enjoyed this game especially the multiplayer, since the recent update not so much. We find that it is way too easy now with it giving u possible answers to the chain. We enjoyed it more when we had to actually think of a word that could possibly work with the chain. Just don't find it challenging enough anymore.
We thought the latest upgrade was cosmetic only, but it is now a totally different app. It is too easy – giving us choices takes the fun out of it.
Upgraded app and it's completely different. We deleted it. You used to be able to just get the first letter of the next word and guess letters until you got the word now it's just multiple-choice for what the next word is. Too easy, disappointed.
Only able to play a few times. Now it crashes within a few seconds. Original version worked much better.
Ever since we downloaded this game we have been getting A's on all of our college exams.
This is a super fun game. We started to play it, and after one game we were addicted. We love it.
If you enjoy word games this is a must-have. It's very easy to learn and keeps you engaged. It's unlike any other word game we've played which makes it even better. We highly recommend giving this app a go.
It is simple but it makes you think fast on each word. We loved it.
This app is awesome! It's the OJ Simpson white bronco of iPhone games. Five stars for sure.
This game is better than Clash Royale! Best word game we've ever played.
Game looks and feels much better. Smoother gameplay as well.
This is fine just to kill time, but there's no goal. It just cycles through the same words endlessly. No timer, no scoring… Meh.
We like this game, but we're having problem playing this game. It's like it's on tutorial, then kicks us out. We uninstalled it, then reinstalled it, but it's still doing it. It won't let us play . Very frustrated.
This new revamped version blows to put it lightly. Now you just pick a word from some choices. Before it was like the game show chain reaction and you had to guess the next word in the chain by writing a word. This is awful.
Like the game. It is challenging.
We love this game. We too would like it to template more after the tv show. Thanks.
It's a good game but we do have one complaint on the tv show they tell you the last word but on the game they don't and for some reason it annoys us. Please add.
Fun game as close as you can get to the one on tv.
Unfortunately this game is very low tech and repeats the same sequences. Disappointed, was hoping it was more like the game show.
This game is so much fun! We love to play it because it is entertaining and makes us feel smart and like we are using by brain. Thank you for such a rewarding and fun game.
Game is fun to play. Makes you think.
Some of the chains are pretty lame. We'll play it once and a while.
Love the game show chain reaction, this is good practice if you like to play along with the game show. Or just want to keep your brain going with some word fun.
Reminds us of the tv show game ! Great game if ur good at ut.
It is a fun game we just wish the chains were longer.
Love the game show and this game.
On our iPhone 6 – we love online play but the rounds are halting after 1 or 2 words Love the game though … Hope you update so more people can enjoy User Miguel may be culprit (we think she's closing on her end as soon as she can't win).
Just wondering if this is going to be updated soon or if this has been neglected or just abandoned.
Such a fun game and one of the few games that doesn't trick you into spending money.
This game is really good, not to easy and not to hard.
Enjoy playing this. It's a easy game to work mind.
Pretty fun to play when you're bored.
The title says it all. This game is just so much fun we can't even contain ourselves.
Word phrases don't make sense half of the time. Terrible game.
Now you have tap in the individual boxes after every entry which defeats the purpose of speed. Also needs to show the final word in chain similar to the TV show.
This is the best word game that we've ever played! It's tons of fun and is very challenging. We would recommend this game for anyone.
We like it, and it's free! Our only problem is that you have to select the box everytime to bring up the keyboard to type. Change that and it's great.
Improve to be more like the game show. This isn't very fun.
Call us an idiot but how do you play the game?? There are no directions that we could find. =.
Simple structure. Would be great with sound effects/music. Many spelling errors causing issues. Would be great to give option of guessing plural vs singular and vice versa.
Spelling error on the third game.
