Community Insight:
22 clues is a great game! Keeps your brain working.
Sharpens the mind but some of the pictures are a bit obscure.
This game is really fun. But can be challenging. We would recommend it.
Some of the photos are misleading but that just adds to the challenge.
This is a great game but you should know how to spell. We enjoy this app and it helps us keep our mind busy.
Fun game. Trying to figure words/pics in French and Spanish along with English.

We have to put this down and rest our mind often. Its good, but not too easy.
