Community Insight:
Man we love this game it makes us want to giggle.
We chose a four stars because we really like this game, but it is a little hypersensitive when you tilt your head forward and back and it skips to the next card a little too quickly but overall, we really liked the game. It is a fun game to pass time with your friends and family and its fun to beat your score in different categories of cards. This game is absolutely amazing and us and our family and friends enjoyed it very much and we hope you do too. We would also like to mention the make your own word category because its really fun to make up some words for your friends if youre playing with them, because you might not understand all of the words in the other categories that are offered to you. We think that the different categories are really fun because you get to do a little bit of everything and you dont have to do just one. Theres a great variety. We really enjoyed the school candy and movie categories. This game is truly wonderful. Completely free and kid friendly we enjoyed playing it. Hope you do too. Sincerely, your queen.
So fun but would love pictures for the younger kiddos.
We like this game it is so fun to play this with your family or friends but sometimes when you are trying to do the correct it says pass.
We like this game because its a really fun game. We play all the time but its a little complicated and game. If you want a game that doesnt cost money just dont get this way because it cost money and like the whole game except for all cost money.
Is fun but no pictures, just words and for kids? May be older than what we were looking for (beginner reader here).
We dont beeping. Why do we have to pay for every single other version besides one.
Its fun and all but we dont like how you have to pay to get all of the categories. Still a fun game and we love it.
You have to pay money to play different modes, its kinda clickbait. Overall very fun to play.
Our dad said tiger but it was pass but when we did it we got a lot of pass it should be correct the game is still fun its a bug in the game.
Its so bad because literally everything is not free except all Charades And we dont like that please update this.
You have to pay to do anything.
You have to pay for most of everything on it. The only thing you get is free is the game and its kind of boring to be honest. Theyre kind of hard for little kids to understand and thats why we gave you two sorry but its the truth.
Love the game but to do certain versions you have to pay? Its a game for kids so you shouldnt pay for versions. And it says drinking and boos so make your game actually for kids dont just name its for kids.
Great in theory. But the tilting up and down of the phone needs help. Game isnt as fun when the score isnt being kept correctly.
It doesnt let us play all of the chareds.
This game is so fun to do with friends.
Good kids game good for long rollercoster ride lines is very fun and good to bring a family together.
Good game to play while waiting in line.
So god especially if you are in lines.
Goodbye r dnt. Fnfrb r fms ss svhs s dude r f.
We loved playing this with our son. He was able to guess a lot of the categories. There are lots of things to choose from and explore. Would definitely recommend.
This app kept our 8 year old entertained while in urgent care waiting for an X-ray. It was a life saver. The forward and backward motion can be a little glitchy for her but she still had fun.
We forgot our physical copy of charades on our vacation, so this was a great alternative.
Laughed all night, kids really enjoyed themselves.
This app is awesome and we think its great for our kids.
It is good to play with family and friends.
Super fun game to play with the family.
Such a amazing game, us and our friends loved playing it.
When you barely tilt the phone up ward or down ward it already says PASS or CORRECT and its really hard to play.
Fun idea, terrible execution. Supposed to be for kids but some of the words were for an older crowd like Babe Ruth and Macarena. The game is also supposed to be set up so tilting the phone down is for a right answer and tilting the phone up is for a wrong answer. Several times while different people were holding the phone, either it was being held still and it skipped yo the next one or if it was tilted a one way, it would register as though it had gone the opposite direction. Very frustrating. A personal grievance is the ticking timer sound but others may thing thats fine.
This is so much fun we have a family of seven so it is pretty fun to get along for game night.
It was ok but we should have read reviews before jumping at it and getting. You have to PAY to unlock most of the options. We know they have to put food on the table but really??? It would have been a 5 star if it was all unlocked.
