Community Insight:
Good game for family night and we love this game so much 5 stars.
Fun with a group of mixed ages. Easy to play.
The first time we heard about this game it was the same thing.
Very awesome our dad and we love to play.
Fun game with friends even with a small group its amazing When theres nothing to do in a group this game is the choice to make the group have fun.
This is the best game ever we loved playing it was our family:).
We love playing this game in the car or when Im bored with our friends or family. This game so so fun but you have to pay for some categories.
This is so much fun! We love that it is free and you can still do so much without paying money. We just downloaded it and we have no regrets.
This game is so fun that we found out what a dik-dik is! We love charades but we wish that nothing was locked.
This is a great game to enjoy family time, its a great dinner time game to include all of the family if you have reading age kids.
We love this game. Its just that you guys have to fix it up a little bit because you have to pay for everything and we keep getting all the things right and then its not letting us unlock anything. We love this game. Hope you guys get back to us. Love Niaelee.
This game made our family happy. We have been laughing playing and it really helps us enjoy family time. You should try it out.
Very little options to play for free and on the animal category there were to many exotic animals and we didnt know what they were, for example, Akita, kookaburra, and lemur like we dont know these. So please give easier options and more free categories.
This game is so fun and easy to use! The instructions on how to play are a one time thing then it just sticks. This is so fun to play with family and we say it has brought our family together! Definitely recommend.
Super fun game. Fun, we tell ya. Really great. Review totally not so we can get the free version of the app. Great game.
This game is so much fun and exciting.
It was a good family game that got us going like hard not to say the words wish it was a pic.
We think it's the best because you need to buy kids.
This is a very fun game to play with family and friends.
This game is amazing. It is collaborative. You can put lots of effort in and you can use it in multiple ways. The only problem is that there is a lot of interruptions we think with reading our review you can make a positive effort into changing it.
This app is super fun we just wish that you didnt have to pay to do other categories you only get like 4 that were unlocked and we dont want to pay money.
Very fun and goes for 10 minutes.
It is good and it gives you more time to spend time white freinds and family.
Love this game amazing 10 out of 10.
We love this app because our best friend spent the night yesterday us and her played and it was really fun we played till 12:00.
This app was a life saver while waiting in a long line for an amusement park ride and now our kids often ask to play it.
Love it so much and we dont want to play any more games on this iiiiibdf.
Amazing app and always a go too at a function.
Such a fun game to do ANYWHERE while youre waiting or at home.
We love the game but we wish we can get all of the categories for free but it is fun to play on road trips with family and friends.
This game is so fun we cant stop being on it.
We played the in line at Disney and time flyer.
And we really like it u should try it.
First its so fun to play and it always puts a smile a someones face idk about other people but we know that it pits one on ours.
Us and our family plays this whenever we go on road trips and makes the time go by so fast.
This app is great for playing and really fun we love it.
This game is ALWAYS our go to form of entertainment whenever we have friends and family over for a gathering.
This game is amazing we love playing this with our friends and family we play it every day can you imagine 6 family members playing 1 game.
This game is pretty good. We dont wanna spend money tho so we cant rly play a lot of times per day.
We like it but just hard if you dont spend money.
Great but too many things on premium.
Its so much fun us and our sister were playing it.
The games are fun but you have to pay for a lot we would say it it is a 3 and a half star review.
It would be better if you could play every game over all love it.
This is a fun game just wish that it could be more free.
The app is really good but it is not in our budget to buy it so we think you should give a few more free options because there are a lot of locked games.
We played it with our mom on the animal one and some of them were like just gibberish but overall good the children one it was like toy kitchen who would get that.
We get episode three star because it keeps passing and passing and passing Im passing but we got it correct we dont know why keeps passing.
This game is really fun to play with our family and is super conveinent for us. The only thing is there are certain categories that are locked. After all this is something really good to play if your feeling bored,or waiting in line at Disneyland.
