Community Insight:
Perfect App for game night.. A must download for all lovers of the culture. We use this game to understand whats relevant and to teach our non-PoC friends parts of the culture that most black people know. Love this game.
We really enjoy this game, its cool for game night and family functions. We like all the categories they are very relatable our mother really likes the church one shes great at that. Overall this is a cool game and we recommend the download.
We recall this app being an educational app filled with speeches from well renowned Black activists and thought leaders. Is this not the same developer? Was this bought out? Im a bit disheartened if so. We love the new development with black trivia, but we feel that could have been a separate app within itself and served as an entry point for folks to dive deeper and download the educational app. We miss those speeches and book recommendations honestly.. Best of luck on all endeavors either way which is why we gave 5 stars. We also u sweat and that it can be difficult distributing black rights informations without being blackballed.
Our family and we downloaded this game to play after Thanksgiving dinner. The game was all of that and a bag of chips.
Our family and we have such a good time playing this game! Its great that we can have a game created by us for us! Thank you so much to the creators!! With the Blackest love.
Great game to play , we enjoyed playing during the holidays! Dope categories, and a great convo starter.
We give it 5 stars this was worth the download! But the only thing we ask is for more variety, because after a while you have the answers memorized because they repeat themselves.
We downloaded this game on thanksgiving and cant wait to play with our entire family we absolutely love it #ForTheCulture.
Love the app, we need more apps specifically for our culture! Our only critique would be have more answers for some of the categories. Other than that great app! Great game to play during a wine night, date night, or even on a rainy day.
We like the app. However, we got a new phone and the ones we purchased are no longer available. We have to repurchase and we dont like that.
This game is AWESOME! Its nice to have something that you can authentically relate to without having to stretch yourself. Our only suggestion is to work on the apps software because whenever we try to advance to the next question to guess after Ive gotten one correct, we literally have to keep tilting the phone down or up over and over, once we did it SIX times before it advanced (that wasted a lot of our partner and Is time). It would definitely help if that was fixed.
We got a new phone and the decks we purchased didnt transfer over.
We break this out at every game and its always a hit, it just needs to be updated software and content wise.
It would be nice to have suggestions, tips on the screen of what youre trying to describe to others.
This game is pretty fun but it needs a time option. Players should be able to choose how long they want to play. Also add more answers to the categories but overall a great game indeed.
This app is super fun and for the people. However, these bugs, delays, and transition need to be revised for seamless play. Thank you! Keep up the good work.
We absolutely love this app, but it keeps freezing and there seems to be plenty of bugs. We hope these issues are fixed so we can continue to have a great user experience. This app would be perfect without theses issues.
This game is fun and honestly does capture many of the ubiquitous black experiences and common knowledge of being a person of color in the United States. Good for game nights, family fun, friends and any old entertaining you want to do. However, with that said, the game should charge $10 bucks and you have access to all or set up a subscription for $2.99 a week or something. To buy all of them would be around $20 and which isnt enticing…so we play and then put it down without spending anything. Not great for marketing your game.
Has a lot of great topics. The option 2 of the game where you can swipe left or right works tremendously better than tilting on your forehead. Its not sensitive whatsoever. Requires you to motion the pass or next multiple times. We wouldve purchased more topics if this wasnt an issue. The same developers have a game called For La Cultura and it has the same issue. We really wanted to love this game.
It will change before you are ready.
We really love playing the game at all gatherings! So much fun and something for everyone. Issue we have is that we purchased extra categories using our iTunes account from our iPad. The categories are not available on our iPhone though. Why would we need to rebuy categories that we already paid for.
We were very excited to download this app. Unfortunately we cant remember the category but the very first name that was used was Kiley Jenner. We were actually baffled at the audacity of a app called for the culture to add someone who isnt a part of the culture. Especially with all the controversies and backlash around the Kardashians and Jenners leaching from black culture. So while some might be fans, the fact still remains that Kiley Jenner isnt a part of black culture, so why is her name displayed.
Not easy to understand, VERY basic, only texts, no pics no different colors. It was a very boring and very no frills app. Deleted immediately.
With so much time spent at home with family during the pandemic and all that has gone on in the past year. We would have thought the creators of this game would at least update it because this is supposed to be a form of charades and by putting in names of black people who have lost there lives is outrageous too us.
Purchased this app for thanksgiving. Fun product but very buggy. Would give it 5 stars if it didnt have so many glitches.
Our family loves this game. We never write reviews but for this game we just had to 5 stars all the way.
A great game to play in a large group setting.
OMG, we played this game last night after the New Year rang in…it was so much fun. If you are super competitive, watch out…lol.
We love for the culture! We literally play it at every game night, holiday party and get together we go too! Any opportunity we get, we say lets play FTC! We love the categories, theyre unique and the games really get intense. Swiping to get back to the main menu is a little tricky and if you accidentally click a category you have to force shut down the app. But despite the minor bugs, its a great icebreaker and adds flavor to any social gathering.
Our family & we played this game on Thanksgiving. It made the day so much fun and brought us so much laughter.
This app is awesome for us by us! It works great and its a hit at ever function!! Thanks for thinking of this.
Been playing the game with family and friends!!! We all love it.
This game brought the family together both young and old. We would highly recommend it for family game time.
This is really a cool game but when we purchase other categories our payment goes through but we cant access our purchased categories. We have tried deleting and re-downloading but nothing works and feel ripped off.
It was great having a game with categories our friends and we could relate to. The extra categories are only a dollar as well, so thats great.
We love this app. We do wish the categories had more words before repeating them and whoever made the Greek category dogged the zetas lol but it's okay! We lovvvvvvvvve this game! It's a great party starter.
This has quickly become one of our favorite games to play with our family.
Had an amazing time playing this with family on Christmas! Its great for all ages, and really entertaining.
Played this game during our familys Christmas Party and we had a BLAST!!! We did Boys vs. Girls and of course the girls won lol. But, hands down, this game was the bomb because it brought us laughs, fun, team work, and memories that we will keep with us forever. Thank you to the creators for giving us a game that is not only fun but one that we can relate to . Keep bringing on new categories and questions and this game will remain a fav of ours.
Awesome!!! Fun, exciting, stimulating, must have for game night and/or family fun.
Had soo much fun playing with family and friends.
Our friends and we absolutely love this game. We cannot stop laughing at the clues each other gives as well as the responses to the clues. We've played as often as we can. Even roped our s/o into this and he had a blast. Hopefully there will be updates to add to the categories to avoid repetition.
We love this app but can you guys pleaseeeeeee add gospel music.
Excellent app! We have been breaking this out at family functions since we downloaded it.
Such an amazing app, love the categories, love the animations, love everything about it! Definitely one for the culture.
Really dope party app. It's like heads up but with modern culture pop references. Def worth checking out.
Great app! Fun to use. Great categories and it's only .99 for others which isn't a big deal. Can't wait to see what this app becomes.
This app enhances the African American culture in a positive way and opens up to the whole world to enjoy a friendly evening at home.
Love love love this game!! Prefect for game night with our girls.
Played it for the first time last Friday. It had our friends and we screaming at the top of our lungs trying to give the player hints. So much fun.
