Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We have nothing bad to say about this other than that it wont let player 2 go sometimes and it randomly stops the game after player 1 went. Please fix that.
We think it is ok but like Palm tree one we got our brother cod not guess it so you soundDownload it.
Perfect for when youre bored with friends, we love playing it in the car.
The thing is that we think it would be a little hard to understand if they are new.
We would rate a four but we BELIVE that would be quite harsh only would rate that because of bad connection.
Please add the ability to add your own faces. After playing just a few times you see the same ones repeated. Other than that, this game is super fun.
We think its a cool and fun game its kid appropriate and funny.
But there are a few guys that are older and are sending inappropriate pictures that make us feel uncomfortable and we cant report them but other than that great game.
This game is great but sometimes you dont see a face so you have no idea what to guess then at one point some man or so used his uncensored groin for a pic and is obviously on this app for all the wrong reasons please fix problems like this especially the later more urgent problem in short kids its probably best not to play online.
It works for a little bit then tells us we have no internet connection. Our internet is fine.
Our daughter & we were having a great time playing this game until an animated picture of a lady with exposed nipples popped up. We screenshot the picture for proof. It went unnoticed until the end of the game but we found this SUPER weird & inappropriate.
When we try to play Random Coop Game it says it sends but it doest If download dont use Random Coop Game – Liv.
So we found this game on the app store, thinking it looked fun. We download it, we click Online because we didnt have anyone to play with. We agree with the terms and service, and when we get to the , we put in our nickname and click sign up. It says we have bad internet, when all the other apps on our phone work and our internet is actually fine when we check. We just want to play the game, but it dosent let us. Can you guys fix this for everyone because this isnt the first complaint ive seen with this problem. Thank you.
We tried to go online but we cant login with Facebook we try to assess error this app doesnt have permission to Facebook.
We have a really hard time believing this game has won any awards when it doesnt even work. It was even in one of the app stores featured games slides. It looked fun so we downloaded it without even looking at the reviews, only to find that it wouldnt work. Went back to read reviews and saw people have been having the same issues im having over the last three years. Dont waste your time or excitement over this game because its pointless and doesnt work.
When we press the online button, it says that we have no internet when we clearly do. We feel as if the developers did this purposely to temporarily resolve the fact that people put up unsettling photos.
The advertising and idea is awesome, but much like many other people we cant even seem to play due to the fact the game asks us to create an account and suggests that we have no internet connection to play. It doesnt matter day or night, home or out, on Wi-Fi or not this app doesnt work. Sadly. The app should not be released if its unusable, hopefully its fixed sometime, because we read reviews from 2 years ago saying the same thing.
Crashes 6 times before we can even play it . Sucky.
There are to much ads like almost after every 2 mimics there an ad.
We opened it to play and we say a picture of a naked guy peeing.
Us and our dad are having so much fun.
As you know, you can play online but it wont work for us. For some weird reason we just tried to sign up. We click the button to sign up but guess what!! It does nothing. It is like a random button that just does nothing nothing nothing. Reach back to us as soon as you can please -lily.
We thought it was an alright game but then (this isnt the games fault but someone needs to address the developers or have someone look at the photos before the person sees it) we saw a d*** in the photo so someone needs to make sure this doesnt scar a child for life.
Some people post really inappropriate stuff on here.
There are perves on this app dont let your kids play. Would be fun if playing with only family.
Finally, a something a little different. Perfect when you are in a silly mood.
This game is fun and all, but was we the only one who saw the character with the exposed breasts.
Party mode is fun but no matter what you do not get to play online.
Cant use the Online Mode, it says that we dont have internet connection, even though we do. But cooperative mode is working great.
The game works well as a stand-alone game. We created a profile. However, finding friends on Facebook, and the friends search does not work. In essence, we cannot play online. We would give it more stars if this worked.
The game is fun but weird. It is fun to try and guess what faces people are making and fun to get it right. However many features are not explained well or at all and this makes the game pretty confusing. Also there are WAY too many ads. Still oddly fun though.
It seems like a fun game, but since the online portion doesnt work, we dont really see ourselves playing it.
This game says you can play online. It told us to create an account or sign in with Facebook. We dont have facebook, so we chose to make an account. For the nick name, we put in one letter. It was fine. Two letters. It was fine. But more than 3 letters said we didnt have internet connection. We checked our Wi-Fi and it had connection. We went back to the app, and we made our nickname 2 letters long. When we pressed sign in, it did nothing. We tried again. Nothing. We tried again. Nothing. Again. Nothing. Again! Nothing! We cant really play party mode either because nobody ever wants to play games with us. Would not download again.
Our internet is working perfectly but yet your says its not we instantly deleted the game.
Full on nudity. Not good for our kid.
Id play this but we have no friends ;-;.
Yay!!! We saw gloom play this game! Sooo IT HAS TO BE AMAZING.
The best game ever love playing it.
This is an awesome game we saw on YouTube for one of our favorite channels ever! It's seemed awesome on YouTube so we got it, it's a really awesome app it's it's fun to play at sleepovers with our friends, our parents, and our boyfriend! It's was really cool and fun and u should try it :3.
What a fun time the kids have play this silly and entertaining game. We do wish there was an option to keep your photos local only if you chose to not have them shared online.
If we want to play by ourselves we have to sign up. In attempts to signing up it says no internet connection we have internet. We restarted the app, the phone, we tried everything. Maybe its your way of being lazy and making it multiplayer only? Multiplayer is fun tho.
Party mode works just fine, however when we try online mode it tells us we need to make and account (which we're fine with) so we enter a nickname and it tells us no internet connection. Please fix it our internet is fine and we have even tried restarting our device and completely closing the app.
We found out about this game on YouTube and after months of it being out, we decided to try it. Online mode kind of works but if you re install the app you need to make a new account, also if you want to play with friends you can only use party mode, because searching for a friend never works. We were very disappointed as we were excited to play online with a friend. If this game wants better reviews and more people playing it, they should take a second to actually listen to their players and read the reviews.
Great for sleepovers and party, and also am when your just plain bored.
Great idea for a game, so funny! App needs a little UX work, notifications and saving pics could use some attention. But wow what a great game.
It keeps telling us that we have no internet connection, and will not load. (our internet connection is fine.).
