User Reviews

Users find the app fun and family-friendly with good use of smartphone controls and easy setup. However, many face a critical keyboard bug on Android 10 and 11 preventing name input, frequent crashes, and control issues. The need for a companion app for controllers and overall short, luck-driven gameplay also detracts from the experience. The developers have yet to resolve these critical issues, leading to widespread frustration and negative reviews.

Pros

Fun party game suitable for families and friends, including options to play with bots.
Easy installation and setup process, accommodating both Android and iOS devices.
Good use of smartphone controls like touch and motion for character control.

Cons

Keyboard does not appear when entering the player’s name on Android 10 and 11, blocking progress.
App crashes frequently, causing frustration and unreliable gameplay.
The game requires an app for controller compatibility, which some users find unnecessary and unhelpful.
Some devices have motion control issues, like tilt sensors not working properly.
Gameplay is short, luck-based, and lacks engaging content according to several users.

Recent reviews

Can't find a game. so frustrating. Tried everything and it just wouldn't work. Gave up uninstalled. It's good if it works but when paying money I wouldn't take the chance. Really unreliable as it used to work. Reinstalled to play Xmas games and nope! Not working at all. Would give zero stars if I could.

FOUND A SOLUTION TO KEYBOARD MISSING! A silly workaround, is to open the app in Split-screen mode and then try to click on the text box. It worked for me and my gf on our S21 Ultra's. But it would be great if there were to come an update fixing this. Other than this, 5/5 stars!
