The app is designed to be used for charades, word guessing, trivia, word building, sketch and guess, and similar crowd games.
For typical charades:
It starts with writing the word be guessed. Then like piece of paper, the guesser puts the iPhone/ipad on his/her forehead. And he/she keeps guessing until the 2 minutes time is over.
This game should be played with a partner or a group of people that will keep giving the user hints about the word to be guessed.
The typical way of playing this game is that the guesser will keep guessing a word and his partner or the other group that sees the word can only answer either as "YES","NO", or "COULD BE". For example:
Word to guesss: RUDOLF
Guesser: Is it person?
Partner: NO
Guesser: Is it an animal?
Partner: YES
Guesser: Is it an animal name?
Partner: YES
Guesser: Does it have a red nose?
Partner: YES! YES! YES!
Guesser: "RUDOLF!!!"
Partner: "YUP THAT WORD!!!!"
Once you guessed the word before the 2 minute mark, your partner or the group should consensus say "YUP THAT WORD"
Well thats what the first version of the app sort of.
This new version is much more than that. Aside from sketch/write and guess, this version now offers word blocks which supports over 100 languages so that guessing word blocks will be much tougher.
Also try the word builder, which is a light version of Word Blocks.
