Picks
Chris
DrawSomething
- OMGPOP game.
- Cross device app (Android, iOS)
- Turn based pictionary in essence. You get to chose the word you want to try and draw. More coins earned for harder words.
- Other person then gets to see a recording of you drawing.
- Hangman style letters at bottom of the screen to chose from and make a word.
- Once correct/pass, the recording of the other person guessing is then played back to the original drawer - followed by watching the other player draw their word... etc
- Idea is to get the longest winning streaks.
- Coins earn you unlocks - eg you start with a limited pallet, so coins unlock more colour options. High coin prices on colours etc mean you need to play lots to unlock OR (of course) you can in-app purchase more coins.
- Yes, it’s easy to cheat and just write the word on screen - but MOST people don’t do this and I just stop playing with anyone who does that.
- Currently on sale 69p.
