December 23, 2019

We've finally fixed two tricky bugs. First, the game no longer crashes after winning or losing. This was previously happening to some players on certain devices and iOS versions. Second, players can now manually select which language to use from a new in-game menu. This alleviates a bug where the game did not match the system language. Happy playing, everyone!

I highly recommend it!" -- The Dice Tower ** Awards ** BoardGameGeek iOS Board Game Awards 2011: iOS Board Game of the Year - Nominee Best Children's Game App - Winner Best Family Game App - Nominee Best Interface and Graphic Design 2011 - Nominee Best Local Multiplayer or Pass and Play Multiplayer - Nominee The Dice Tower: Best Digital Boardgame 2011 - Nominee **** Forbidden Island is a cooperative game of strategy and courage as you and up to three other adventurers attempt to capture the four ancient treasures hidden on a sinking island. It's a thrilling adventure based on the best-selling Gamewright board game. Forbidden Island was the secluded retreat of an ancient mystical empire known as the Archeans. Legend has it that the Archeans possessed the ability to control the Earth's elements - fire, wind, water, and earth - through four sacred treasures: The Crystal of Fire, The Statue of the Wind, The Ocean's Chalice, and The Earth Stone. Because of their potential to cause catastrophic damage if they fell into enemy hands, the Archeans kept the treasures secretly hidden on Forbidden Island and designed it to sink if intruders ever attempted to claim them. In the centuries since the mysterious collapse of their empire, Forbidden Island remained undiscovered ... until now. Will your team be the first to breach its borders, capture the treasures, and make it out alive? Awarded as Mensa Select in 2010 and nominated for the prestigious Spiel des Jahres award in 2011, Forbidden Island is a fantastic game that's fun and engaging for all who play. **** Features: ∙ Co-operative gameplay - everyone wins/loses together ∙ Pass-and-play multiplayer for 2-4 players ∙ Single player gameplay (by controlling multiple Adventurers yourself) ∙ Game Center Achievements ∙ Side-by-side or Around-the-Table board layouts ∙ Beautiful artwork ∙ Interactive tutorial and in-depth rulebook ∙ Context aware in-game hints ∙ Includes two different island shapes, providing different gameplay challenges ∙ A single in-app purchase for 10 more island shapes Tested and compatible with iOS 11.

Reviews of Forbidden Island

  • Plays just like the board game!

    I shared my screen in a virtual meeting and used the game as a lesson in working together, co-operation, and resource management for the youth leadership project that I facilitate. I had 8 to 17 year olds divided into 4 teams. They had a great time and actually won the first time they played. I highly recommend for long distance team building. And game night with distant friends and family. Personally, I don't care much for playing it alone, but it can be done, you just act as all of the players.
  • Loving this game

    I’m going to have to get the physical version too. This is great!
  • Great game that plays just like the physical version

    I have the physical copy of this game so buying the digital game seemed like the right thing to do. It is great to play solo and it plays just as the original physical version. Some people prefer pandemic over forbidden island but I like forbidden island better. It’s simpler, easier on the eyes, and still has a good amount of strategy.
