## What is Fictionary Game?

Fictionary is an incredibly fun turn based multi-player word game to be enjoyed with friends and family.

Fictionary is a "Pass and Play" game, that is, it is played with a single iOS device which is passed among all of the players. It is not an online game or a single player game, it requires a minimum of three people to play but the more players, the more fun and challenging.

Fictionary is a word game in which players try to guess the definition of an obscure word. Each turn consists of a player (the "picker") selecting a word, announcing it out loud to the rest of the players, who, in turn, have to invent their own definition for it. The picker reads the definitions aloud, and the other players vote for which one they think is correct. Points are awarded for guessing the correct definition, and for having a fake definition exposed by another player.

Fictionary includes over 600 carefully selected words along with their definitions, it’s up to you, the player, to craft credible alternative and fun definitions to fool your word smart friends.

### 3/5 — Really fun but encountered a bug

*2020-01-23*

Very fun game with tons of laughter but there is a bug in this version which asks players to keep entering a second round of fake definitions so we weren’t able to play more than two rounds in the same game before the bug popped up.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. Can you tell me which device and model are you using?

### 5/5 — Brings back memories

*2019-08-07*

We used to play the “dictionary game” often growing up.  We would laugh so hard at some of the strange definitions that our friends would come up with.  
This is so much more fun since you don’t need those slips of papers anymore.  Just pass the phone!
Thanks so much, Enriqué.

### 5/5 — Highly recommend!

*2019-02-06*

Really fun and entertaining game to play with friends! It spurs creativity and makes it easy for a lot of people to play at the same time! Highly recommend.
