## What is Frantics?

Play a variety of quirky mini-games in Frantics™ on PlayStation®4 with this Frantics™ Companion App.

Challenge your friends and family in everything from crazy arena brawls to wacky races for up to four players. Your charmingly unfair fox host will help you sabotage your rivals, but beware – he’s helping them too!

It’s easy to join in – just use your smartphone or tablet as a controller to shake, tilt, swipe and snap. You may even find that the Fox calls you for secret missions...

Make sure your PS4™ console is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your device and then you're ready to go. Simply follow the in-app instructions to connect.

Use this app to:
• Choose an animal to play as and shake your device to randomize it.
• Snap a selfie to show who’s who in the game.
• Play nice or sabotage other players in mini-games using your own screen. 
• Receive texts and calls from the Fox to help you win.

The application can be used in the following languages:
English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Russian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Latin American Spanish, Turkish, Greek, Czech, Hungarian, Japanese & Arabic.

*2024-05-04*

My family and I really enjoy playing frantic son game night, but since we have upgraded to the ps5 we have been unable to enjoy this great title. Please help or at least update.

Thanks,

### 5/5 — Bring it on PS5 or just make it an independent game playable by TVs

*2024-04-19, version 1.05*

You have no clue how many players wish to have this game back!!! 
What is wrong?! PS5 can already connect to cellphones but does not support Playlink games?! Why?
Please bring it back! Anyhow! On PS5! Or whatever! Just don’ make anyone buy and keep a PS4 at their home for only 3-4 games! It’s insane ☹️😫

### 4/5 — Fun

*2024-03-17, version 1.05*

Fun

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for ps5

*2023-07-23*

Me and my girl use an iphone and we can’t connect to the game. Not even thru the ps5 hotspot wifi and the IP connect doesn’t work either

### 3/5 — Needs an update!!

*2023-06-17, version 1.05*

First played it when it first came out and had loads of fun with my family, it was our favourite. Still a fun game but its not had any updates or new stuff added? Needs new characters, mini games & items to win, etc

### 2/5 — Not working on ps5

*2022-09-14, version 1.05*

App is not recognizing the ps5 console on my iphone.

### 5/5 — Great game for friends and family

*2022-05-02*

We play this game when our cousins come over or our friends. The kids are entertained with this game and others for so long and I’ve loved it too! Great game where you can play lots of different mini games. Just one thing is maybe if you added a redemption round at the end or something since sometimes my kids fight over winning and losing. Besides that, it’s an awesome game!

### 1/5 — Worst game ever

*2021-10-29, version 1.05*

Not my cup of tea at all
