I love this game!

I really enjoyed playing this with a big group of friends! It constantly is a way to enjoy little amounts of time I have with my aqquintances. Thank you so much for making this incredible game!

Do not pay $1.99 misleading

This app is not free. You have to pay $1.99 just to download it, then immediately tries to sale you additional team games packs, it feels misleading and like a complete rip-off. I wish to have my money back. I do not recommend this app.

Charged but not received.

Fun game but I spent $13 on a pack and never got it. I’ve done all the steps to try and get it, and I can’t. So I got charged for something I don’t have.

Waste of money

I bought the full pack on a deal then uninstalled eventually and after reinstalling it says no purchase found. BS scam.

Inappropriate

Me and my son was doing it and we don’t say bad words and it said dick and my son said to me him and his girl was doing and and I put my thing in her
