### 3/5 — TERRIBLE adds

*2026-08-20, version 2.6*

This game had very inappropriate adds for kids, but other than that it was fun. Please fix this.

### 4/5 — Hot potato

*2026-03-15, version 2.6*

It brings the family together it’s fun and a challenge I love to play it

### 2/5 — stupid price

*2025-05-26, version 2.6*

why couldn’t it just be 1 dollar, that was my last 2 dollars that was supposed to feed my family in india. i hope you’re ashamed.

### 2/5 — Timer option

*2024-11-29, version 2.6*

Please add a timer option. Trying to play with kids and they can read a little slower so it kind of didn’t make the game fun with the timer being so quick. The questions are fun.

### 4/5 — Longer timer

*2024-11-18, version 2.6*

I was playing with my family and we were playing the game and the game suddenly stopped and we where like ok nothing special but we kept playing and some of us didn’t even get a chance to play so maybe is there was like a settings so we can adjust the time that would be perfect

### 3/5 — Should be no add would have told all my friends bout this game if it was not for the ads

*2024-06-08, version 2.6*

3 stars

### 3/5 — Three words

*2023-12-26, version 2.6*

SO MANY ADS

### 3/5 — It’s pretty good!

*2023-12-23, version 2.6*

The questions repeat themselves so it gets too easy. I would recommend submitting more questions into the game.. maybe do different section choices-easy, medium, and hard

### 1/5 — This purchase was a mistake!

*2023-12-21, version 2.6*

play time is too short!! Should be able to set the timer!

### 4/5 — Lost the buzzer

*2023-09-29, version 2.6*

I love the game but I’ve lost my buzzer.  My volume is on.  How do I fix this?

### 3/5 — Fun Game, great idea, needs more questions

*2023-08-06, version 2.6*

Love the game! It's soo fun but it absolutely needs more questions. Someone else proposed blank cards where you could add your own questions, which would be fine. I'd pay $10 for this game without ads and way more questions. But I definitely won't pay $1.99 if that only removes ads and doesn't add more questions.

### 3/5 — Needs time option

*2023-06-15, version 2.6*

We love the game but we can only get through three questions every time. The buzzer timer should be able to set yourself. Like if we wanted to get everyone in one round we would go for longer….maybe an option of 30 seconds/1 minute/1 and 30. Just a suggestion 🤷🏼‍♀️

### 1/5 — I hate hot potato

*2026-07-05, version 2.6*

Hot potato is rubbish

### 1/5 — To fast

*2026-05-19, version 2.6*

The time is so fast

### 1/5 — Could be good

*2026-01-18, version 2.6*

Needs a way to adjust time so can go longer

### 1/5 — Worst game ive ever played

*2025-12-21*

If i could do no stars I WOULD! My wife told me we needed to spend more quality time together or she would leave me so I thought hell, why not try Hot Potato: Family Party Game ? It's free and seemed great. I thought it would be the perfect fix for our relationship. NO! This game is so stupid and pointless. I want to speak to whoever made this marriage-wrecking gamed. NOW!! I want to know who had the brilliant idea to create this BS game. 

She divorced me. I have nothing left. Nothing. She took the kids, she took my house, EVERYTHING.

### 1/5 — This game is a joke

*2025-12-08, version 2.6*

I don’t understand

### 1/5 — Nice game

*2025-10-08, version 2.6*

Less adds asking to rate games

### 1/5 — Difficult to navigate

*2025-05-09, version 2.6*

I’m trying to figure out how to cancel my subscription. The games makes it impossible to work this out.

### 1/5 — Hate

*2024-12-04, version 2.6*

IM RATING IT A ONE SINCE U WONT STOP SSKINGGGGYYYUH HAYE

### 1/5 — Make it longer

*2024-03-15, version 2.6*

Guys! We want to play with large groups. Make the hot potato time adjustable (i.e a 15-30 second option, 30-45 second option, 60-90 second option, 1-2 minute option, etc.)

Even the paid version is done way too fast! Will update my review if this gets fixed.

### 1/5 — The games way to fast

*2024-01-21, version 2.6*

Doesn't give you any time to have even more than 2 passes before it gets “to hot”
