Don’t usually write reviews but

Loved this game! Really needed something to practice my Chinese listening, love that anyone can make a clue video, and that I can play the video over and over. Thanks guys!

Could you add a filter by new option so we can see the latest videos? And maybe more card options?

Great Game for Speaking and Listening!

Needed something different to practice my speaking and listening in Mandarin (love the Mandarin Monkey Podcast btw!). Great game for for just that. Can make my own videos for others to get their practice in and others make their own for me to hear different accents. Sometimes some people get words wrong but that’s all part of learning. Honestly, love it!
