## What is Scary Minds?

Scary Minds is a word puzzle for the whole family. The hints sound scary. The answers never are.

Every riddle gives you three hints. The first one sounds like a monster under the bed. The second one narrows it down. The third one is plainly harmless and points straight at the answer: something ordinary you see every day. Spell it from the letter tiles and find out there was nothing to be scared of.

HOW IT PLAYS
- Three hints per word, from spooky to simple. Every hint is true.
- Spell the answer from a bank of letter tiles. Shuffle, Clear and Skip are always free.
- Solve on the first hint for 3 candies, the second for 2, the third for 1.
- Spend candies to reveal a letter or clear the decoy tiles.
- Stuck after all three hints with too few candies? Reveal the answer for free.
- 8 levels, from 3 letters to 10 letters.

PARTY TIME
Read the hints aloud to 2 to 8 players or teams and see who shouts the answer first. Points for fast guesses, a ghost for any guess that was scarier than the answer, and awards for the Bravest Mind and the Spookiest Mind. It also plays on Apple TV, on the big screen.

EVERYWHERE YOU ARE
- iPhone and iPad, with your progress and candies kept in sync through your own iCloud account.
- Apple Watch, with the free level on your wrist.
- A Riddle of the Day on the Home Screen, the Lock Screen, StandBy and your watch face.
- Game Center achievements.
- Five free themes, each with its own app icon.

FAIR AND KIND
- Level 1, 10 party words, the watch, all hints, candies and themes are free forever.
- Scary Minds Pro is one purchase: levels 2 to 8, the full 60-word party deck, and every level added later.
- No ads, no accounts, no candy for sale, no timers pushing you to come back.
- Scary Minds collects no data.

Spooky but gentle: every word and hint is written for families with kids 9 and up.
