Can’t wait for more

Such a fun game to play with friends offline! I loved how it makes you think about how to explain things based on what you can see, knowing that the other person can’t see your screen. It’s surprisingly challenging and makes for so many funny moments. Loved it! Can’t wait for more games like this! ❤️

So much fun!

Loved the interaction between the game, my partner, and I. Very clever gameplay and story, and a side note, the sound effects were very satisfying and VERY well done.

Such a good game

Actually really good and deffo worth the £3 each for some brain action! Will try the game again from opposite sides and different option in terms of the bee and butterfly!
