Rewind Riot is the hilarious party game where you take turns with your friends guessing phrases played backwards. Watch your friends get tongue twisted trying to repeat what they hear into the microphone. Be the best at listening and sounding it out backwards and you'll be the winner! Play using just one device with as many people as you want or just a friend. Everyone gets a turn at trying to guess, but it's just as fun to watch! Find your next game night go-to with the family or bring the house down at your next party! How to play Rewind Riot: Add your players, pick a category and get your ears ready. Each turn has two players and a phrase from the category. One player speaks the phrase into the microphone normally while the other covers their ears so they can't hear it. Then watch their head spin when they hear the phrase played backwards! They have to repeat that sound back into the microphone and then listen to it reversed again. If they were good enough, it will sound like the original phrase! If they can guess it quickly they'll really start racking up the points. See which one of your friends has the best ears, or maybe it could be you! Features: - Over a dozen categories featuring thousands of different phrases to play with! - Three or four difficulty modes to choose from, depending on the category - No ads! Comes with 7 free phrase packs to try! - Phrase packs include tons of pop culture references from movies, music, decades and more! Get ready to listen and laugh, try Rewind Riot tonight!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Rewind Riot at none against Backpacker™'s shown. Rewind Riot also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 weeks). Backpacker™'s advantage is ratings volume (5.4K vs 1) and chart position (#181 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
