Thoroughly delightful
Any literature nerd will be positively giddy about this little game! The visual style is lovely and sets the mood perfectly. It’s a game that simultaneously celebrates fine works of literature while not taking itself too seriously. In fact, the player can decide exactly how serious they want to be! Recommend 100%
Love this, would pay for extra content!
What a little gem! The illustrations are fantastic, and the content is great. Relaxing /challenging modes, and a fun gameplay scheme. I’d buy extra content packs in a heartbeat. Great job.
Wish there were more . . .
I adored this game; I only wish there were more quotations or in app purchases.
Awesome
Great app very stimulating and entertaining.
*Accessibility*Problem* - Why is there no landscape option...
Why, oh why is there no landscape display option for this game, the mode I can use to play games on my iPad⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️ Developer: As a humanitarian gesture, please update accordingly, let me know, and I’ll happily write a complete game review after reinstalling this app. Meanwhile, I just wasted my money on an app I can’t use. ☹️☹️☹️
So Fun!
As an English major with a love of Mad Libs and silly jokes, this game couldn’t be more up my alley. I can quiz myself on classic texts, read and remember things I haven’t read in a long time, and let my kids play along with me and learn some of these texts. Plus, I can make up silly versions and then read them aloud in funny voices until my daughters roll their eyes at me and that’s worth the price of the game all on its own. I would love to see some more classic children’s lit (Anne of Green Gables, Secret Garden, Black Beauty, Treasure Island, etc.) and maybe some really tough challenges (a little Gertrude Stein?) It would also be cool to play with more plays than just Shakespeare’s. Marlowe, Shaw, Chekov, Ibsen, Strindberg—all would be great! Thanks for the great game!
A novel word game involving famous texts.
How fun! I have done about 10 of these so far. They start easy. It is very satisfying to discover that I do remember some of the Shakespeare I used to memorize because I was so in awe of him. But then they start to get harder. But it’s okay because even the “wrong” answers are fun. I just go back and redo until I’m satisfied with my percentage of “right” answers. There are a whole bunch of achievements to work toward, including things like getting every answer “wrong”, which I suspect is hard to do. I love word games but sometimes I get tired of the same sorts of games showing up in the apple store. What a rare and pleasant surprise to find one that is unlike any other that I’ve found.
Addictive and Educational
Love this game! English majors, beware. You too may sometimes be stumped!
Love this app
I really like this app; it’s fun and you learn some new texts. I suggest f. Scott Fitzgerald and maybe some world literature ??
