Scattergories Blitz

Although the interface is generally smooth, I’ve found two main problems after playing for only a few days: 1) Several times I’ve been forced to redo a round, answering for a category which I had just responded to. This is a software issue. 2) The categories are somewhat repetitive. I’ve only played three games (5 rounds each) and have seen two or three categories repeated. I’d like to see the bug fixed, and I want the algorithm for choosing the category to provide sometime fresh as often as possible. Repeating the same category over and over again isn’t fun.

terrible

The category was farm animals (something we learn in preschool) and the opponent’s only 2 answers were alpaca and a word that wasn’t in English. In another game, my opponent only had one answer for pizza toppings, and it was sausage. I mean not even pepperoni or cheese, really? Either they’re matching me with foreign players or really dumb and unchallenging bots. Not fun at all.

I waited a while to see if this would correct, but it hasn’t. Since the last update, I play two rounds with an opponent and go back to the menu only to find neither saved! This has been happening constantly & I'm over it. I’m fine with shortening the game to 3 rounds (too many people quit after they lost 3 and wouldn’t finish), but this is ridiculous. I’m sick of playing the same rounds over and over because the game won’t save them correctly. Get it together! And bring back the rematch button. It stinks to find someone good and not be able to play them more than once!

I even deleted it and uploaded it again and it opens to the front page and then locks up. Bummer cause I used to enjoy playing it.

The game is fun but there’s an ad after each round. The categories needed to be updated as well. Idk how there are answers allowed that aren’t even real words or not even in the category at all.

I refuse to believe I (IQ of 174) cannot win this stupid game. They literally never approve my answer and it always becomes a dispute which aggravates me severely. Seeing all these bozos win because they got an uncommon answer which puts them at 62 while i’m at 60 makes me want to punch them in the face. I’m loosing hundreds of coins BECAUSE THIS GAME IS RIGGED! I cannot believe that the app store let this app go on while it is a horrible influence for people with anger issues. This app has the same ad after every round that I lose is OF STUPID MONOPOLY GO!! I HATE MONOPOLY SO STOP IT!! Thank you for listening to my review of this horrid app.

I love this game. But often, things will glitch and it will not work. I have quit playing it for months at a time because it is frustrating. The new, untimed “story” levels are awesome… but you’ll roll and get a topic, and it will be a different topic. Also, often it won’t let you play, and sometimes you’ve just spent coins spinning and it won’t let you play. The next time you can play, it makes you spin again. Waste of coins and frustrating. Also, one of the previous updates caused winnings to be 3 coins after 5 rounds. But on any one round, a hint is 100 coins! It used to be 50 coins each win! I wish this app worked better and the winnings hadn’t changed so drastically, or there was another way to earn the coins. The glitching is super frustrating.

This Scattergories BLITZ game is fun. However the responses are a bit subjective depending on who you are. They should be exact where needed (i.e. Name Tom Hanks movies) and general where needed (I.e. vegetarian meals). Answers for the first are what they are. But for the second, I lost because answers were exact dishes that were so specific like vegetarian bean casserole or sweet potato soufflé with raisins and other rather exact dishes most people wouldn’t know. These answers should have been more general like salads, beans, rice, etc. Also, the view of your opponents responses is sporadic. If I play 15 games, I may only see their responses for 2 games and won’t know why they won. Also, there are many correct answers that are not accepted. (A Man Named Otto was not accepted as a Tom Hanks movie.). Since a year or decade was not specified, it should have been accepted. Since it came out this year, I won’t fuss too much. Additionally 45 seconds is madness. But this one I’ll let go. I guess the rush is a part of the fun. Keep improving. Should be a stellar game once you get some of the kinks out.

Ads after each round is annoying. The players all seem like bots to me.
