Scream The Game

Hi! So, five star review because I genuinely enjoy this game! It’s super fun to play with friends, and a perfect addition to any Halloween party! However, I do have a question and/or concern. Does anyone else have the problem of the game messing with the home screen of your phone? When I tilt my phone sideways and don’t open the lockscreen, eventually it will change the clock and the whole background red and black, and will use pictures from your camera roll to use as a background, though its all red and black, barely visible unless you squint. I found this out by accident, when I was simply vibing and soon saw Ghost Face was starring backs at me, again barely visible on screen. We tried it with my friend who also has the apps, and the same thing happens. Does anyone else have this problem, and can anyone explain if this is normal?

I got this game for my birthday. As a huge gaming family, we’ve had a great time! It is super easy to learn and fast paced, so you can play several rounds quickly! I love the game pieces, the figurine is super detailed and all the cards look great. The knife piece to symbolize turn is super cool, but a little cumbersome and often got ignored as the game went on. My main critique comes within the app. The design is super cool, and there are no issues when playing the game, but the set up takes the longest time. There is a button to play again, but it takes you back to the beginning where you must write in all the players again, as well as check off a number of settings to begin the next game. The ability to save settings, as well as previous players, would bring this game back up to the five stars it deserves! Incredible game, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoy games like Space Team, as it is of a similar vein! Also obviously to any scream fans!

Overall this was a great family game. The instruction video could use some work. The only way to learn how to play is to read the instructions. By the time you are done reading them you question if you still want to play as it feels overwhelming. I would recommend a “repeat game” option so you don’t have to keep re-entering everyone’s name. Also, maybe a mode between normal and hardcore. Great game idea. Some fine tuning is all that’s needed.
