Quick facts
The Animals category is free and holds 96 puzzles. The other eight categories are part of Premium, bringing the total to 399 playable cards.
Where should you start?
If this is your first game, start with Animals. It is the biggest and most forgiving category, and it works with sound effects alone, which is the easiest entry point for little ones.
For preschoolers, Fruits and Colors go down well because the words are short and familiar. For school age kids, Emotions and Jobs bring the real challenge, since you have to act out a whole situation rather than a single object.
Build a category about your own family
Premium lets you create your own categories. Pick photos from your library or type in words, and you have a personal deck: relatives, favorite cartoon characters, everyone in the class or the places you visited last summer.
Photos used in custom cards are stored on the device only and are never uploaded anywhere.
