Wheel of Fame – Guess words

Wheel of Fame – Guess words for Android is a modern take on the classic television series in which we combine ‘hangman style gameplay’ with the spinning for points and guessing phrases in dozens of categories.

What You’re Actually Getting

This trivia game involves guessing words related to movies, music, geography, proverbs and pop culture questions. You use a wheel to score points and then select letters to reveal other letters. The game can be played solo or online with people, where you can challenge your friends or a random player on a «competitive leaderboard». When you answer a question correctly, you earn diamonds. Diamonds are the in-game currency you can use to unlock «avatar customization» options. For example, an outfit or an accessory. The main progression system revolves around accumulating “fame”, allowing your reputation to rise with wins and followers in what is otherwise a consistent word puzzler with a light roleplaying mechanic.

Daily challenges and special event puzzles keep the content rotating, and the colorful visuals matched with the upbeat soundtrack makes the experience ready for all. It is an “educational word game” that quietly builds vocabulary and trivia knowledge while you play. There is an “offline word game” mode that allows you to play the single-player puzzles without being connected to the internet. However, you may need to be online to play with other people and to access certain features.

Free to play the myth and ads

Wheel of Fame is free to download. But, it runs on a freemium model. You will see frequent ads and in-app purchases. Players say there’s too much ads that break the game more than they’d like it to be. The free version allows you to use the basic features of the game but there are several advanced features and content locked-off behind paywalls. Community members say it feels limiting to progress without spending. Further, you can rack up the bill with in-app purchases if you want to get the most out of it.

You can play single player while offline. However, you will need to remain connected to play matches, view leaderboards and get new content. In the review bugs and crash issues that were most frequently complained about which can be disruptive when playing for longer periods.

Who is allowed to spin the wheel

Wheel of Fame is a word puzzle game you will quickly get interested in. It features a fame-based progress system and an «avatar customisation» feature. Both characteristics set it apart from a more basic alternative. The many categories plus regular content updates ensure you’ll replay the game. The multiplayer aspect also adds a social layer for competition. However, the constant ads and lack of sufficient free content make it not the best choice for players looking to get uninterrupted or entirely free experience.

This game would be best for the casual player who doesn’t mind ads and enjoys some solo and social wordplay. Design and educational value of all ages appeal to families. If you want something really generous, something free that lets you play without ads, you may have to look elsewhere. This app is like a game show host in your pocket, letting you play old-school puzzle games on TV, but you’re going to have to sit through some ads or pay up.
