It's an addictive game with minimal to almost no ads, but the way it marks you incorrect for several valid answers is why I'm done. I'm constantly reporting answers that were marked wrong for no good reason, but keep running into the same issue where the game is clearly in the wrong. Is "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em" not a toy/board game anymore? I'm sorry, but it's just not fun when half of your answers are marked incorrect every other game when any logical thinker would say they're indeed correct.

The game itself is fairly fun, however it takes way too long waiting for your opponent. If there was an auto or practice mode where you could continuously play, the game would be better. I also feel as though the letter almost always stops somewhere at the end of the alphabet. Anyway, it was ok for a bit, but not one I would keep or recommend at this time.

Hi, sorry for that. We cannot force anyone to play the game, therefore it happens that some players simply forget about their game. We can only recommend you to start multiple games at a time so you'll always have some rounds to play. For questions, just send us an email to stop@fanatee.com. Have a nice day! =)

I decided to give this game a try despite the negative reviews about ads, because I tend to be able to ignore in-game ads. However, this truly is excessive. The fact that the game rounds are sometimes less than a minute, followed by sometimes a full minute of 30 second ads back to back absolutely ruins the game play for me. Being able to watch ads for lives or for boosters would be preferable, but as-is, I cant give this more than 2 stars
