Fictionary is the digital evolution of the classic 'Dictionary Game,' and it successfully captures the hilarity of trying to outsmart your friends with creative lies. As a 'Pass and Play' experience, it’s the perfect companion for social gatherings, provided you have at least three people ready to flex their vocabulary muscles. The premise is simple: one person picks an obscure word, and everyone else writes a believable but fake definition. The real magic happens when the definitions are read aloud; trying to identify the true meaning among a sea of convincing fabrications leads to constant laughter.
While the interface is straightforward and the word library is vast (over 600 words), the game’s local-only nature is both its strength and its limitation. You need to be in the same room to play, which keeps the social interaction high but limits playability for solo users. There have been some reports of minor bugs in earlier versions, but the current build feels stable. It’s a nostalgic, paper-free way to enjoy a classic parlor game, rewarding those who can mimic the dry, academic tone of a dictionary while spotting their friends' linguistic traps.
Over 600 carefully selected obscure words
Pass and Play local multiplayer mode
3 to unlimited player support
No internet connection required
Simple, intuitive UI for group settings
Gather at least three players and one iOS device. Enter player names to begin the round.
The 'picker' selects a word. Everyone else writes a fake definition on the device before passing it back.
The picker reads all definitions aloud. Players vote for the one they think is real. You get points for correct guesses and for every player you fool.
No, Fictionary requires at least three players as it is a social 'Pass and Play' game.
Very fun game with tons of laughter but there is a bug in this version which asks players to keep entering a second round of fake definitions so we weren’t able to play more than two rounds in the same game before the bug popped up.
We used to play the “dictionary game” often growing up. We would laugh so hard at some of the strange definitions that our friends would come up with. This is so much more fun since you don’t need those slips of papers anymore. Just pass the phone! Thanks so much, Enriqué.
Really fun and entertaining game to play with friends! It spurs creativity and makes it easy for a lot of people to play at the same time! Highly recommend.
