Scribblenauts Remix is the ultimate creative sandbox. In this award-winning game, you help Maxwell solve puzzles by summoning anything you can imagine. Simply type a noun and watch it appear! Use adjectives to customize your creations—from a 'huge purple rideable t-rex' to a 'tiny flying bathtub.' With 50 levels and a limitless Playground mode, your only limit is your vocabulary.

Our Expert Score

96/100

Scribblenauts Remix is a miracle of a mobile port. For those unfamiliar with the series, it is essentially a game with a built-in dictionary of over 20,000 items. You solve puzzles by simply typing the name of an object, and it manifests in the game world. Want to get a star out of a tree? You could type 'ladder,' 'jetpack,' or even 'giant hungry beaver.' The creativity is truly limitless.

The 'Remix' version combines the best levels from the original DS game and Super Scribblenauts, making it a 'greatest hits' collection. The touch-to-move controls are much more intuitive than the original d-pad, and the 'adjective' system allows for even more madness. You can summon a 'flaming blue aggressive toaster' and watch it interact with the world. It’s an incredible educational tool for kids and a hilarious sandbox for adults. It’s one of those rare games that makes you feel like a genius and a comedian at the same time.

Great Game! However...
Sun Apr 01 2018 llamagirlie435

I’ve gotten scribblenauts multiple times on different devices, and I absolutely loved it! The idea of having the power to make almost anything you can think of (ex. a giant friendly rainbow llama?) is amazing to me! I especially love playing this with my little brother. Unfortunately, this game is costly. First, the game itself costs 99¢, which to me isn’t that big of a deal. However, they proceed to charge for worlds, skin packs, and other silly things. What I personally would suggest is maybe making the game cost $1.50-$1.99 just so you can have the overall game itself. It’s better to do this than to keep doling out money just so you can keep playing a great game that harnesses imagination very well!

Great game, but...

This was an amazing game! It lets imagination run wild. I love this game! There is something I do not like though. This game already costs money, but then there is a lot of in app purchases. They only give you 3 boy avatars, and give you a girl if you sign up for something! There are many more avatars, but you have to purchase them in packs! Plus, they only give you 5 worlds to play at, unless you want to purchase more! I think that if you make someone purchase an app for money they should get the unlimited plan. This game is great, but they are crazy to make people have to buy stuff in a game that cost money. 😤😤😤

Money grab
Fri Jan 05 2018 Cconn67

I used to like this game when I played it on my Nintendo DS because it was so unique and cool. Now it’s on the App Store and I thought I’d pick it up to see what has changed. First of all, you have to pay money to buy the app, which is fine, it’s a good game. I then found out that the first purchase only unlocks 5 levels. Frustrated, I forked out some money to pay for the expansion. Playing through the levels, I realized that the devs really hadn’t spent much time at all creating them and the game started to feel a bit cheap and repetitive. As time went on, I started to lose interest, but then something new sparked my interest. IT COSTS EVEN MORE MONEY IF YOU WANT MAXWELL TO HAVE A DIFFERENT SKIN. They made stupid skin packs with like 9 skins that cost a dollar each. If the expansion thing wasn’t too much, this was for sure. This game has a thumbs down from me now.

Awesome plain awesome

First off let me tell everybody who is say that this is a cash grab it is not I understand that you do not want to pay for more levels but it is only a dollar also you do not have to have the skins. But back to the point this is an awesome game that I love. Me and my friend like to play it but because of the coronavirus we have to do it over zoom. I have a couple of suggestions, first can you make more levels and second can you make a multiplayer mode that you can build a world with friends in. I love the game and keep the levels coming.

Could be better.

Basically scribblenauts limited with restrictions and no gripping story and very little motivation. Since Scribblenauts unlimited is by far their most sucsessful and remembered game (in my opinon) I understand this game would be something they would leave as it is, but it needs less limitations. However, with less limitations, it would just be scribblenauts unlimited so, I can’t think of any way I would fix the game personally. If your looking for a time killer, consider it, but if your looking for something more, not worth your time or money.

Good game😍😍😍
Fri Aug 04 2017 aldo so cool

Great game! I'm hopping that I get scribble naghuts unlimited!Theres a update that I just wanted u to add... Update: Make more puzzles for Scribblenauts so that much more players can entertain with the game! Oh and one more update is that can u just let all players to get the full version beacuse in other reviews peaplo are saying: I don't wanna pay to get the 99¢ world pass so can you let all the players to get the world pass. I'll be happy If you do it 😊😍 Any ways BYE 👋 and thank u for making the app good and perfect 👌bye!!!!😂😇😇😜😋

Bug fix
Sat Dec 12 2020 Dan and Gabe

This game is cool and all, but there is one problem. Even though this game is old, I do enjoy playing it, but I keep getting kicked out of the game. Like, it literally kicks me out of the game and onto my phone home screen. Then when I go back in the game, it actually starts the game from the starting loading screen. Can you fix that please?

Fix this issue and I’ll give you the other four starites.

I’ve been revisiting this game and have been having a great time, however… I like to listen to podcasts on a different app while I’m playing, and for some reason, the game pauses whatever external music/podcasts/audiobooks I might be playing from another app. I have the sound turned off in the game settings, but this still happens. The game is worth 6 out of 5 stars, but this problem knocks it down to 1, unfortunately. I know the game hasn’t been updated and y’all have basically no incentive to fix this bug on my account, but it would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
