Scribblenauts Unlimited takes the classic create-anything gameplay and expands it into a massive open world. Play as Maxwell and solve puzzles across dozens of seamless levels by summoning any object you can think of. Use adjectives to modify your creations (like a 'giant purple flying car') and explore the backstories of Maxwell's 41 siblings. This version also includes a powerful Object Editor to create truly unique items and share them with the community.

Our Expert Score

93/100

Scribblenauts Unlimited is the ultimate 'imagination' game. The fact that you can type almost any word and have that object appear in the game is still magical after all these years. The 'Unlimited' version adds so much more depth with the object editor and the massive open worlds to explore.

It’s a perfect family game because it encourages creativity and vocabulary. The puzzles often have dozens of solutions—you can solve a problem with a 'giant winged fire-breathing toaster' just as easily as you can with a 'ladder.' It’s a joyful, playful experience that never gets old.

One of the best games but could use a rework
Sat Aug 26 2023 DawsontheScribblenautsEnjoyer

This game was a staple of my childhood, I played for hours for days, doing nothing but playing this game doing fun things like, nuking people, making monsters fight, and other stuff. The levels are very fun but could use some improvement and more stuff to expand the game. The graphic are amazing but another thing that could be added is that the notebook has more things to be added. More Nouns, Adjectives, and more. Overall, this is a game that I will forever cherish and enjoy even years later. Something fun to do when there is nothing else, good for little kids to learn. This is the game that I can finally say is my favorite game for creativity on my phone.

More levels please!

This game is really fun. I love how it encourages people to use creativity and a little bit of logic as well. The game is amazing and all but it really needs more levels added. I also wish you didn’t have to pay for more sets of characters. It feels like a rip-off considering the game is “ unlimited” because this makes you believe you can access all the characters. The game also needs more words added. Another complaint I have is Maxwell only had one sister who you can’t use. This is annoying because as a lady I would like to be able to play as a girl ( and not have to purchase it). If you could include all of this (which I know is a lot of things) the game would be 5 stars.

BEST GAME EVER BY FAR

Oh my god this is the best game I have ever played on my phone!! You can do so much and it really makes you see creative solutions to problems. It is so fun to apply adjectives to things to solve problems, and I have a blast going through each level. However, since this is a huge game, with so many levels, characters, nouns, and adjectives, it does drain battery. From what I saw, it took 18% every 30 minutes, which is above average for most non online mobile phone games. In spite of that, this game is absolutely worth the $5 and is my most beloved game on my phone and continues to be very enjoyable for hours on end!

Great but needs multiplayer

Ok, so this game is great, I finished it with no problems and love the bag tool. Finally I can put my most great items in without having to make them again. But I think there should be a multiplayer game mode, that would make things so interesting and awesome. First, the way to obtain it is you would have to complete the game, get at least half of the starites, and have at least 18 spaces in the bag. That way, you are shown to be creative and you know the game well. Next, the player limit, you can’t just have infinite players, the game would crash. So, the limit I’m thinking is around 25 or 30, a minimum of 4 players to start. Also, you could choose between public, allowing anyone to join, or private, only people that know a password(made by the player)can enter. Last, and most certainly important, the policy. Be like ROBLOX and, if anyone says something inappropriate, replace it with hashtags, no numbers. So, I think that multiplayer should be a thing in this game.

Great! But...(warning spoiler!!)

I think it helps kids develop in there source of writing in imagination! It's a great fun and active game, I never want to stop playing it! But it takes up a LOT of storage and also the ending was way too quick.. suddenly when you collect enough shards lily turns back to normal And that's it 0_0 really? There should be like a small quest to try and save lily! Ending is way to short and ruins all the experience! Also make more items from other games! Like Pokémon, minecraft, and other games! It would be great! You already did Nintendo so why not other games? And please make less storage and lower the price! Please?

Great But...

This game is amazing, really, it is. I've played the whole Scribblenauts series and have enjoyed each and every one of them. And when I discovered Unlimited was on the iOS devices, I just had to get it! I rate this four stars for a reason though: There are ads. It's annoying, and just plain dumb that there are ads on a five dollar game. I'm sure plenty of people, as well as me, would appreciate the removal of these advertisements. Other than that, game is great! Edit from 2017: Yep, I still play this game in 2017, and I have yet to receive a single advertisement in this game. Were they finally removed??

Pretty good
Mon Jun 24 2019 Bit messed up

This version is functionally identical to the 3DS Version, bar a few tweaks (for example, Starite Vision no longer has the cool effect from the other versions) to make the game run better. Oddly, the game uses Maxwell’s Sprite from Scribblenauts Remix, which sort of makes him clash with literally all of his siblings (except Lily, who’s Sprite was changed to a similar style). The game is a bit framey (I think it’s locked at 30 FPS, which looks a bit weird for a game like this), and the object limit is very low (just playing through Storybook Keep is enough to max out the object counter). Overall, it’s a fine port, definitely recommend it.

So there is just one thing.....😌
Sun Jan 06 2019 Adorable puppie chubbies

I love this game and all, but...... there is one thing i do not understand, how come there is no object editor or just editor? I think there is room for improvement, and when i downloaded this game, I realized there was no object editor, plus there should be more levels, and if you can..... PLEASE ADD A BONUS LEVEL!!😆 I would love to have like some type of challenge, also, sinsce there is levels, please do add freeplay along with my ideas, or whatever other people’s reviews say. If you read or respond to this, thank you!🙏🏽😊☺️👍🏽❤️ I hope for updates in the future.
