Stop 2 is a fantastic follow-up to the original word game hit. It keeps the core 'Scattergories' style gameplay but adds much-needed polish and new competitive modes. Playing against random opponents online is snappy, and the timer really gets your heart racing.
The new 'Rare' and 'Epic' collectible items add a fun layer of progression without ruining the skill-based nature of the game. It’s a great way to expand your vocabulary while having fun with friends. If you enjoy quick-fire trivia, this is a must-have.

Great game, but…
Mon Jun 24 2024 Digbys_momThis is a great game that causes you to really think outside the usual word puzzle box. But my complaint about this game is the ads. Ads and more ads. Oh and did I mention there are a lot of ads. And it not just the ads but it’s the here’s the ad. Oh you didn’t click to get what we’re pushing. Wait maybe now. No, how about now. Well ok. I guess we’ll let you get back to the game. All of this while you are tracking me across the internet to see what I like and don’t like. Please no is no. I shouldn’t have to say it three times before you get it. I know you have to make your paper but I don’t like to repeat a no. How many people actually give in on the third chance to change their minds?
Why do I keep seeing ads?
Sun Mar 16 2025 bekalynn825I like the game but all the ads got to me so today I paid the “one-time” “for life” fee to not see them. As soon as I was told I purchased this feature, i clicked to start playing game and immediately went to an ad! Since then I have just been given one while playing in arcade. This brought you to two stars. Otherwise it would have been 4.5. Also why does Wharton University not count for that category? Andthere really was an animated film about a cat named Oliver. And there was a Stones song called Blue and Lonesome recorded in 2015 and released 2016 lead vocals by Jagger. And fuchsia is both a flower and a shade of pink. Still seeing so many ads despite paying extra not to. Too many hyper specific categories like Super Bowl MVP, summer and winter medalists etc and something about certain kinds of race car drivers. For us unsportyish people, why not just a medalist, no matter the Olympics, race car drivers in general and Super Bowl players in general or just NFL players in general. You don’t have World series MVP or NBA championship players or haven’t seen them yet. I would understand the Australian prime ministers category for people in Australia. How do they like having a US President category? Why not Irish or Indian PM’s or Mexican presidents then? Needs more general categories. And what the heck are all those reward diamonds for? Just to change colors and pictures on your icon? But most of all, if you offer to make ads stop for a fee, then make them stop.
Frustrating timer, unfair scoring system, and pay to play ruined this game.
Sun May 18 2025 AnnoyedbylosersThis game is seriously flawed, and it’s hard to ignore the issues that keep popping up. The scoring system is a prime example. I’m putting in answers that are clearly correct – names that start with the right letter – but the game only gives me partial credit. It’s frustrating and makes you question whether the game is even registering your answers properly. It definitely takes away from the fun when you feel like you’re not being scored fairly. Beyond the scoring, the timer is way too short. It’s almost impossible to think of a good answer and type it in before the clock runs out. This turns what should be a relaxing game into a stressful rush. And to top it off, you only get a few lives before the game starts pushing you to pay for more. It feels like they’re more interested in getting your money than providing a good gaming experience. Because of these problems, I can’t recommend this game to anyone. It’s just too frustrating and unsatisfying.
game forces me to pay for hints?
Thu Jun 12 2025 jadenken444i like this game. i think the ads are annoying but thats like 99% of games these days. whats really has me upset is when the game forces me to buy hints i dont want or need. ill click on a category and the hint is already there. i thought these were freebies until my coins starting going down. at first i thought i was crazy, or accidentally clicking. my coins would disappear and then i payed attention. when i click on a category my coins go down and theres a hint. its not possible that im clicking it by accident because i dont click the category where the hint button is and im only clicking once. even if i am hypothetically clicking where the hint button is when clicking the category these should be two different actions- you should have to click twice for this to happen. this honestly seems like a scam that works by people not noticing. came to the reveiws to see if anyone else is pointing this out and couldnt find one so i guess its working. then i looked it up and although i found very few people talking about it that fact there were even a few confirms i am not crazy. this is unethical. if i wanted a hint i would use my coins- and its not even on hard letters its for like the most random categories and not even ones im struggling with. cherry on top is the game doing it multiple times per round- so sometimes it literally cost 20-60 coins to play a round. i tried to look in setting for an option to turn this off and couldnt find one. i payed 1.99 for coins but i never will again because yall are so weird for that, honestly want my money back.
Fun concept - kinks to work out
Mon Apr 01 2024 Jojo_mo13Game is fun and a great concept. Was hoping to be a fun game I could play with friends in idle. There are a couple reasons that I am putting the game down for now. There are too many adds for In between these 10 second games. Some of my favorite games that I have spent a lot of time and money are games with no adds but you have the option to watch them for a boost or a cosmetic, etc. those games I will recommend non stop to people. This one is rough just because the rounds are so fast then you have to wait for an add each time. The second thing is tha the secret word game mode is really what I am here for. But it needs more mods to monitor suggestions for words with the categories. There as been quite a few times where a collective group was really into the game and then there was a random word that didn’t quite fit the bill and we were all kinda just disappointed. Also, spelling the word close should count. We had the clue “things in the fridge” first thing that was suggested was horseradish. I spelled it like that and it said it was not a word so I spelled it again to make sure I didn’t mis-type and still wrong so we moved on. We finally got it back to the H category and tried spelling it a few different ways. We googled it and it and we were right the first time. After spending over 200 coins on clues we spelled it the original way that we did at the start of the game and we got it. Just seems like there are quite a few kinks to work out. But once they get some mods and are able to get it going I am ready to start some games up!
Could be better in every way.
Wed Aug 06 2025 DevilishAbigail1. There are ads after EVERY game, and the games are usually only 30-60 seconds long. You are spending just as much time watching the ads as you are actually playing Stop 2 - Word Trivia Game. Not only are they frequent, most ads are very inappropriate and repetitive. 2. Some of these questions and answers are unnecessarily difficult. This reminds me of ‘Jeopardy’, where the questions are the most random unknown things you’ve never heard of. For example, asking millionaires names. I mean, who just knows a famous millionaires name that starts with U? Because I bet you the CPU does. 3. Clicking on the next category uses up coins for hints, when you click where the hint button *would* be. How and why would you take my coins for a hint, when the hint button isn’t even on the screen yet? I have to remember to click on the opposite side every time. Waste of coins.
Fun game, garbage app
Sun Jun 01 2025 MonicabeeBThe game itself is super fun but the app itself is awful. The letter wheel consistently gives repeat or difficult letters, most likely to force you to spend the in app currency so they can then solicit you to spend real currency for more. There are only a very few categories/clues when this game could and should have way more options. There doesn’t seem to be any way to view past games or scores after the first look. That may not even be a big deal if your feed were not cluttered with random game requests, of all types, that you can’t quit or opt out of. I don’t want to play against people outside of my connections all the time, why is anyone allowed to start a game with me? It would be so great if I could play this same game with a better app because this one is obnoxious in so many ways.
fun but too many ads
Sat Jul 08 2023 van !this game is actually really fun but the ads make it basically unplayable. you only have three lives, and you lose a life every time you play a classic round whether or not you win or lose. the games are only a minute or less so three games goes by so quickly, and then it takes almost half an hour just to get one life back??? its insane. so then you have to watch an ad for every single game to get a life back, and like i said the games are only a minute or less, so youre watching an unskippable ad every minute. not to mention you also get an ad as the round ends! my recommendations to the developers is to change the system to lose a life only after losing a game. it makes no sense to punish players for winning and playing the game. this combined with shortening the amount of time it takes for lives to regenerate - down to maybe 5 or 10 minutes. 25 minutes for a single life is unreasonable considering how short the games are. fix these things and youd have yourself a great app that people would actually keep downloaded on their phones, thus creating steady long term ad revenue. sincerely a game designer
