This app is a companion for the boardgame "Awkward Guests". With it, you'll have new cases in your mobile device, and when you decide to solve you'll be able to check if your solution is correct. * 1.000 different cases * 7 difficulty levels * Solo mode for 1 player * Avoids player elimination * Solutions checked inside the app * Languages supported: English, Spanish, French, Chinese, German, Polish, Russian and Japanese "Awkward Guests" is a boardgame of mystery, deduction and cards, in which each case recreates, in a completely different manner, the night when Mr. Walton was murdered. The players must take on the investigation and, through simple logic reasoning, find out the culprit, the motive, and the weapon of the crime.
Welcome Updates, Musical Glitch
While the app still looks odd scaled to a iPhone 12 ProbMax, the subtle changes in the latest update are very welcome to this frequent solo detective. I’ve played a of games & it’s been much less frustrating not having to try to outwit the app to avoid duplicate clues. My only qualm is the added music: in-app it’s great, perfectly sets the mood, *but* if I exit the app the music keeps playing, even if I lock the iPhone. So far the only solutions I’ve found are either disabling the music (which many players are likely to do regardless) or opening the app switcher to force close AG to make the background music stop.
Ugly, but does its job
tldr: Love the game, tolerate the iOS app I love “Awkward Guests”. I use the app a lot since I primarily play the solo mode, but on my phone (iPhone 12 Pro Max) the graphics are all stretched to fill the screen, rendering everything squat & finicky to interact with. The app looks excellent on any iPad I’ve used it on, and also renders nicely on a friend’s Android phone with a just-larger screen than mine. Speaking of the Android version: why can’t your iOS players have handy, easy drop-down menus? Scrolling to select inquiries/solutions is an absolute pain, especially on an iPhone where the graphics have already been mangled & squashed to fit the screen. For such a top-notch game as AG, the app feels very indifferent to its own existence — despite being the primary means for your players to extract the most value (replay-ability) out of their purchase.
Scenarios missing from app
All the scenarios present in the art booklet are missing in the app. Only the scenarios present in the instruction booklet are in the app which is very disappointing. Would have been easy for the developers to include both.
Works just fine
I have played a few games and love using the app. It has a ton of different cases (and different difficulty levels) and I love the fact that if you guess wrong you can still be in the game. I haven’t tried solo mode, but multiplayer works just fine! A must have to accompany the board game (really fun game, better than Clue in my opinion).
Nice but…
“How” and “Why” are reversed.
Works.....But could be better
I use this app while playing the game with others to prevent player elimination. It works, but wish the app would tell you the guess was wrong. Instead, it just goes blank. When correct, it tells you, and celebrates. That little fix would clear things up. The design for small scrolls was odd, it works, but opening it to pick might have been a little better.
Work fine. Solo mode could be better...
App works well. Solo mode is good, but I keep getting an EXCESS amount of duplicate cards, more than necessary. Please fix the large amount of duplicate cards if you can!
