Cattergories

I can't figure out how to start playing a game. There is no start button and the help section is anything but. It only tells the rules. When I turned my tablet sideways there was a timer counting down from 29 until the next game would begin but when the timer got down to 25 it would start back over at 29. It just repeatedly does this. Very frustrated.

This game is the same exact kind of idea as Scattergories! Witch has Always been my favorite childhood game growing up with my family:) unfortunately.. its kind of had to find the game anywhere these days, plus its only sold seasonally at places like toys r us for example.. Plus its always around 30$ to purchase it! So when I happened to think about the game again.. I typed in scattergories into the search bar.. All the sudden.. This Cattergories Game popped up!!! I was soo happy when I realized that the spelling was very similar to the game I have played, the picture it was showing looked exactly like what I had been hoping for, And Best of all... The App Is Free:) Wooo.. Made my Night.. I have to admit...lol (can tell how exciting my nights usually are;)....Anyways..Im going to submit this comment and Go try it out for the first time..And I really hope that its what I think it will be and I don't get my hopes up for nothing..lol But Would FORSURE recommend to Everyone ALL Ages..Night

@Pris - Peck has been added to that category. The database is extensive, but every now and then something missing crops up, which I'm more than happy to fix. The only country which has ever been accepted for the Continents category is Australia, as it is both. In the heat of a fast-paced game it is possible to misread the category (Countries is one as well). That's part of the challenge! @Buffardi - The metals category was initially missing several values the first day it was added in July, however that was corrected soon after. I'm very sorry you encountered that problem. Spelling should be taken care of by Windows auto-correct and spellchecking (if you see a red underline, tap or right-click the word for corrections!). As the game suggests, pressing space after typing a word helps here. I'm looking at options to handle misspellings differently without awarding the full point, stay tuned.

This is a truly enjoyable app. I love how unique the questions are, I am always forced to think. I also love how at the end of each round you can see the most obscure and common answers. I only wish there was a way to create a game for specific people so I could play against friends and family.

The game does not accept answers such as peck for a unit of measurement when it most definitely is. Accepts names of countries when answer is supposed to be a continent. These are just a couple of the errors in the game
