Word Quest - Play-through and Review - Levels 1 - 8 - July 2024

~~~~~ What is Word Quest? What kind of game is Word Quest? ~~~~~

Word Quest is a reverse word scramble jumble type game. The player is given several words and a blocks of letters and the player is tasked with guessing the commonality.

~~~~~ Is Word Quest “Pay to Win”? What do you get for spending real world money? ~~~~~

You get hints. You can get hints by watching advertisements or by paying real world cash.

~~~~~ Is there any objectionable material in Word Quest? ~~~~~

There isn't any objectionable material that we have found. After all, this is a word game.

~~~~~ Is Word Quest fun to play? Is the game challenging? Is this game a grind? ~~~~~

For those who enjoy jumble-style puzzles, this game can give you a nice dose without the commitment of larger puzzles.

As with any word puzzle games, challenging is a relative term. It all depends on your skill level and vocabulary.

Is this a grind? Only if you need to do multiples in a short time.

~~~~~ What about in-game advertisements? How many are there? How intrusive are they? Do you get anything for enduring them? ~~~~~~

We have encountered mandatory advertisements. 😢️
Fortunately, these were skippable.
Putting the device in airplane mode stops that.

~~~~~ What are the pros and cons of this game? ~~~~~

Pros:
Small crossword puzzles.
Levels are short.
Hint system which can assist the word or solve the puzzle.

Cons:
No background music.
Limited sounds.
Unable to shuffle or move blocks around.
Some of the words are not found in a standard dictionary.
Some of the words do not make obvious sense in relation to the given clue.
Some of these puzzles require a large English vocabulary. While I would expect a difficulty increase at level 500, having uncommon words in the early levels detracts and is mildly depressive.

~~~~~ Do you recommend this game? ~~~~~

We would like to. In of itself, there is nothing majorly wrong with this game. Sure, it could use music and different background skins but those are not deal-breakers.

This game could do very well with children and teenagers if the game was geared towards their vocabulary level. Some of the categories are a bit obscure and we had to use a reference guide to solve some of these.

The bottom line is that we just think this is a lost opportunity.
