A fun looking family friendly word game.
LONDON: November 27, 2013: Marvelous Games, a division of Japanese publisher MarvelousAQL, best known for the highly-acclaimed title No More Heroes and Harvest Moon, today unveiled Wurdy, a brand new party app designed to bring the entire room together – at home or on the go.
Wurdy, developed by UK studio SockMonkey, is a fun, social word-guessing game that couldn’t be easier for the whole family to play. Simple in concept but frantically fun in the execution, players just need to grab a bunch of friends and pick from a wide selection of categories for each 60 second round. Then, without any motions or cheating gestures, they must accurately describe words to their friends as quickly as possible before the time runs out.
Available on the App Store from December 5th, Wurdy will launch with an expansive selection of word packs, covering a wide range of topical categories, including the latest infootball news and celebrities, as well as TV/film, general knowledge, and even a kids’ section. Regular pack updates will also be updated after Wurdy’s initial launch, which will keep each game feeling fun, fresh and as timeless as the last.
Social sharing is at the heart of Wurdy. Unlike any existing party game currently available on the App Store, Wurdy captures those comical moments with friends by uniquely recording video gameplay from the perspective of the quiz master. The frantic and funny expressions people make when describing clues to their friends can then be seamlessly shared with friends and competitors across Facebook and YouTube.
Wurdy will initially launch on iOS platforms for $1.99 USD on December 5th, with the Android version coming soon at a later date.
