A Look at the Online Game " Acrophobia"

There is also a handy feature that allows you to find your friends, should they be online. It not only tells you if they are playing Acrophobia but also what room they are in, the number of players in that room, the current high score and the language filter (whether or not it’s set to adult). This is a very welcome feature as the more you play the more folks you get to have fun with and there may well be some worth playing against in the future. Trying to go through each room on your own to find anyone would be an exercise in frustration.

You can also let the game pick a room for you. It will simply plunk you into the first available room, the only concern it has is for the language filter you choose. I prefer to pick my own room, that way I can look for a game that appears to be just getting underway, maybe look for someone I know… but to each his own.

Gameplay is very straight foreword. You are presented with a list of letters, anywhere from three to seven, and you have to type in words for each letter. Now, you have 60 seconds to determine what your phrase will be and hopefully it will make some kind of sense and with luck it will match the particular category for a given round. That makes no sense to you I am sure, so I’ll give you an example: LWDF might be the random letters for a round and the category might be current events. You have to find a phrase using the random letters that in some way has something to do with current affairs. Often though the phrases that folks come up with make no sense or are not in any way related to the category. This is where the fun comes in, seeing just what others can do with those letters. Once the composition round is over all answers are presented to the group and you have to vote for the answer you like best. You can not, however, vote for your own answer and you have no idea who owns each answer until the voting round is over. These votes are then turned into points. The person who reaches 30 points first wins the round. Points are also awarded for being the fastest answer to receive
