Icon Pop Quiz

Fee: Free ownload app

Applicable Devices: Android, iPhone, iPad

“Icon Pop Quiz” is a famous app made by Alegrium Games and is personally my favorite app for my smart phone. With those cute cube-shaped pictures, Players have to name pictures right to complete each level and category. The more precisely and quickly the answer a player type in, the higher score the player will acquire.  Even though there are many similar games in the market, Icon Pop Quiz is one of the most delicately-designed of its game surface among those. Here are some features of the game.

Hundreds of Cute and Fabulous Pictures

There are more than four hundred icons for game players.  This game includes three main categories, each with five levels. The three main categories are Famous People, TV& Film and Characters. Players have to conquer one by one to gain game tokens and scores.

Help! Help! Help!

Feel frustrated to meet bottle neck in the game? Just ask for help when you need it. After a player name the right answers of pictures, the player will acquire tokens, which can be spent for hints or answers in the game. There are five methods for players to get back to the track. Get some knowledge about the picture by “Hint”, remove irrelevant words from the keyboard with “Eliminate Keys”, or use “Open Letters” to reveal some letter of the words. It is even more terrific that players can also ask help from friends via Twitter and Facebook in this game!

Having Fun with Friends

In my personal opinion, this game is perfectly suitable to play with friends. Take myself as an example, I usually play this game with my roommate during our commuting time to classes based on two reasons. First of all, you would really need helps from others while playing this game, especially when you feel frustrated to try spelling the names correctly. Second, this game can provide you and your friends a great sense of achievement after you revolve the toughest one.

Some Flaws Wait to Be Improved

This programming of Icon Pop Quiz is currently really unstable. The game might shot down or stop working abruptly when you are about to resolve the puzzle. That is quite annoying when players are paying full attention playing the game. I just hope this programming bug can be eliminated soon.
