Pictionary Air Game (8+ Yrs)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can't find anyone in support who can help me get the screen to go to "landscape" and "portrait" modes. Once, it was in landscape but will no longer change views. I would like someone in support to help me.

This game seems like it’s fun but on the first use we noticed when drawing one line the pen drew 3 lines. When holding the button down and keeping it still lines and circles were popping on screen. How can this be fixed???

Firstly, Mattel assume anyone with an iPhone also has an Apple TV device. It will not let you cast from iPhone to Chromecast. Secondly, the app just doesn’t work. Video is just frozen, then moves for 2 secs, then freezes, it doesn’t pick up the light, you can’t draw anything intentional at all. You just get a few random marks on screen while the drawer is just frozen. Utterly terrible. I note Mattel have put a load of fake and paid reviews on here too, which is a real shame.

Installed the app but it kept loading when started up

Got this as a gift and the family loves playing this game! It would be great if you could purchase an expansion pack of cards for the game!

Don’t make a game unless it works! So disappointing

I forked out on the game only to find that the app won’t work on my iPhone. I tried it on another iPhone with the same result. Might be asking for my money back unless it’s fixed soon!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Drawing stuff in the air seems like fun but no matter how big we try to draw it looks like a blob. Hard to use for kids and adds a harder element since you can’t see what you are drawing. It would be better if we could see what we are drawing and have it show up to the tv or computer or even a small phone screen.

Bought for my daughter. Opened box to play. Pen does not change color from red to green. We tried changing out batteries but nothing. Disappointed!

The pen is defective and every time we try to draw or clear the screen, it just randomly scribbles all over and ruins whatever we are trying to draw.

It took a while to set up the app and tv casting but works well once the tech is sorted. However, during play the app constantly displays irritating ‘tips’ RIGHT ACROSS THE PLAY AREA! So you cannot see what you’re drawing properly. This tip feature cannot be turned off so ultimately it’s not playable, which is a great pity as it has a lot pf potential. Seems underdeveloped

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family was excited to try this! After downloading the app on an iPad and setting up the camera against a different wall from the TV, we were able to cast to the TV for the players guessing. The pen does not require Bluetooth to play this, just pop in the battery and turn it on. It responds to the light-up color of the pen tip, which is red when you turn it on and green when you hold down the button to draw. Part of the fun is that you can be a little “off” as you’re drawing, because you cannot see the lines you’ve drawn. (If you do happen to try to watch yourself on the TV, it makes drawing harder because it is a mirror image). The “ink” color matches whatever team color you choose. It defaults to Blue vs. Yellow (which matches the color of the cards), but you can adjust to others, like pink, green, orange, or purple when setting up a match. During setup, you also choose how many rounds (a minimum of 3) and how much time per round (a minimum of 90 seconds). Ideally, I would’ve liked to have had the option to customize time lengths per team in case you want younger players to have more time. Speaking of ages, this game is listed as Ages 8+, which seems about right. My 5 & 7 year olds played this, with varying difficulty. 5yo needs someone to read the clues to her and has trouble keeping the button held down on the pen when trying to draw- so overall, too young to play but wants to be included so we had one of the grownups help guide the pen with her. 7yo needed a little help with reading the clues, but could navigate the pen fairly well. Both got frustrated at points, but my 7yo still loved it and wanted to keep playing after the rest of the family was done. They also had to be reminded that they could interact with their drawings to help guessers. With older players, you wouldn’t have some of those issues, and I would definitely recommend as something to try for game night! The only other minor complaint is that the clue cards are supposed to be the same level of difficulty, but there are definitely some that seem a lot harder than others. As the game is running, there’s a way to keep track of clues that have been guessed correctly by clicking on the star icon (which also clears the drawing for the next clue), a pause button, and an eraser to clear whatever’s currently drawn. For my younger ones, we used the pause button at times to give them a little extra time to think. I imagine we’ll continue to get more use out of this game as the kids get older and I look forward to playing with more adults once the pandemic lockdown is over! I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are Apple users so mirroring my screen to our Apple TV was no problem. Takes to time to figure out the kinks (lighting, pen usage, etc) but once we got going it was a fun game! Lots of laughs and great family time. Seeing the game on the TV is a big advantage if you’re hosting a large group or have a large family.
