An RPG-trivia quiz hybrid, this quirky little game uses a hangman-style game for its battle dynamic, which promises “a mystery that unfolds as you play”.
You get to choose the quiz category: they include topics such as “Internet Culture”, “Geography” and “Comic Book Trivia”. You can of course cheat by switching to a browser and googling the answer.
BeepBoop and The Child need your help! Take on thousands of Trivia questions and unlock the mystery of their dying planet in this trivia, hangman RPG
Part trivia, part RPG, Phrased Out is a mixed-genre, trivia quest experience for those who love trivia challenges, RPG-style leveling, and story games.
As you win battles you earn Chips – getting more for a “perfect” game (no letter-guessing errors) or for speed. This latter does depend on how long the answer is, it doesn’t seem to allow extra time for longer words. I typed “Leonardo da Vinci” at the same pace I typed “Sweden”, for example, but only won the speed bonus on Sweden. In the Workshop, you then use Chips to upgrade BeepBoop’s different abilities – which apparently is critical if you want to win the game.
