Scattered Categories is a fast paced, creative thinking, highly addictive word trivia game for all the family!!

The aim of the game is simple enough that it can be played by people of all ages but interesting and fun enough to keep you coming back for years!

Can you think of a boy’s name, a movie title, or even something that can float all beginning with a specific letter of the alphabet?

Scattered Categories requires you to think of words for various different categories that all start with the same letter. The key is to be creative enough to ensure that you come up with a unique answer; different from the other players to ensure you are awarded maximum points!

Scattered Categories has 12 lists that are split into 4 different difficulty levels allowing both novice and experienced players many months of fun. Simply shake the device (or tap the button) to select the game letter then select your preferred round time to begin the game. Every player who comes up with a unique answer is awarded a point per category.

The lists in Scattered Categories will cover many different categories and with random letters being selected by the device, no two games will be the same!

Latest reviews of Scattered Categories app for iPhone and iPad

Awful app
The entire purpose of creating an app for the iPhone is so you dont need to use paper and pen to play the game. This app was very poorly advertised that it would not allow me to actually write in my list for the game. Do not buy this app unless you want to carry paper and pen along with it. I wish there was a way to get a refund of my $.99
Dont waste your money!
I cannot believe I just paid for a game I cannot play on my phone. I thought you would be able to play on it. Why would I want to grab a pen and paper!! There are only 3 lists!! Just terrible!!! You dont even deserve that one star I had to give!
DECEIVING!!!
DO NOT BUY! You cant even play this game on your iphone!!! I just spent a dollar on something i already have at home!! >=(
Just the worst
Bought this thinking it was going to be go. Yeah no, thought wrong. I could make a better app. Nice try though.
Save your money!
This app is a waste of money, it is poorly designed and very simple.
