SketchPhrase Hits App Store!

December 10, 2012 by ickydime

Kihon’s latest creation is now available for download in the App store. With both free and paid versions. (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sketchphrase-free/id537789715).

What is SketchPhrase? Its a drawing telephone game similar to the classic pencil and paper versions ‘Chinese Whispers’ or more endearingly ‘Eat Poop You Cat.’  Check out the trailer here (thanks Parry Gripp!).

The game is all about interpretation and miscommunication. A group of nine players alternate drawing and writing to create a hilarious comic strip.  It begins with the first player writing a phrase, any phrase.  Example: “Why did the chicken cross the road?”.

This phrase is sent to player 2 who must draw the phrase:

The 3rd player only sees this drawing and must guess what it is. Perhaps they guess ‘Confused man watches Rooster dodge traffic”.  The beauty is there are no wrong answers and it does not require you to be a good artist to play. Its the misinterpretation that is what is so much fun.  Check out this sequence for example:

Sunny Side up… clearly not ‘Your Brain on Drugs’ but its perfect all the same as each turn the story will evolve.  Here is what a completed game looks like:

As you can see, it doesn’t take a great artist to make a funny game (I am making fun of myself here… Mark G.  Stick figures all the way! .

The end comic strip is sent to all participating players to enjoy. You can vote on your favorite panels and share the results with your friends.  Want some more examples? Check out our facebook page for some of the games of the day.

Still have questions? Jump into the game and see for yourself!

Baby Monkey (Going Backwards on a Pig) is going free for a limited time starting this Saturday, Nov. 19th.  Not only are we giving away pure joy, but we are also giving players 1,500 Monkey Bucks if they have five GameCenter friends in the leaderboard.  In the whimsical words of Parry, ‘The world has truly gone insane’.

To celebrate this momentous occasion we will be giving away a plethora of ‘Official’ Baby Monkey T-Shirts.  [Pictured Below]  We will keep adding new ways to enter to this page, our Facebook page, and of course Twitter.  So please check back throughout the weekend!

Ways to Enter (enter as many drawings as you like):

First Drawing: To enter the drawing, ‘Like Baby Monkey’ on Facebook! It is that simple. Already like us? No worries! We are giving the winner 2 shirts. Convince your friends so that they can get a shirt and hopefully will be nice enough to give you the second one!  Everyone who likes us between NOW and tonight (Nov. 18th) at Midnight PST will automatically be entered to win in this drawing.

Second Drawing: Visit Kihon’s Facebook Page (not to be confused to Baby Monkey’s) and post on Kihon’s wall which Parry Gripp video you would like to see as a video game! Again, we will give out 2 shirts to the winner of the drawing.  Encourage your friends to post as well!  All wall posts need to be made by Midnight PST.
