Heads Up!

This game, and another game, by a different name, is my favorite type of game to play. It's a super easy way to play a game that is similar to Password or $100k Pyramid, while only needing an app on your phone.

You choose a category then you and a partner get 60 seconds to try to guess the words on the screen, which one of the players cannot see. One player gives clues, which can't include the word on the screen, and the other player guesses.

The player guessing has the phone on their forehead. When they guess correctly, they turn the phone upward with the screen facing straight up, and the opposite when they want to pass on a word.

My friends and I play it a lot when I'm home in Sacramento. I really enjoy the mental exercise of quickly figuring out the best way to describe a word to get your partner to guess what you're getting at.

I also like games where the joy of the game is simply getting to play it. Heads Up! is definitely that game.

I am not one to typically pay for apps, but this is one of those apps that I think is definitely worth it.

It's so much fun. If you are looking for a high energy game to play with friends and family, then this is it!
