About this game
The licensed mobile version of the TV game show, with puzzles written by the show's own producers and Pat Sajak hosting. Rounds follow the broadcast format: spin the wheel, land on a wedge, guess a letter or buy a vowel, and solve the phrase on the board while dodging Bankrupt and Lose a Turn. A game takes about five minutes. Thousands of puzzles are included with fresh ones released regularly, and a Bonus Round hands you a set of letters just as on TV. Multiplayer lets you challenge friends and family over Facebook or play against strangers, with tournaments for larger prize pools. Puzzle themes travel through cities such as New York, Paris, Tokyo and Hollywood, each opening cosmetic upgrades, and a Puzzle Maker lets you write puzzles to stump friends. Chat and gift boxes round out the social side. A VIP All Access Pass subscription is available for a monthly fee.
Wheel of Fortune Official Game: the full guide
What the game is
Scopely's licensed version of the TV show, with puzzles written by the programme's own producers and Pat Sajak as host. The format is intact: spin, land on a wedge, call a consonant or buy a vowel, avoid Bankrupt and Lose a Turn, solve the phrase. A game takes about five minutes.
It adds a Bonus Round with the show's letter set, multiplayer against friends over Facebook or strangers, tournaments, a Puzzle Maker for writing your own, cosmetic upgrades tied to themed cities, and chat and gifts. A monthly VIP All Access Pass subscription exists. Rated 9+, free, 4.6 from over 100,000 reviewers.
How a session plays
Each round is a race to solve a board. You spin, and the wedge decides how much a correct letter earns; you call a consonant, or spend to buy a vowel, and the letters fill in. Bankrupt wipes your round total, Lose a Turn hands the board to the opponent. Solve first and you bank the money.
Against friends it's turn-based and can stretch over a day; against strangers it's quicker. Tournaments gather larger prize pools, the Bonus Round replicates the show's finale, and between games the city themes open up cosmetics. The Puzzle Maker lets you write a phrase and send it to a friend to stump them.
Why people look for it
Fans of the show, plainly, and the producer-written puzzles plus Sajak's presence are the reasons they choose this over the unlicensed phrase games. Multiplayer with family over Facebook is the other draw, since the show has always been something households watch together. The 100,000-plus ratings reflect how large that audience is.
Look and feel
The real wheel, the real board and the show's colour scheme are the whole visual pitch, and the licence guarantees them. Themed cities such as New York, Paris and Tokyo change the backdrop as you progress. Five screenshots accompany the listing. Expect a glossy, broadcast-style interface with plenty of currency and VIP prompts layered on.
Updates and upkeep
Scopely is a major mobile publisher and the licence implies a long-term arrangement with the show's owners. The listing says fresh puzzles are released regularly, which is consistent with a producer-fed pipeline but can't be checked from here. The rating is 4.6 across six-figure review counts. Only the App Store link is present on this page.
