The force is fun with this new toy!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Playing Pictionary with friends and with a star wars themed set was a lot of fun over the weekend. Convinced some buddies along with the kids to join us in playing the game. Although some had little to no knowledge, it was still pretty fun. We did had some trouble getting the display to show up on the television but we sufficed to just using a cell phone and passed it around to use per group.

Super easy, fun game for the whole family
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used pictionary air a few nights ago with my family for a family game night. My 10 yr old is a huge star wars fan so she was super excited to try the game out. Connecting the game with the tv was super easy. The game is absolutely fun to play. Very easy to work the app. My kids were even able to run the app without assistance. I did find the some of the things on the cards were really difficult to draw so we just changed the rules a bit. Id give the game 5 stars howeber the only complaint that i really had was we noticed that sometimes in certain light the game would pick up that we were using the pen even when we werent so sometimes it messed our drawings up. We just turned the phone away from brighter spots and it worked perfectly. 10/10 recommend. You dont have to be a star wars fan to enjoy this game either!

Family fun especially for Star Wars fans!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was such a fun game! We played this on our tv and it really made Pictionary come to life. The R2D2 drawing pen added extra fun. It was a little hard for the smaller players to air draw but after a few rounds everyone got the hang of it. The clues were a little hard but some of them were really fun to air draw and put ourselves in the drawing.

Great for star wars fans
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We all remember playing old fashion Pictionary. Now Pictionary air is a fun, interactive game that is made for todays world. It is simple enough that your parents/grandparents can play as well as your children (older then 8). A true family game. If you are a star wars fan then this version is perfect for you.

Pictionary with a twist!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is fun twist on traditional Pictionary. Just download the app and start playing. There are three levels of difficulty making it fun for all ages. The R2D2 wand allows players to "draw" onto the screen of you phone or tablet so no need for pencil and paper. Easy to pack for trips too!

Fun but not easy to draw a good picture
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had fun with the game. We found that the drawing tool did not usually portray the image that was intended. Nevertheless, my boys enjoyed trying to draw and guessing. Also, a lot of the clues were little too challenging for 8 year old boys. However, overall, it was a fun game.

Play a new version of a classic game
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great new game! This takes a classic game and beloved franchise and combines them for extra fun for drawers of all ages. We had a blast playing with the pen and it kept the family entertained for hours. My husband might have loved it the most!

Great game.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game is really fun to play if you have a good knowledge of star wars. The pen is easy to use and easy to connect to a device. We had a fun time playing and trying to figure out the clues. Would love to get the other versions to play more.

Great product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this! We try to limit wifi and bluetooth usage in our home and were delighted to find that this app used neither one. Simply turn on the camera and play! My son had some much fun watching his images come though on the device screen.

Fun and Challenging Game for Star Wars fans
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pictionary AIR Star Wars is a fun twist on the original Pictionary game - both in terms of the delivery and with the Star Wars theme. I deleted a Star from our rating because the set up on the game for TV projection was not the easiest. The app is fairly easy to follow, but there are no print or in-app directions on how to cast the image to the TV beyond saying that you can. I needed to Google a few things - including the type of phone I had and the type of casting that I had access to, in order to get something to work. Perhaps with a different set-up (phone or casting), it would have been easier. It would have been nice to have more detail on the various phone/casting that are recommended or even possible.
The play of the game is fun, although it definitely requires Star Wars knowledge! It also would be more fun with more people. However, we were able to play with just 3 family members and have some fun with this game.
I would recommend this game for Star Wars fans, and for those that are technically inclined that are looking for a fun twist on the original Pictionary Game!

Great idea, but could use some refinement.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The concept of drawing in the air with a pen seemed neat. The AA battery is included for the pen, and it comes with a little a plastic stand for your mobile phone, or maybe a small tablet to place it upright during game play after you download ‘Pictionary Air’ app. There are two stacks of cards with four words and one Starwars image on each side of the cards to choose from when playing game.
The first trouble we encountered playing this version of Pictionary was when downloading the app into our ipad, it for some reason never connected to the camera. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, the gave the app permission to access the iPad camera, but was unable to do it.
I then switched to downloading the app to my phone (I’m on an iPhone X with iOS 15.5, so your mileage may vary). It was straight forward and was able to use the camera. The only problem now was; that all our family had to gather really close to look at the phone screen (hence the first choice of using the larger screen on a tablet) while the person drawing in the air with the pen attempted to draw his picture. Depending how far the person drawing is from your phone with the app, there was some lag for the line drawing to show on the phone screen. Same issue if the person drawing; wanted to see what was showing on the screen, or if his drawing in the air input needed adjusting or erased. This just added unnecessary time that the player could have used to keep drawing while it was his turn.
We also tried casting to our Apple TV from our phone to be able to see the drawn image larger in the TV, it did work in that respect. But the lag from moving the pen in the air to showing in the phone screen and then the TV still persisted or sometimes a felt even laggier.
The cards with the choice words to draw themselves were good and the added Star Wars images a nice touch for Star Wars fans, but sometimes difficult draw or guess for the casual user.
The app makes you choose a Star Wars droid as your team helper, and it would randomly appear while you are drawing to give you extra time to your countdown or at time make it more difficult to draw to the opposing team. The kids really enjoyed this feature.
For example one droid would put a smoke screen, so there would be a curtain of smoke slowly rising in the screen and you can’t see what your drawing.
All in all, neat concept, but the lagging input from the pen to the screen while drawing was an aggravating pain point that was highlighted by all persons drawing. And if you have children drawing, they can get a bit impatient if the image freezes or lags.
Again it could be just my phone/tv hardware and app combination, but it took the seamless experience of drawing with a marker on paper to getting frustrated at times trying to draw in the air and looking at the screen and not see what you just drew.
We’ll continue to use the Star Wars cue cards but stick to the marker and paper for the next Pictionary game night.
