Hanging With Friends
Hanging With Friends is a multi-player word game developed by Zynga With Friends (formerly Newtoy, Inc.), which also developed Words With Friends. Players take turns guessing words, similar to Hangman, with either friends or random opponents. Released in June 2011 and published by Zynga,[1] the game is available for cross-platform play on iPhone and Android.[2]
Players who challenge opponents must create a word up to eight letters long, using the letters provided to them. The challenge is then sent to a player who must guess the word with a limited amount of guesses. The exchange of challenges and guesses continues until one player uses all of their balloons and their avatar falls into a pit of lava or other various deathtraps. Players have lifelines at their disposal that restore guesses or reveal letters that may be part of the word they are trying to guess. The game is a freemium game, meaning there is no cost to play, but players have the option of purchasing premium content.[3]
