Gameplay is criticized for a lack of visibility, with some users unable to experience it firsthand, while others express frustration over community issues that disrupt mechanics. However, the game features quick rounds lasting 1-2 minutes, allowing for fast-paced interactions where players can end rounds early if they complete their tasks efficiently.
“Quick gameplay, 10 rounds each lasting between 1 or 2 minutes. You have 50 seconds to give your answers and another 50 seconds to validate them. If someone fills all the themes, they can hit the stop button to end the round. If everyone is quick enough to validate or invalidate their answers, you don't even have to wait the full 50 seconds.”
“I can't even give this a rating because I never was able to see any gameplay.”
“The community used to cheat, act corrupt, and ruin the mechanics.”
“Why didn't the developers make a minute-long video explaining the gameplay and include it in the game?”

The music in the game is characterized as pleasant and royalty-free, providing a peppy backdrop that can sometimes feel overwhelming or distracting during gameplay. While it adds a lighthearted atmosphere, players suggest it may not always enhance the experience, especially during more challenging tasks.
“The royalty-free music is quite nice and adds to the overall experience.”
“Prepare to have a few games where your brain just decides to fall out the back of your head; it's like being a rabbit in headlights sometimes, all while the peppy music loops in the background.”
“Don't listen to the music though; finding a food that begins with 'x' is serious business, we all know this.”
