Users find humor in the game's interactive elements, particularly enjoying the idea of imitating animal sounds during gameplay. However, they note a lack of inherently funny questions, suggesting that the humor could be enhanced with more comedic content.
“I found it really funny to imitate the sounds to the other person over a voice call, which made me think maybe a few variations on the guessing game where one person has to do the call of the animal listed would be fun, just an idea!”
