Backwords

Backwords is a fun and entertaining game of guessing words in reverse. Choose a word and send the recording to your friend. Your friend will hear your word played backwards and then mimic exactly what they hear.

The biggest challenge in designing BackWords was definitely the process of guessing an opponent's world, which on paper sounded daunting, and definitely provided quite the challenge. After settling on a color scheme that involved a variety of colors, it became clear that color and symbol drive clues helped guide players through the process, resulting in fast gameplay and quick turnaround for opponents.
