That's You
What's It About?
THAT'S YOU is a new, irreverent quiz game. This digital download challenges you and up to five friends to answer questions about each other, draw pictures, snap silly selfies, and more. The better you know who you're playing with, the more points you'll likely rack up. Questions you might answer include "Which of your family members would survive longest in the wild?" or "Who among you is the worst chef?" You'll use your finger to draw pictures, vote on doodles, share on social medial (if desired), and try to earn the most points to win the game. The themes range greatly -- from movie trivia and childhood memories to crime and camping -- and are spread out across 10 different themed locations.
Is It Any Good?
If you can look past the repetitive questions and the setup challenges of phones not finding the game console, this is an extremely fun social game for teens and adults. Just as with the snarky host of the You Don't Know Jack pop culture trivia series, the That's You narrator is funny, and the questions, photos, and selfies are even funnier. Even those who don't play games often will likely enjoy the humor, variety, and accessibility of That's You. As the name suggests, That's You is all about you -- from the first time you take your selfie and see it on the screen to the personalized answers and faces on your mobile device. Heck, you can even add your own questions.
A great activity is Picture Game, where one player gets singled out and the others pick from a group of pictures depicting actions based on what the singled-out player would do in a given situation. There are some mini-games, too, sprinkled throughout the game sessions, which last about an hour apiece. Even better, That's You is a free game with a PlayStation Plus subscription, and after October 24, it will be $19.99, which is well worth the price.
