Word Peril
Tired of Hangman? Bored with the Wheel? Word Peril is the answer.
Word Peril combines elements of multiple game genres and packs them into one addictive, fast-paced, and fun game. Unlike many Hangman games, Word Peril offers a more strategic challenge and has scoring continuity from puzzle to puzzle.
Guess the puzzle (without going bankrupt) by using visual and textual cues from within the game. You begin with $2000 virtual dollars. You are rewarded $100 for each correct guess and you lose $400 for each incorrect guess. Successfully completing the puzzle nets you $200.
Use your Free Letter and Skip Puzzle tokens sparingly, as they are only refreshed upon reaching the next level.
Personal High Scores and Global High Scores (participation optional) are available so you can compete against yourself as well as the world!
Word Peril features over 6,000 puzzles including these categories:
Business
Film & TV
Food
Geography
History & Politics
Literature
Music & the Arts
Nature
Science & Technology
Sports
Potpourri
The puzzle list touches on almost every topic imaginable, from science terms to ancient poetry, and from social networking to sports team owners. No bland puzzles here, just the most important figures and events from pop culture, music, and history.
With appealing visuals and a sleek feel, Word Peril gives Hangman a little class. So lose the stick figures and try Word Peril today.
