85/100

Shout About is a refreshing breath of fresh air in the mobile party game space, primarily because it leverages modern technology to solve the oldest problem in trivia: the 'typing' barrier. By utilizing voice recognition and local network play, it transforms the smartphone from a personal distraction into a shared digital fireplace that everyone can gather around. The gameplay loop is brilliantly simple—the AI doodles an image, and players compete to be the first to shout the answer. It’s chaotic, loud, and genuinely hilarious when the recognition picks up a frantic mispronunciation or a near-miss.

What sets this apart from typical 'Heads Up' clones is the sheer scalability. The local network play theoretically supports up to 100 players, making it a viable option for large weddings or corporate icebreakers rather than just a living room activity. The inclusion of SharePlay for FaceTime calls also means that distance is no longer an issue for family game night. While the AI drawings can sometimes be abstract to the point of frustration, that usually only adds to the competitive energy of the room. It’s a must-have for anyone who frequently hosts social gatherings.
