Vision

WORDS is a puzzle game for social media platforms Vkontakte and Odnoklassniki. The playable character is an Elk, who lost his memory after a blow, and is now restoring the chain of events that had taken place over the previous few days.

The player's task is to help restore the character's memory by entering a word from the picture into the appropriate field. The image is shown in fragments on the game screen, the faster the player guesses the word, the more coins he gets.

The words cover different categories:
• art;
• birds;
• fruits
• actors;
• berries;
• animals;
• cartoons;
• architecture;
• capital cities;
• popular singers;
• cartoon characters.

There are 25 words in each category. For the sake of greater thrill, the most difficult word is the last one on the list of questions. The reward for the last word is higher.
