13 Jul 2014 Reviews

Introduction

Are you the one your friends look to when it comes to mixing the perfect cocktail? The Cocktail Challenge app is a really fun quiz-styled game that will test your knowledge of all things cocktail-related. This game can be played on your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone and features hundreds of questions on the culture, history, and cocktail recipes. Not only will you have fun with this app but there’s a good chance you’ll learn a whole bunch too such as how to mix some rather amazing cocktails.

An Interactive Challenge

This is the kind of app that is classified as a game but in reality it can also be educational thanks to all the information found in it. For instance there is a recipe section just brimming with easy-to-understand instructions on how to mix a number of well-known cocktails. This is especially great for those who just know a couple standard drinks and are looking to broaden their knowledge base. There are two different modes of play in the app which are challenge play that simply tests your knowledge and standard play mode where you will be learning while you play. You may want to start with standard play mode and work your way up.

Cocktail Challenge hasn't been updated in quite some time now with the last one being some minor improvements and the promise of more levels to come. The app is free to download and play however to unlock the levels you'll need to make in-app purchases. You can unlock individual levels for $0.99 each or unlock all the levels for $3.99.

Playing the Game

I have to admit that cocktail know-how and knowledge is definitely not my strong point so this game is challenging for me right from the get-go. What isn't challenging is using the app thanks to the user-friendly set-up. It comes as no surprise to me that this one rates extremely high with customers getting 4.5 out of five stars from them. For you extra competitive types you'll love that this app supports Game Center and the Leaderboards.

Some of the game features include being able to unlock hints, new levels, and earn achievements. This helps to challenge you and keep you hooked at the same time. The graphics and gameplay is basic, simple, yet smooth with no confusing menus and features to figure out. You are awarded points for correctly answering a question and when you get one wrong, points are taken away. You are also working against a clock so there is plenty of pressure here.
