Pat Sajak and Vanna White have moved their game show stage into mobile devices, creating a unique and personal experience for all fans of the long-running ABC series.
Created by Scopely, in partnership with Sony Pictures TV, Wheel of Fortune Free Play features iconic puzzles and gameplay that viewers know, and new game modes and challenges specifically designed for entertaining and quick bite mobile experiences.
Much like being a contestant on the word-solving show, there are several different rounds to test the skills of even the most savvy "Wheel of Fortune" players. Head-to-head battles with friends and family allow players to create personalized games, including the ability to form custom puzzles for them to solve.
The game also features a World Tour mode, which takes players on a travel destination of sorts to collect various iconic items from across the globe.
While this version doesn’t offer the coveted cash prizes of the TV series, daily and weekly tournaments will allow players to collect exclusive in-game prizes.
“Wheel of Fortune has touched so many lives for decades, and it is an honor to bring the universally treasured TV show to millions of fans and new players today,” said Walter Driver, CEO of Scopely. “We are committed to providing fans with captivating gameplay experiences that players can continue to enjoy for years to come.”
Wheel of Fortune Free Play available now for iOS and Android.
