Chalkboard Arcade app for iPhone and iPad

Hello humans, and welcome!

Chalkboard Arcade is a fast-paced, exciting word game. Yes, that’s right, we’ve built a word game that feels like an arcade game, and is actually fun to play. They said it couldn’t be done, but we didn’t care! They said that we were crazy… and honestly, it hurt our feelings a little bit, but we got over it! The game is easy to play, but challenging to win. That’s okay, you’re up to the challenge – we believe in you!

This is a truly free-to-play game. You never need to spend money to play or win - our in-app purchases will let you tweak the game play to fit your playing style, but are not necessary to make good scores.

Game play is deceptively simple – just collect the characters as they bounce around the screen, then form words of three to 10 letters from the characters that you’ve collected. We provide a way to slow down the action with stopwatches that stop time, and we make things a bit more exciting with bombs!

The trick to earning a high score is to take the time to learn the patterns for the level, then figure out the best way to split your time between collecting bouncers and building words. It’s not always easy, and you’ll need a little luck to get the highest scores, but that’s why they call it a “game”.

Your score on the level equates to a grade, ranging from “F” (which is not great, just so you know) to “A+”. Chalkboard Arcade is a challenging game, and we consider a “B” to be a good score. A “C” is pretty much average, and you have to have a very good round – and also get lucky with the characters that get spawned – to get an “A”. If you get an “A+”, you also get a gold star. Awesome!

Once youve earned your awesome grade, be sure to brag to your friends about it with our in-app social media tool.

Future versions of the game will feature leader boards, and even more exciting levels!
