Picolo · Party game Reviews

by Oneplusoneistwo

In a section titled “virus”, the first turn prompts the player to speak in a Chinese accent. Later on in this section, the player is told they have bad manners, while they’re still supposed to be “speaking in a Chinese accent.” A few turns later, the player is asked to stop using a Chinese accent. Immediately after, the next card points out that your manners have improved.

It is shameful to see this language used and behaviour encouraged, especially considering the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes across the U.S. Do better.

I was unaware that PicoloPartygame charged at all- and I understand it’s my obligation to read all print, but I was not given any notification that I was being charged. I was not prompted to confirm a payment or anything of the sort at any time. I only found out by checking my bank account. I used to recommend this game to friends at get togethers, but after this I will never recommend PicoloPartygame or any others by this developer again. I’m currently trying to figure out how to cancel any subscription I was apparently agreed to (I don’t even know if I was signed up for a weekly, monthly etc. subscription or just a one time charge) but I’m struggling to even find anywhere on PicoloPartygame to do such a thing. As soon as I figure that out it’s getting deleted for good. I have paid for apps before- I have no problem with paying for a quality app; but I will not support being unknowingly charged.

I downloaded this game once to play with friends for free. It was pretty fun. Unbeknownst to me, it started charging me $4.79 WEEKLY. I didn’t notice until a couple months later. By that time, I could only submit a refund request for half the payments because the others were more than 60 days ago. Moral of the story: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. I ended up paying more than $80 for something I played once for one hour.... PicoloPartygame is incredibly deceptive and it WILL charge you without permission. It’s extremely difficult to cancel and get a refund. I’ve been chatting with Apple customer support for hours. TRUST ME, IT’S NOT WORTH IT.

My daughter did not sign up for a subscription and has been charged $4.80 a week for the past YEAR!!!!!! I had contacted Apple on a couple of occasions because I was unsure what the fees were- and nothing showed under my subscriptions. Unfortunately, it was under my daughters account and I couldn’t see it. I can not find the company online anywhere! I’m appalled! PicoloPartygame was downloaded once for fun and maybe used one or two more times, but OVER $200 in charges!!!!!!!!!! BE VERY CAREFUL IF YOU DOWNLOAD THIS! It was fun for a minute, but they snuck in such small charges that I barely noticed! So frustrating!!!!

Played this with friends and was such a fun game that I had to buy it. Like most apps it gives you a free trial and I saw in the fine print a fee of $4.99 afterwards which I was happy to pay. Heck I would have paid more.

What I didn’t realize was it subscribes you to a WEEKLY fee of $4.99. I work in digital marketing and this is the lowest form of a bait and switch. You need to fire your marketing team and care more for your clients or this will be a great idea with a poor reputation.

Perception is reality in marketing and you have a lot of work to do on yours.

I’ve had this game for going on 2 years now and I loved playing it, such an easy ice breaker for new groups of friends. However I’m so disappointed that they developers not only decided to not make it free anymore, but instead of charging a flat one time purchase, are making you subscribe to $5 PER WEEK. I’m sorry for a drinking game that you most likely won’t even play once a week, this is ridiculous. If they ever change back or have a one time purchase price, then maybe I would be back on board. But sadly I won’t be playing this game anymore :(

The game is a fun and easy drinking game, but I downloaded it when it was still free and barely played it. I noticed I was being charged $5/week for a subscription to access the same content for free without having ever given consent or notice that they were switching to a subscription service. I canceled because there is no way I’m about to pay $5/week for a drinking game I barely use. What an exorbitant amount of money. That’s $260 a year for an APP.

There is no way to contact the developers to complain, and I will be attempting to request a refund through Apple, although I doubt I’ll be successful.

I’ve really enjoyed this game but I’ve been noticing how awful some of the questions/prompts that pop up are. Like the one that says “would you rather have cork for arms or adopt a blind person?” As if having a blind person in your life or in your care is some terrible hypothetical that people wouldn’t want. Or the prompt to list out who has hooked up with “the most disgusting women”. These prompts & questions made me and my friends incredibly uncomfortable and as a result I will be deleting PicoloPartygame.

I used to love to play Picolo with my friends. It was a go-to for years. The premium version of the game was $5 or $10 to buy, I forget exactly how much, but once you bought it you didn’t have to pay a subscription. They changed this and are now charging $5 A WEEK for the game. The worst thing about it is I didn’t realize until now and have been charged $20 for the past couple of weeks. The free version will have to do, $5 a week for a game that I can’t even play with my friends now due to COVID is absurd.

I didn’t read the rules of the game and Instead just proceeded to drink myself into oblivion. In hind sight, I probably was drinking so much because I am sad. The game probably would be fun, but unfortunately I don’t have friends to play it with. Sometimes I try to play games like this and play multiple roles myself In place of real friends, and occasionally it’s fun... until I come to the realization that only a loser would do that... I’m a loser. A lonely, lamenting loser... but the game does seem cool... 3/5 stars molly

Awesome app that is amplified by the ability to screen share it to a big screen. My old roommate had a Apple TV which made it great to play in large groups. I have a Google Chromecast but it doesn’t have the casting ability yet. Unfortunately as everyone gets drunk, the game fizzles out quickly without everyone being able to read the screen. If it became Chromecast compatible, that would make it very convenient!

by Kid In The Dark

I've always enjoyed playing this game and have been meaning to buy a few of the other versions but I don't feel that's a viable option anymore since it's been changed to more of a subscription for them. The fact that I would need to pay a large sum weekly, monthly, or yearly just to play the other versions is keeping me from venturing from the classic.

by Fun To Mess With

I love PicoloPartygame. Everything about this is great. I’ve played hours upon hours of it, and still get new cards. One gripe I have is an “undo” button. Sometimes my drunk friends or myself accidentally tap the screen before we read or understand what is being said. Therefore we cannot go back and see how many drinks need to be had or what needs to be done. The ability to go back atleast one card would make this a perfect 5 star for me. If I could give this a 4.75 I would, but a 4 is all I can give below perfect.

Hello picallo fellows or however you prefer to spell your product. I enjoy greatly this game and it is real good to play with your fellow comrades. I would LOVE TO BE an representative for your app please lmk your inquiries. We had a great time learning weird things about each other. I hope you have a good day or night,wherever you are in the world, but I’m not trying to tell you no matter what you can do you can do whatever you want okay bye. Lmk about the reps lol he you xxxx

by Muffindahl

The free version is completely fine. I’ll never put money into this again because for some reason the subscription renews every 7 days. If it was a month, I’d be fine. But $5 every week? I’m not a cheapskate but wow haha such a sneaky tactic to make money

by Cashworth09

Everyone I show this game to loves! I love it! My boyfriend and I will also just play between us, and we ALWAYS learn something new about us. It’s also a great ice breaker. If we don’t like a question, we just move onto the next. It’s not very hard. Lol I read a LOT of reviews talking about the pricing. If you actually read the print, they explicitly say what they do. It just seems no one checks their charges often… That’s your issue. It also seems no one knows how to cancel a subscription too. Google can be your best friend compared to trying to contact them to cancel. Great social game! 5 star!

by Mojo Jojo Is The Best

PicoloPartygame is amazing, I use it all the time when I pregame with friends! The only suggestion I have is to allow an option to keep user- created rules in the rotating rules list to appear in future rounds. At least make it a feature to those that bought every version! Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing new game modes soon!

by Trllianjoll

Hi my names joll i like this game but im gonna be honest this game is a little innapropriate if youre playing with kittens. My kittens didnt love the part about animal relationships. I think that we should consider the feelings of animals in this game, otherwise we might offend someone. Just a suggestion.

Hi my name derkm i like dis game but im a little concerned. There is not enough bluetooth power for my microphone. I was wearing my sunglasses and i noticed it was bright.

Hi im bumblebee. I dont to use a phone but im interested sometime. If anyone would like to try to cellphone please call me

by Mrbaldas

When I first purchased PicoloPartygame I thought it was a one time purchase.... I am finding out months later that it was a weekly purchase? I have been charged about $64 since I’ve had PicoloPartygame and just found out. It took me forever to figure out how to cancel my subscription since you conveniently leave that part out on PicoloPartygame . I would like a refund. I haven’t used PicoloPartygame since the day I purchased it. NOT WORTH $64 I WAS SECRETLY CHARGED. Do not download PicoloPartygame. It is also racist. Picolo, please fix this. I’m telling all my friends who have PicoloPartygame to immediately delete.

Picolo is great at any point in the night - whether you’re just cracking open your first beer or if you’re already feeling the buzz. HOWEVER - the best part of the game is the game modes you have to pay for, and while $10 is a bit pricey, it has paid off since I’ve used it soooo many times. I highly recommend paying the $10 since it pays itself off with the laughs you share and the great buzzes you get. ALSO, I got laid because I made a girl laugh so hard in this game that she somehow got attracted to me. Love this game

by VDP4Life

We play Picolo all the time with friends. Recently we went to purchase since we like variety and realized that the only way to unlock other games was to pay $50 annually. This is unfortunate as we were prepared to pay up to $10 for this game which seems reasonable. We thought about doing the free trial but feared forgetting to cancel the membership only to be charged $234 for 52 weeks. Please be reasonable when pricing out your subscriptions, this price point is a bit crazy.

Hello,

I have had the Picolo app downloaded on my phone for a few years and I recently opened it up op to play with some friends. The next 2 weeks I had $4.85 charged on my credit card. When I followed up with Apple I discovered that PicoloPartygame had signed me up for weekly subscriptions even though I chose the “free” option. I had to call Apple and get the charged refunded and then go and unsubscribe for a subscription I had never signed up for. SHADY.

My degenerate friends and I really enjoy this game, made us all much closer in more ways that wouldn’t be appropriate for this review. We do request, that an extreme version of Caliente be added, as well as a Lumberjack version. Use your own creativity to what those mean. Thanks!

by Big Pickle Energy

This was a fantastic game to play while getting to know my coworkers. It ended up leading to one crazy that ended pantless in a Taco Bell. This game will bring you closer to people you barely know and create memories that will live on forever in your police record.

by Orgy + Piccolo = Basson

This was a great way to make friends and memories during my orgy. This was my foreplay and he climax didn’t dissapoint. Quickly after the deed was done we play sum mo. Mo piccolo. I’ve got a fever and the only cure is mo piccolo. I also touched a piccolo but it was more a full blown bassoon. #ooooooouuuuuuuuuu #ienjoyedit. #piccolo #but really tenor saxophone

by Julia MacEachern

Me and my friends played this game all night and I’m not sure if it was the questions or the alcohol but everyone was peeing themselves after playing. 12/10 would recommend this game to anyone. Super easy to use and crazy funny questions. Favorite app!!!

by Ci Ci Bee

My friends and I loved playing this game. It was a great way to get to know some friends a little better. We played this game for hours and it was non-stop laughs. I haven’t had this much fun playing a drinking game in a long time!

by B I L L Y 5 0

Awesome game. I have no friends so I play it alone. All I do is put the names of the friends I wish I had and I drink every time someone has to drink. It's great and I get drunk pretty fast. You should try it. Btw I'm taking applications for friends
