Hanging With Friends Lifelines Half Price

This weekend only, all lifelines are on sale for 10 coins.  The normal price is 20 coins, so this is half off.  In our opinion, Zynga is trying to get people to understand this aspect of the game and use them more.  Most people that we talk to do not use lifelines at all.  Zynga announced this sale on the Hanging With Friends Facebook page.  The sale last until Sunday.  The 50% coin costs is good toward the following lifelines: Suspects, Revive or Extinguish.

Do you use lifelines?  If so, how much are you planning on spending this weekend during the 50% off sale?

Hanging With Friends With Kids

Actually “hanging with friends” is common for kids in America and all over the world. At school, after school, on the weekends, kids like to spend time with their friends. This has led Zynga, the huge online game maker famous for CityVille and Words With Friends, among others, to design a game based on this” Hanging” concept.

The game is based on word building, like the classic hangman word game. It is an extremely fun game, that doesn’t take a lot of knowledge or a huge vocabulary to get started, but once you begin to play, the game is actually a source of learning. It will expand your vocabulary and improve your spelling.

Because the game has a small learning curve and it teaches words, many parents are actually encouraging their children to play this game, rather than spending their time on the smartphone texting or chatting with friends. And, it’s actually working. The game is a huge success, toppping the iTunes charts across the board shortly after its release. You don’t have to live in the US to play the game, but you do have to speak English to play it. It’s also available in other countries where English is widely spoken, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand and even in parts of Asia.

Not only are younger children playing Hanging With Friends, but statistics also show that it is becoming quite popular on college campuses, as well. For now, the game can only be played on iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch), but be on the look-out for the port to Android, which is surely in development.

Hanging With Friends Review

After installing Hanging With Friends and setting up your account, there are three easy steps to get you going.

1. Create a game. You can start by playing against a friend using the Facebook integration, you can play against a random opponent, find a friend by their username or play against someone using Pass and Play mode.

2. Build a Word for you opponent to solve. Using the letters provided, just drag them to the tray above. Your word has to be at least four letters, and can’t be longer than eight. It also cannot be a proper name. Once you have a word, just tap Play to send your move.

3. Once your opponent has tried to solve your word, they will send one your way. When it’s ready, you will get the last vowel in the word for free. This will help you get started. Simply tap letters to see if they are part of the secret word. If they aren’t, you’ll get a strike. Your turn is over when you solve the word or run out of strikes. Next, you go back to step 2 and build another word.

Zynga Working To Fix Hanging With Friends Problems

There are known issues with the two latest versions of Hanging With Friends.  These are version 4.03 and version 4.04.  In a tweet from the official Hanging With Friends development group, they are suggesting that users actually hold off on updating the app until they have a fix out for it.  Lucky for me, I never updated to 4.03, so I am still able to play games with no issues.  Others here can’t even get 4.04 to launch.  It crashes on every start.
