Just a Phrase by POWGI Releases on Xbox

 

 

21st December in the yeaer of our Lord 2021 -- Staffordshire, UK – Lightwood Games is thrilled to announce the release of their latest word puzzle game, Just a Phrase by POWGI for Xbox. It will be available to download tomorrow, Wednesday 22nd December.

Just a Phrase is a deduction game based on the classic pen-and-paper game, hangman, but this variation has a twist inspired by the pun-oriented wordplay that is typically found in the POWGI series of games.

One word in each phrase has been changed to a homophone - a word that sounds the same, but is spelled differently. For example, when the phrase “right on the money” becomes “write on the money”, it takes on a totally new meaning.

While the phrase will still sound familiar when read aloud, this simple change makes it much more challenging to deduce when choosing only one letter at a time. The puzzles usually produce a moment of revelation, when you solve a phrase by revealing both something familiar, and something unexpected!

Phrases range from the surreal (like ”making both ends meat”) to those that invite you to imagine the setup for the punchline to a terrible dad joke (like “holy owned subsidiary”).

Just a Phrase was previously released on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation. The Xbox edition includes an extra 30 new and exclusive puzzles.

It is priced at $7.99 / GBP £6.69 / €7.99 and rated ESRB E / PEGI 3, and is compatible with Xbox One and Series X|S.

Lightwood Games is an independent game developer, owned and operated by husband-and-wife team, Katherine and Chris Newman. They are delighted to be bringing their portfolio of puzzle games to Xbox, and more games will follow in the coming months. New titles are being released on Xbox from the outset.
