What is Hangillion?

The game

Hangillion is hangman with the volume turned up. A word is hidden behind blank spaces, you are told the category, and you guess one letter at a time. Six wrong letters and the man is gone. The twist is how: a megalodon, a trapdoor, a lit fuse, a firing squad, a zombie horde and more, each a small animated scene with its own sounds.

Ways to play

• The daily word: one word a day, the same for everyone, with a result you can share. No account needed.
• Free play: choose a topic and how hard the word is. A free Google account gets one word per topic every day. Hangillion Max or Icillion Unlimited removes the limit and opens “Anything”.
• Rooms with friends: two to eight players. One of you picks a word from three, everyone else guesses it at the same time with their own six lives and their own ending. Always free. How rooms work.
