Boggle Bash is officially in the testing phase now. According to our sources, the game is nearly complete so the June release is still feasible.
The gameplay is team-based. The “teams” are randomly selected out of players in the room which will probably hold 20 people so there will be four teams of five each. In each game, there are three three-minute rounds. In order to earn a jackpot spin, your team must meet the goal at least two of the three rounds.
BadgeHunter tells us, “When I was playing there were 15 in room with 3 teams of 5, but gap open for a 4th team. There is a ‘team goal’ such as ’spell 200 words as a team’ or ‘Spell 50 5 letter words’. If you reach the goal it’s considered a win. The words don’t have to be unique to count. The scores fly by so fast after the game that I can’t tell if theres a bonus for beating other teams in any way.”
In order to prevent collusion, chat is off during the individual rounds, but you can chat with your roomies between rounds. After each round, the game displays the unique words of each player on your team and a small version of that round’s Boggle board. If you run your mouse over any of the words you or your teammates spelled, they will highlight on the mini-board. Very nice!
