Word Quest is a word search game for the iPhone/iPod Touch. The goal of the game is to find the list of words presented at the top of the screen. The screen contains a grid of letters and users have to find the word among the letters. Each time the user finds a word the word scores them points.
The word list changes each time the game is played, but it is the same game over and over. If you do not like word search puzzles, this game is not for you. On the other hand if you love word search puzzles, this game is definitely for you. Instead of carrying around a book of word searches, you can have an application on your iPhone that allows you to play word searches.
One of the features that keeps you wanting to play is the time factor. There is a superficial clock that runs while you are searching for words. The goal is to try and find all of the words before two minutes. If players are able to find all of the words before the two minutes, they will score bonus points. If they can’t find all of the words before two minutes, they just don’t get the bonus points, but the game continues. It is fun to try and see if you can beat your best score. Some puzzles are faster to solve than others for whatever reason and the challenge to beat my best time kept me playing a few more games.

Each letter has a point value associated with the letter. Each time the letter is placed in the correct position in the word the player gets the points on the letter. Building the words quickly, will result in more points because a bigger multiplier is used. The points build up the meter and players have to get the meter to the blue triangle to progress to the next level in the game. If the blue triangle is not achieved, the game is over and players must start over.
