In the game’s Showdown mode, up to four players face off and "imagine their way to victory through card-based strategy and creative skill." Wordy mini-games require unleashing the best object or character (from Scribblenauts' huge dictionary of over 30,000 words) to outsmart their opponent. Speedy mini-games reward the player who completes a given challenge first. A board game style map displays each player’s progress and there will be multiple ways to make up ground, giving everyone the chance to win.

Players can design their own Scribblenaut, customise them with unique clothing and accessories, and take them into the three game modes, alone or with friends.

Sandbox mode tasks one or two players with solving objectives in eight new levels by summoning a wide range of objects, earning hidden Starites and achievements in the process, while Versus mode allows two players to go head-to-head in a host of mini-games which will vary in each session. The mini-games can also be tackled in single player.

“Scribblenauts Showdown delivers imaginative fun and the humour that Scribblenauts fans love with new social elements to challenge friends and family,” said Steven Chiang, Executive Vice President, Production, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “Players of all skill levels will enjoy testing their creativity in the fast-paced, head-to-head party style gameplay.”

Scribblenauts Showdown launches 9 March on Xbox One, PS4 and Switch.
