Phrasium
The Origin of Phrases Game – A clever game about language, history and the origin of everyday phrases.
Ever wonder why we pay through the nose, face the music or get fooled by fake news? The English language is packed with fascinating phrases, and Phrasium brings you nearly 300 of these to puzzle over and test your knowledge.
Whether you’re working out their true origins or being driven around the bend this game is full of surprises, cock and bull stories, and plenty of a-ha moments. Plus, with 5 Bonus Game modes, you’ll be entertained for hours.
Each phrase in Phrasium has three possible origins, and with three different Challenge Cards to spice things up, the fun never stops. Will you be able to separate the wheat from the chaff or will you end up as sick as a parrot?
