Three dimensional Hangman...genius – we wish we’d thought of this brilliant idea. If you aren’t familiar with the rules firstly, where on earth have you been, and secondly, the rules are simple so you’ll soon get the err hang of it! Traditional hangman seems boring in comparison – pencil, paper, drawing the scaffold etc – because there is something morbidly satisfying about getting excited when your opponent guesses an incorrect letter and you get one step closer to literally hanging the man – the kind of satisfaction you just can’t get with the traditional version. To the creators of this game – we salute you. To get a piece of this 3D action visit
