Have a friend who thinks they are smarter than everyone else? Challenge them with The Moron Test. They are guaranteed to fail. This is one of the most frustrating, fun, intelligent, and cunning apps to ever hit the app store. It will make you question your own intelligence. Moron uses a series of tests to determine if you are a moron or a genius. The Moron Test includes five sections/tests to choose from, and is growing with each update.

Each test has many tasks. They start out simple. For instance, players must touch the biggest duck. As progress is made, the tasks become increasingly harder, or should I say trickier. Most tasks seem complex, until completed. This app does its’ best to be witty. For example, Moron will ask players to touch an orange button 10 times. To confuse players, the creators put other color buttons around the orange one and change all the colors half way through the task. Once the task is complete, it will leave them on the same page for an extra 10 seconds in hopes they press the button again. This is why I fail a lot. These test are tricky will test one’s patience.

To make losing easier, the developers involve cute hilarious cartoon animals and objects in each task. One of my favorite comedic moments is when one must tap rubber ducks according to eye size.

Tips for winning:

• Read the tasks thoroughly.
• Always be on your toes (or fingers in this case), you never know when a giraffe, turtle, or some other adorable animal will appear.
• If a task does not make sense, examine the screen. Things may be hidden in corners.
• Expect to fail.

Checkpoints allow players to start further into the game, rather than restarting when making a mistake. Checkpoints only allow for a limited amount of restarts before players start from the beginning. The game does become too difficult when they have quick tasks. The game will say quick and list the task, but give players only a few seconds to complete. There needs to be more time to react. Some of the tasks are not clear and take a few times to attempt. Unfortunately, this causes players to fail and restart the test. The questions appear in the same order every try. Mixing the questions up would make replaying the game more interesting. Updates do help keep the game fresh by adding new sections.

Overall the game is entertaining. The downside is that there is not much replay ability and some tasks are too difficult. The upside is that The Moron Test is great for kicks and giggles with your closest friends. You will see friends become angry after failing 30 times and fall on the floor laughing. See who can get the furthest in the test before failing or who can completes it the fastest. Keep playing so you can outsmart your friends. This app is completely ridiculous but bundles of fun. Once you complete this game you will no longer be a moron, but a genius!
