Plot

In the Scribblenauts series (with the exception of Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure, which operated based on slightly different rules) the player takes on the role of Maxwell – a boy who lives in a fantasy world and owns a magical notebook allowing him to create items he needs (the boy writes in the names of different things). This incredible treasure makes the protagonist capable of resolving issues causing distress among a lot of the land's inhabitants.

Mechanics

Scribblenauts Showdown for SWITCH, PS4 and XONE is a logic-adventure game. The player explores vast, two-dimensional levels and solves puzzles scattered around the game world.

Freedom of approach is characteristic of Scribblenauts Showdown, as a given obstacle can be usually dealt with in a lot of different ways – the player does not have to search for the one specific solution the creators had in their minds. Everything depends on the player's imagination and creativity.

The game offers an extensive single-player campaign, as well as a variety of online and community functions, allowing the player mainly to have fun with others and to create their own levels, which can be shared with other players.
