About Trends

Trends is the one and only game powered by the Internet! (based on the Funhaus show)

Local
Players pair one word with a given term. Those word pairs are submitted to a search engine to score each search term. Players gain the number of points that the search engine assigned to each search term. This can be done for as many rounds as the players want.

Online Multiplayer
Players join a lobby and can each play from their own device.

Presentation Mode
Two teams play the game. However, this mode is operated by one person and displayed on two separate locations. This format enables a game-show-style presentation.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players describe Trends as a bare-bones text-based party game that uses Google Trends API to score word associations, criticizing it for minimal gameplay, poor technical implementation, unappealing visuals, and lack of online multiplayer functionality. While some find the concept of a trends-based word game mildly interesting, the overwhelming consensus is that it feels more like an unfinished prototype than a finished product, comparable to PowerPoint presentations rather than proper games.

Trends is barely a game. It's a text only local multiplayer/hotseat browser tier game loosely ripping off Family Feud where you are presented with a word, and you must choose a word that you feel corresponds most closely to the original word. Instead of going to a survey from the studio audience, the game goes to a Google Trends API and returns a score to each player for how much their word combined with the word supplied by the game is trending in Google Searches. The technical implementation here is so deficient it's difficult to argue there is a technical implementation at all.. visuals are just text with an ugly colour scheme. Gameplay is non-existent, unless you consider making API calls against Google Trends a "game". They couldn't even work out how to do online multiplayer, that's how badly this was phoned in. This is obviously a web browser game that's been dumped on Steam by mistake, and serves no real purpose apart from polluting the Steam store. While this is free, so are other browser games, or asking your home assistant air freshener to play a quiz (and that's a better experience than this garbage that probably took half an hour to put together).

Игра "Trends" — это увлекательный симулятор управления модными трендами, где игроки создают и продвигают стильные образы. Графика яркая, интерфейс интуитивный, а геймплей динамичный. Однако механики иногда запутаны, а баланс между творчеством и монетизацией нарушён. Несмотря на это, игра подходит для любителей стратегий и моды, но требует времени на освоение. В целом — средний продукт с потенциалом.

trends is dreadful and should be avoided at all costs. it's a jackbox game but in powerpoint with no sound design and only one minigame which it doesn't even tell you how to play.

Final Fantasy XI price: what you pay, then keep paying

The Final Fantasy XI price is two numbers, and the subscription is the one that matters. Our tracked low, what the Ultimate Collection includes, and when buying at list is correct.

Castlevania Belmont's Curse price: which edition to buy

The Castlevania Belmont's Curse price splits in two: Steam charges full list, authorised resellers a quarter less. Our record says that 25% has not moved since June, and is the floor.

Hogwarts Legacy price history: where the floor really is

Our Hogwarts Legacy price history runs to 100 daily readings and a $3.99 median. Why the sub-dollar figure in search results is noise, and what to actually pay.

Starfield price history: the sub-$20 window, and who set it

Our Starfield price history shows one reseller set the all-time low over five weeks in late summer 2026. What a good price looks like now, and why Game Pass comes first.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy

The Rust price has two answers: an official one that barely moves, and a reseller one that sat in single digits for 95 days and then disappeared. Our record shows both.

Planet Zoo 2 price: which edition, and when it gets cheaper

Planet Zoo 2 is out today. The Planet Zoo 2 price splits two ways, the cheap pre-order keys stopped existing three weeks ago, and the original got dearer as the sequel landed.
