Writing a word makes it real in Scribblenauts Unlimited, a puzzle-adventure in which the player types the name of an object and it appears. As Maxwell, the player explores free-roaming, connected areas and helps the residents with their problems, choosing whichever item, creature or tool seems suited to the situation. Because the solutions are open-ended, many puzzles accept several answers.
An object creator lets players design their own items, assign properties to them and share them through Steam Workshop. The story digs into Maxwell's family, including his siblings and how he came to own his magical notepad. Single-player and open-ended, it suits creative players who enjoy experimenting.
