Bilbao, Bizkaia. One of the most successful multiuser games, was made available in Basque last August, and has hooked a number of Basque speakers. The version in Basque was promoted by Maite Goñi professor at Mondragon University, who contacted the company that created the game, Etermax. IXA taldea, and the University of the Basque Country, as well as the Vice-Minister of Linguistic Policy also participated in the process.
According to its creator, Maximo Cavazzani, in an interview with Deia, the group of Basque players increases every day, and currently there have been 25,000 games played in Basque.
It is very easy to play Apalabrados/Angry Words. The app can be downloaded from here, or by phone on Google Play (Android) or through the AppStore (iPhone). In the language section all you have to do is choose the Ikurriña, register and start looking for competitors to play against. The game allows friends or strangers to play starting from a central word and creating words from it, much like Scrabble.
