About

The game hangman is a child's game where a word is chosen at random and the user guesses what this word is letter by letter or by guessing what the word is. For each incorrect letter or guess, a stick figure drawing representing a hanged man is drawn out, shape by shape (or by body part, it's mostly subjective). If the user solves the word either by guessing the correct letter or by guessing the correct word before the hangman drawing is complete, they win. The word randomly chosen will vary by length but are usually limited to nouns and verbs.

Hanged Men takes this child's game and puts a Saw-like spin on it.
