Backwords: Say It, Flip It

Backwords is a pass-and-play party game for one iPhone. Record a two or three word phrase and the app plays it backwards. The next player mimics what they hear, flips their mimic around, and guesses the original out loud — while the clock eats their score. Then you swap. HOW TO PLAY ◇ SAY IT — Hold the pad and say a short phrase: your own, or one from a phrase pack. Release to stop. Re-record until it sounds right, then hand the phone over. ◇ FLIP IT — Backwords plays your phrase backwards. The guesser listens as many times as they need, loops the tricky bit, and records their best mimic of the noise they just heard. ◇ GUESS IT — Their mimic gets flipped back around. If it sounds like your phrase, they shout their guess and you judge it. Right locks in the score. Wrong costs points and the clock keeps running. JUST PLAY The toy at the heart of the game. Hold to record, let go, and hear yourself backwards. No players, no rounds, no score — just you and whatever you feel like saying. Always free, always unlimited. TIMED GAMES, TWO TO EIGHT PLAYERS Add players, pick how many rounds, and pass the phone. Everyone authors once and guesses once per round. Scores add up across the game and the scoreboard settles it at the end. THE CLOCK DECIDES Every guess starts at 1000 points and drains while the guesser listens, mimics, and works up the nerve. Wrong guesses cost extra. Haptics tick faster as the number falls, so you feel the pressure in your hand. PHRASE PACKS Stuck for something to say? The General pack has 200 phrases picked to sound great backwards. Ten themed packs — Movies & TV, Music, Sports, Superheroes, Decades, National Parks, Theme Parks, Automobiles, Instruments, and Around the World — come with the full version, and your first free game can use every one of them. LEADERBOARD, HISTORY & FAVORITES All-time standings across every game: wins, points, accuracy, and the fastest guesses on record. Replay any half-round from history, and heart the clips that were too good to lose. SHARE THE CHAOS Turn any clip into a shareable graphic — the reversed waveform, the player, the score, and the Backwords mark — and send it straight from the share sheet. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE No accounts, no server, no analytics. Recordings, player names, and scores live on your device and nowhere else. It works in the woods just as well as it does at home. PAY ONCE, OWN IT Just Play is free forever, and so is your first full multiplayer game. One purchase unlocks unlimited games, your whole history, and every phrase pack, including the ones added later. No subscription, no ads.
