## What is Empire?

Empire is the classic secret-name party game, and this app is its host, so everyone gets to play.

PASS THE PHONE
Each player takes a turn and types a secret name: anyone famous, real or made up, or whatever theme you pick. The phone checks for duplicates, so no two people pick the same name. Then it hands off to the next player.

TAP AND IT READS
Once everyone's in, tap and the phone reads each name aloud, in a new shuffle for every reading. Turn up the volume and play along. Prefer a human voice? Show the list and let someone read it out.

THEN THE FUN STARTS
Take turns asking, "Are you Gandalf?" Guess right and they join your empire. The last empire standing wins.

MAKE IT YOURS
- Read names once, twice or three times
- Add decoy names for small groups
- Set a theme: cartoon characters, people in the room, anything
- Slower voice, or hide names while they're read
- Reveal every name at the end to settle arguments

FREE AND PRIVATE
No ads, no accounts, no purchases. Names never leave the phone, and they're forgotten when the game ends.
