## What is Hat Up?

Hey There! If you like Heads Up or Alias ​​(just like us) but want to try something new, Hat Up is what you need! Just download it;) We created this App to play with our friends and family, where we combined all we love so much and added features we were seeking. Please try it and share your opinion!

Gather your friends or family, download the app and get playing! Promise, it will be fun!
For a limited time, you need to explain to your team or guess as many words and phrases as possible. 
You have three rounds for this: in the first - explain with words, in the second - with gestures, in the third - with one association word. But if you want to play only 1 round just end the game when the words in hat are over. The team with the most points wins.

What will you get when you download the Hat Up	:

 • 5000 words and phrases;
 • 15 categories;
 • 3 difficulty levels;
 • Add your own words and categories;
 • Funny teams and nicknames;
 • Leaderboard;
 • Players statistics;
 • No ads;
 • 2 trial games.

How to play?

For the whole company you need only 1 phone with this application. Players pass it during the game, the Hat will tell you whose move it is.

Before the game:
1. Gather your friends and download the app;
2. Form teams;
3. Choose difficulty level, category and number of words in the game. The more words in the Hat, the longer the game;
4. Choose a hat for each team;
5. The Hat will suggest nicknames for players. Pick one and remember your nickname, or come up with other names.

Attention:
 • The words in the Hat are the same in each round;
 • If you skip a word, it will appear later, until it is guessed;
 • The round is over when ALL words are guessed.

The game:
1. The hat selects the player who will explain the words to his team.
2. In the first round, explain the word without naming it. In the second, explain by miming - with facial expressions and gestures but without making a sound. In the third - with just one association word.
3. If you accidentally “guessed” or “skipped” a word, don’t worry when the time runs out, you can fix it.
4. See the intermediate result after each tour.
5. When you finish playing, see the leaderboard of teams, as well as the rating of players.

Your words and categories:
 • Add your words to existing categories;
 • Create your own categories.
Note: the game must have a minimum of 20 words.

We would love to know you opinion and if you:
- have some ideas how to improve our app
- want to share a cool word pack you created with the whole world
- dream of a feature to add

Please write a comment or an email:)

Ну зачееем??
Пришлось удалить

### 5/5 — А будет ли еще обновление?

*2024-10-23*

Хотелось бы новых слов в игре😁

### 5/5 — Классная игра

*2024-03-31*

Очень нравится, действительно не жалко заплатить. Я оплачивала с мобильного телефона, все получилось. 
Играем постоянно. Был вопрос про лучшего игрока, но уже нашла ответ в других отзывах

### 5/5 — Словари

*2023-12-28*

Очень нравится приложение. Единственное, что есть недостаток - при создании своего словаря, после определенного количества слов или если слова добавляются за несколько раз, то слова перестают добавляться. Так же если слово добавил, затем удалил, то вновь его добавить уже не получится - пишет, что слово уже есть. Исправьте, пожалуйста, добавление слов.

### 5/5 — Лучшая шляпа в эпл стоп.

*2023-09-28*

Почините, пожалуйста, мелкий баг: при объяснении слов если свернуть приложение (случайно, либо позвонят и прочее) и развернуть обратно - время идет в 2 раза быстрее.

### 5/5 — Лучшая!

*2023-07-11*

Ооочень крутая игра! Классное оформление, хорошие слова, все продумано. Но как купить полную версию??? 🙏🏻
