## What is Paario?

Paario turns your own photos into a private photo matching game for family and friends.

Create decks from your pictures, find the matching photos and play solo or together. Before selecting photos, choose the deck name and fixed size: one photo makes exactly one pair. Paario starts locally: your decks and photos stay on your device, are stored encrypted and can be deleted from settings at any time.

Why Paario?
- Your own photo decks instead of generic pictures
- Local play without sign-in
- Set up each game: players, names and board size
- Multiple decks and board sizes
- Join private online rooms by code or link; create your own rooms with Paario Complete
- Paario Complete: add friends privately by code or QR, with no public search
- Report, block and host remove tools for online rooms
- Four languages: English, German, French and Spanish
- No ads, no subscription, no public gallery

Free to play:
- Up to 2 local decks with 6 or 10 personal photos/pairs
- Encrypted local storage
- Delete local data in settings

Paario Complete:
- Unlimited local decks
- Deck sizes with 15, 24, 36 or 48 personal photos/pairs
- Create your own private online rooms with friends
- Friends list by code or QR
- Additional themes

Paario is made for private rounds: only use photos and content you are allowed to use. Unlawful, offensive, harmful-to-minors or rights-infringing content is not allowed. The friends list and online rooms are private — you add friends only by friend code or QR, rooms are accessible only by code or link and expire after a limited time.
