## What is Turnmates?

Five relaxed turn-based games with friends, no time pressure.

Turnmates is for people who love playing together but hate being rushed. Make your move whenever it suits you. Your opponent replies whenever it suits them. No countdown, no stress, just you and your friends.

FIVE GAMES, ONE APP
• Word Game: Place letters on the board and score big on bonus squares. All seven tiles in one turn? 50 bonus points. In English or German, your choice per match.
• Sea Battle: Hide your fleet, then fire shot by shot until one fleet is gone. A hit means you shoot again.
• Six Tries: You both guess the same secret five-letter word. Fewer tries wins.
• Sketch & Guess: One draws, the other guesses, then you swap. You play as a team and collect points together.
• Know Me?: Three questions about you, your partner guesses how you answered. In the end you know how well you really know each other.
HOW IT WORKS
• Challenge friends with a single link, one tap is all it takes
• Get a push the moment it's your turn, straight into the match
• Chat with your opponents, with GIFs and the history of your moves
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widget: who is waiting for you right now?

KEEP GOING, WITHOUT PRESSURE
• Streak flames for your own run and for every pair of friends
• Badges for small and big moments
• Your numbers: personal bests and rates, no leaderboard, no response times
