Fictionary is an incredibly fun turn based multi-player word game to be enjoyed with friends and family. Fictionary is a "Pass and Play" game, that is, it is played with a single iOS device which is passed among all of the players. It is not an online game or a single player game, it requires a minimum of three people to play but the more players, the more fun and challenging. Fictionary is a word game in which players try to guess the definition of an obscure word. Each turn consists of a player (the "picker") selecting a word, announcing it out loud to the rest of the players, who, in turn, have to invent their own definition for it. The picker reads the definitions aloud, and the other players vote for which one they think is correct. Points are awarded for guessing the correct definition, and for having a fake definition exposed by another player. Fictionary includes over 600 carefully selected words along with their definitions, it’s up to you, the player, to craft credible alternative and fun definitions to fool your word smart friends.

Fibster is the ultimate bluffing game for parties, game nights, and hangouts — or even solo. Each round, players are shown a prompt — a celebrity's real tweet, a wild headline, or an obscure word to define. Everyone writes a fake answer, then all the options — including the real one — are shuffled together. Players take turns voting one at a time, so you can watch what everyone picks before making your move. Fool your friends with a convincing bluff, or try to spot the real answer to earn points. Playing solo? The game fills in fake answers for you. How it works: - Create a room and share the 4-letter code, or play solo - Pick your categories: Sports, Pop Culture, Hard Words, Old-Timey Slang, or Foreign Idioms - Write a fake tweet, headline, or definition - Players vote in turn order — each pick is revealed live - Earn points for guessing correctly or fooling others - After the final round, the best bluffer wins Features: - Single player mode — play anytime, no friends required - No account required — just pick a name and play - 1 to 8 players per game - Five categories: Sports, Pop Culture, Hard Words, Old-Timey Slang, and Foreign Idioms - Turn-based voting with live vote reveals - Completely free with no ads or in-app purchases
