Шапка это мобильная версия игры Шляпа, где вы будете объяснять, показывать и отгадывать слова. Это незаменимый помощник на всех вечеринках — подружит несовместимых людей, спасет от неловких пауз и создаст море смешных историй! Чем замечательна наша Шапка: - База из нескольких тысяч слов. - КАЖДЫЙ ДЕНЬ мы добавляем новые слова на темы, о которых гудит весь интернет. - Вы можете создавать СВОИ темы. - Есть разные языки — можете тренировать свой ENGLISH. - Можно менять количество туров, длительность игры и количество тем. - Следим за справедливостью и переносим неиспользованное время. - Подводим итоги, кто самый умный, быстрый и честный. - Помогаем разделиться на команды. - Защищаем слова от подглядывания. - Все бесплатно и без рекламы! Как играть: 1. Делитесь на команды: минимум 2 команды по 2 человека (но некоторые играют и вдвоем). Разделиться на команды мы поможем. 2. Выбираете количество туров, длительность раунда, количество слов в шапке. 3. Выбираете темы слов, которые мы придумала, или можете создать свою. 4. Игроки на время объясняют своей команде слова и фразы, которые появляются на экране. Способ объяснения зависит от тура — словами, жестами, одним словом или рисунком. 5. Выигрывает команда, которая отгадала больше всего слов за все туры. ! В каждом туре используется один и тот же набор слов, но объяснять их становится сложнее. Мы искренне любим эту игру и хотим, чтобы она приносила вам радость, поэтому если у вас есть замечания, пожелания и рекомендации, сразу пишите нам: shapkastudio@gmail.com.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Шапка at 4.8 against Alias's 4.2. Шапка also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (20 vs 5). Alias's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Шапка holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 20 and 5 respectively.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Шапка ships an update every 3 months, Alias every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
