Pass one phone around the couch, or let everyone join on their own phone with a four-letter room code. No accounts, no ads, no waiting on anyone to sign up. PASS & PLAY One phone, two teams. Describe, guess, pass. When the buzzer sounds, whoever is holding it loses the round. Or play Free for All, where the phrase gets thrown to the next player automatically and it's every player for themselves. PARTY MODE Everyone joins on their own phone with a room code. The host phone becomes the shared scoreboard, so prop it up where the room can see it. TWELVE DECKS INCLUDED Everyday Life, Food & Drink, Entertainment, Animals & Nature, Sports & Games, Sayings & Idioms, Movies & Shows, People & Characters, Music, Tech & Internet, Holidays & Seasons, and an Explicit deck for the late rounds. Every deck has 100+ phrases. Mix as many as you want in one game. THE SKIP RULE Stuck on a phrase? Skip it. It costs you one future Got It, and they stack. Skip twice and you'll feel it.

Nothing you type ever leaves your phone.
