*** APP STORE EDITOR'S CHOICE *** From the band OK Go, a totally new kind of word game. It's creative, with no preset answers -- a funny, unpredictable, mind-melding, turn-by-turn game where you have to think like your friends! Say the Same Thing is the social word game where you and a friend try to say the same word, at the exact same time. The rules take ten seconds to learn. You each say a word. If they don't match, you take those two words and each try to say something that connects them -- something they have in common, or a bridge between them. You keep going, round after round, your answers closing in, until you both say the same thing. That's the win. It sounds easy until you're four rounds deep, you said "ocean," they said "engine," and you have to find the one word that pulls you back together. Getting two minds to meet in the middle is harder, funnier, and more satisfying than it has any right to be. PLAY WITH YOUR FRIENDS - Group games with friends -- start a private game with your friends and play together in real time. Take your turns whenever you want; the game waits for everyone. - Live reactions & stamps -- react the moment a friend's guess is hilariously close, or hilariously far. - In-game chat -- talk trash, celebrate, and react without leaving the game. - Shared win history -- every game you've won together, saved to celebrate and relive. - Find friends fast -- search, add, and challenge friends in seconds.
