Dos Play turns your phones into a box of games for two, whether you are on the couch or a continent apart. Lay one phone flat between you and tap in secret, or link two phones and play the same round live from anywhere. Race each other, draw badly, argue about who is more likely to forget an anniversary. Twenty-three games, no accounts, no waiting. THREE WAYS IN - Quick play: one game, about five minutes - Date night: three games dealt one after another, then a scorecard for the night - Daily question: one prompt a day, and a streak worth protecting MADE FOR LONG DISTANCE Every game works on one phone between you. Twenty-two of them also play across two linked phones: answer in secret on your own screen and reveal at the same moment. Start a game and your partner gets a tap-to-join invite. Hop on a video call and it feels like the same couch. TWENTY-THREE GAMES Know your partner: Who's More Likely To, This or That, Couples Match Quiz, Two Truths and a Lie Conversation: Would You Rather, Truth or Dare, Never Have I Ever, Red Flag or Green Flag Word and wit: Compound Word Chain Rapid fire: Name It Fast, Category Volley Act, draw and guess: Forehead Guess, Draw and Guess, 20 Questions Reflex duels: Air Hockey, Quick-Draw Duel, Reaction Duel, Stop the Clock Quick board games: Sea Battle, Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe, Dots and Boxes, Four in a Row, Memory Match Duel A SCOREBOARD THAT KEEPS RECEIPTS Every game feeds one private couple scoreboard: totals, records, streaks, and profiles that collect what you each answered. Nobody else ever sees it. MORE CARDS WHEN YOU WANT THEM The full box of games is free, and a card you have played stays out of the deck until you have seen them all. When a deck runs low, add a refill for that game or a themed pack: After Dark, Deep End, Long Distance, The Holidays. Everything unlocks them all, plus every pack we add later. One purchase covers both phones. PLAY ON A COMPUTER TOO The prompt games also play in a browser at dosplay.app/play. Link your phone and your packs come with you. AHORA EN ESPAร‘OL The whole app and every deck, in Spanish too. NO ACCOUNTS No sign in, no email. One phone needs no internet at all. Linking uses an anonymous code, never an account.
