About

Garble

Garble is the reverse audio game. Hear a short phrase played backwards, say the strange sounds back into your mic, and Garble flips your take so you hear yourself say it the right way round. Then guess what it was. Talking backwards sounds impossible. It is weirdly doable, usually hilarious, and the reveal never gets old. HOW TO PLAY 1. Listen. A phrase, played backwards. Hear it as often as you like. 2. Say it back. Copy the sounds you heard, backwards and all. Garble reverses your recording, and out comes the phrase in your own voice. 3. Guess. Type what you think it was. Close counts. WAYS TO PLAY • The Daily. One new garble every day, the same for everyone. Share your result and keep your streak, with two freezes a month. • Packs. Themed sets to play at your own pace: Hollywood Legends, Binge Mode, Chart Toppers, Meme Machine, Nightmare Mode, Toon Squad, Love Lines and more. Warm Up is free. • Send a garble. Record anything, hear it backwards, and share the link. Your friend plays it in the app or in any browser, no account needed, and can reply with a garble of their own. The Inbox keeps everything you have sent and received. • Party mode. One phone, 2 to 6 players. Everyone hears the garble, you pass the phone to say it back in turn, and the reveal scores every take. • Reaction videos. Film your face from the first listen to the reveal, then save or share the clip. • Studio. Record any phrase and hear yourself backwards. Perfect for game night, road trips, couples, families and anyone who has ever wondered what they sound like in reverse. FREE TO PLAY The daily, sending and decoding garbles, party mode with the free packs, Studio and streaks are free. No account needed.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Garble at none against Pantomime's shown. Pantomime's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 8 days) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
