Twine is 135 games for two people, built for couples who aren't in the same room: different cities, different countries, different time zones. It works just as well on the same sofa. LONG DISTANCE, MADE SHORTER Play live while you're on a call, or take your turn now and let them find it later. Your late night in New York is their morning in Delhi, and the game waits for both of you. With Play Anytime, a game of chess can take a week: your move now, theirs tonight. Neither of you sees the other's answers until you've both played. THE GAMES YOU GREW UP WITH, MADE FOR TWO • Cards: Court Piece and Rang, Twenty-Nine, Judgement, Indian Rummy, Gin Rummy, Spades, Hearts, Color Clash in six house-rule versions, Crazy Eights, Go Fish, Durak, Scopa and more • Board classics: Chess and Chess960, Ludo, Snakes & Ladders, Backgammon, Checkers, Reversi, Mancala, Nine Men's Morris, Sea Battle, Dots and Boxes, Hex, Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe • Playground games: Hand Cricket with the odd-or-even toss, Rock Paper Scissors, Hangman, Word Duel, Word Chain, Name Place Animal Thing, Five Dice and a Sudoku race • Live two-phone games: Last Bite and Tap Tug. Each phone times its own player, so lag never decides who wins. QUESTIONS THAT DON'T RUN OUT Never Have I Ever (put a finger down), Would You Rather, This or That, Hot Takes, How Well Do You Know Me, Mind Meld, a 36-question Deep Dive and more. Over 1,200 prompts plus fresh ones every week, and Twine remembers what you've seen, so you get something new before anything repeats. YOUR STORY, KEPT TOGETHER Everything you learn about each other is kept in a shared scrapbook on both phones. Win card backs, table felts, dice and avatar frames by playing together, and watch the distance between you close on your Journey. THREE WAYS TO PLAY • One phone: pass it back and forth. No account needed. • Same room: two phones connect directly. No internet, no server. It works on a plane. • Any distance: send an invite link and you're paired. Invites, turns, chat and nudges get through even if one of you was offline. A PRIVATE LINE FOR TWO Chat with typing indicators and read receipts. One-tap nudges. Call from Twine with FaceTime, then play any game inside the call with SharePlay. Snap Swap: send a photo of right now; it stays locked until they send one back. DAILY SPARK The same question for both of you every day, wherever you are. Answer yours to unlock theirs. END-TO-END ENCRYPTED Once you're paired, chat, nudges, game turns, photos and video are sealed on your phone and opened only on theirs. Our server passes them along and can't read them. When you pair, both phones show four emoji: if they match, nobody is sitting between you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Sign in with Apple, name only. Twine never asks for your email. No ads, no ad tracking, no third-party analytics. The app counts a handful of anonymous milestones, like a first game finished, with no identifier attached. One-phone and same-room play need no account at all. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Two-column layouts on the big screen. FREE AND TWINE+ Free: 3 games a day from a library of 34, with unlimited chat, nudges and Daily Spark. Joining a game your partner starts never counts. Twine+: every game, every prompt, no daily limit, no promos. Choose yearly (with a free trial), monthly, or pay once for life. The app shows each price in your own currency before you buy. Turn on Family Sharing and your partner gets Twine+ too. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in Settings > your name > Subscriptions. Terms of Use: https://twineapp.club/terms Privacy Policy: https://twineapp.club/privacy
