Guess faces. Beat friends. FlipYourFriends is the classic guessing-game format - except every card is someone you actually know. Build a deck from photos of your friends, family, or team, then ask yes/no questions, flip cards to rule people out, and nail the final guess before your opponent gets you first. HOW IT WORKS Pick photos of friends who are in on the joke. The app crops and compresses them right on your device and lays them out as a card grid. Each player secretly locks in one character, then takes turns asking questions like "Do they wear glasses?" - flip everyone it rules out. Guess wrong and you lose the match, so choose your moment carefully. TWO WAYS TO PLAY Pass & Play - two players, one phone. Secretly pick your character, hand the phone over, and take turns asking questions out loud. No account needed - perfect for parties and game nights. Online Duel - create a match and invite a friend with a 6-digit code. Type your questions, answer honestly, and race to the final guess, each on your own phone. YOUR OWN DECKS This isn't a game about cartoon characters - it's a game about your people. Build custom decks from your camera roll and turn any group of friends, family, or coworkers into your next match. FREE TO PLAY The free version includes Pass & Play, Online Duel, and one custom deck with 16 cards. An occasional ad may appear after a match ends - never in the middle of one. FLIPYOURFRIENDS PRO One-time purchase, no subscription: - No ads, ever - Unlimited custom decks - Big 24-card grids for harder matches Grab your phone, grab a friend, and find out who really knows the crew best.
