Turn your group chat into game night with live races, drawing challenges, and friendly rivalries right inside iMessage. Duelio brings pool, bowling, archery, word games, chess, cards, racing, and more into one game collection for iPhone and iPad. Send a challenge from your conversation, give a friend a score to beat, or get everyone together for a live match. Whether you have a few minutes between messages or time for another rematch, there's a game to keep the conversation going. FIND YOUR NEXT FAVORITE • SketchBot: Draw the prompts while on-device AI tries to recognize your sketches in real time. Friends tackle the same prompts, compare how many drawings were recognized, and see each other's creations. Can your quick sketch beat theirs? • Archery: Draw your bow, read the wind, and chase the bullseye. Shoot three arrows per round across three rounds, then send your turn through iMessage. Most points wins. • Live Racing: Race against friends in Road Rush, dodge hazards, and use power-ups as you chase the finish. Prefer a score to beat? Try a time challenge, or work on your corners in Drift. • Curling: Take aim, sweep your stone, and plan your next shot. Knock an opponent out of position or find the angle that changes the match. • Sports and Skill Games: Challenge friends in bowling, pool, darts, and more. Go for a strike, line up a tricky shot, or make the comeback that earns you a rematch. • Word Games: Find hidden words in Word Hunt, rearrange letters in Anagrams, or race the fuse in Word Bomb. Choose a shared score challenge or a live round that tests how fast you can think. • Board and Card Games: Plan your next move in chess and checkers, connect four, or deal into poker, blackjack, and Go Fish. Mix familiar favorites with different rules and options. • Trivia and Social Games: Test your knowledge in Trivia Rush, spell under pressure in Spelling Bee, or use street-view clues to guess a location in Landmark. Try Insider or 2 Truths & 1 Lie with your Messages group. • Drawing Games: Swap drawing prompts, follow a Telephone chain from words to pictures, or build a shared creation. Discover what happens when your friends get hold of the canvas. MORE WAYS TO PLAY Explore more than 50 ways to play across game modes, rules, and configurations.

GameFlock is game night for the group chat. Deal a table into the conversation. Everyone who taps it takes a seat, and once the chat has sat down you pick the game together: everyone taps the one they want, the host deals it, and the whole table plays the same live round at once. Nobody waits on a turn. Your friends don't need an account, and they don't need anything installed to sit down. THE GAMES • Imposter — one of you doesn't know the word. Drop a clue, read the room, find the fake before the vote. • Mafia — secret roles. Night falls. Someone's lying, and the village votes at dawn. • Vibes — one clue between two extremes. The chat argues over where it lands. • Doodle Dash — draw it live, every stroke on everyone's screen, while the chat races to guess. • Match Race — two cards, one shared symbol, one clock. First tap takes the point. • President — climb the ranks. Last place pays tribute. • Spinner — every seat on one wheel. Spin to settle it. ONE TABLE, ALL NIGHT Between rounds the host switches games without dealing a new card. Same seats, same chat, same table. YOUR SEAT Pick your animal, your name, and your colors once. You're the same face at every table, in every chat, and in the app. THE PRACTICE TABLE Open the GameFlock app and sit down with the flock's bots. Same games, same rules, so you know a game before you deal it to friends. Every game has a plain-words guide right there. HOW A TABLE WORKS 1. Open a group chat and tap GameFlock in the app drawer. 2. Deal a table. The card lands in the conversation. 3. Everyone who taps it takes a seat. 4. Tap the game you want. The host deals it, and the round starts for the whole table. Tables run on a live server, so every seat sees the same round at the same time. Late arrivals watch from the rail and join the next round. Table chat is built in. GameFlock works inside iMessage group chats on iPhone and iPad. No sign-up, no contacts access, no ads.
