Jambuza is the party game for your gathering. One phone hosts a room, everyone else joins with a six-letter code, and you play together: trivia, bluffs, rankings, word games and more. Everything comes in Arabic and English, and every game is built to be played with phones only. A TV is an optional bonus for the big screen. THE GAMES • My Thing (لعبتي): pick a category and your challenge, Easy 10, Medium 20 or Hard 30, then answer to earn those points. • The List (القائمة): name as many correct answers as you can before time runs out. • Bluff It (خدعة): write a fake answer good enough to fool the room, then spot the real one. • Mind Link (ربط العقول): one-word answers. Match the others to score. • Rank It (رتّبها): put the items in the right order. Every correct position earns points. • On the Dot (بالملي): precision micro-games. Stop the clock, hold your nerve, land it on the dot. • The Jury (هيئة المحلفين): vote TRUE or FALSE on wild statements, with streak bonuses. • Yearly (في أي سنة): guess the year it happened. The closer you are, the more you earn. • 15 Words (15 كلمة): race the other team to guess 10 hidden words with only 15 clues. • By the Letter (بالحرف): one letter, five categories. Bold answers beat safe ones. • Between Letters (بين حرفين): one word trapped between two letters. Every letter pays, the longest takes the star. • The Bill (الفاتورة): the restaurant bill nobody wants. Fling it before it blows and call who ends up paying. • Wing It (رقعها): one player secretly gets a different question. The room hunts whoever is winging it. • First Hunch (عالطاير): four clues and a falling score. Catch it on the first hint for 40. • Falcon Eye (عين الصقر): look closely, remember the picture, catch every change. • Pieces (مشققه): tear your word to pieces, scramble it, then piece everyone else's back together. KIDS EDITION (ages 6 to 12): Hot Potato and Spark, fast rounds in a brighter look. SOCIAL EDITION: a no-score session for talking, not competing. HOW IT WORKS 1. The host creates a room and picks a game. 2. Everyone joins with the code or a WhatsApp link. Guests never need an account. 3. Play on your phones. If there is a TV in the room, connect it to show rounds and results on the big screen. Hosting a game uses a game credit. Premium gives unlimited games for 7 or 30 days, bigger rooms and extra avatar colours. Joining a room is always free.
