About

BackTalk Party Game

Features
Read full description

BackTalk is a simple, social party game. Two teams take turns creating and guessing words using reversed audio. One team records a word normally, then passes the phone. The other team hears the word reversed, tries to say it backward, flips their recording, and finds out if it sounds like the original. It’s loud, funny, and surprisingly challenging. How it works: • Team A records a word and locks it in • Team B hears the word reversed • Team B records themselves saying the backwards word • The app reverses their backwards attempt so everyone hears the result • Team B guesses correctly to score a point • Teams switch each point BackTalk is designed to be easy to pick up, with no accounts, no setup, and no learning curve. Just pass the phone and play.
