Backwords Game is a delightful and engaging game that involves guessing words in reverse. Select a word and send the recording to your friend. Your friend will listen to the word played in reverse and then replicate exactly what they hear. Subsequently, their recording will be reversed and played forwards, enabling them to hear and guess the original word! Mastering this game requires a sharp ear and quick thinking. You can play with distant friends using Game Center or free play passing the device between friends. Good luck!

Can you copy a phrase played backwards? Watching your friends try is the funny part, and Flippo makes a team game out of it. HOW TO PLAY 1. Record a secret phrase. 2. Flippo plays your voice backwards. 3. A teammate listens and copies the reversed sounds out loud. 4. Flippo flips their attempt back. If it was close, it sounds like your phrase, and the team has to guess what you said. Each correct guess is worth a point. Teams take turns, and the first to reach the target score wins. If the team misses, laugh and pass the phone. Good for house parties, game nights, family get-togethers and sleepovers, or any group that's tired of charades. FEATURES • Three modes: Simple (single words), Advanced (short phrases) and Custom, where you say whatever you like • As many teams as you need, each with a random name • Set the target score and how many times a recording can be replayed • Built-in rules and tips • Share your funniest clips, with or without the original recording • No account needed • Flippo never uploads your audio. It keeps a clip only when you save it. Free to play, with an optional one-time purchase to remove ads.
