Word guessing game

Give clues. Guess words. Pass the iPhone.

Why it fits

What you need for your first game.

One phone, 3–12 players

Gather your group around one iPhone. The clue giver reads the word on screen while the other players listen and guess.

Choose your round

Team Round gives each team a turn to score. Hand Off keeps the phone moving after correct guesses, with pressure building until time runs out.

Make it fit your group

Choose built-in categories such as Animals or History, then adjust the round duration and team sizes before you start.

How the word guessing works.

Imagine the word is “penguin.” Your clue might be “a bird that cannot fly, wears a tuxedo, and lives somewhere cold.” Your teammates call out their guesses. When they get it, mark the word correct and move on. This is an example clue to explain the rules.
