FAQ

What games can a group play on one phone?

Pass-the-phone games such as Two Truths and a Lie, Would You Rather and riddles with scores work on a single phone. Team charades, team trivia and bingo work best on a laptop connected to a TV.

Do these games need an internet connection or an account?

No account is needed. You need to load the page once in a browser; game progress is stored only on that device.

Which games are good for a big group?

Team Trivia, Charades and the drawing game support 2 to 6 teams, so a whole room can play. Question-card games such as Icebreaker Questions have no player limit because everyone answers.

Are there two-player games for one device?

Yes. Chess, checkers, four in a row, reversi, go, mancala, dots and boxes and more have a two-player mode where you take turns on the same screen.

Why are some games missing from this list?

Games that only play against the computer, such as most card and dice games on this site, are left out because a second person cannot take a seat.
