Play with friends — or the world

Share a room code to play with people you know, or tap Quick Match to be paired by language with other players looking for a game right now.

  • Quick Match means strangers. You may be matched with people you don’t know, so it needs Game Center sign-in — that’s what lets reports and time-outs stick to a person rather than a throwaway name.
  • Answers are shown to your opponents. The words you type during a round are revealed to the room. Keep it friendly.
  • A word filter and reporting are built in. Offensive words are masked automatically, and any player can report another; enough distinct reports and that account is timed out of Quick Match. Full detail is in the privacy policy.
  • Games with friends never need Game Center. Room codes and Pass & Play work with no sign-in at all.
