A party staple, 10 million downloads strong

Nine years since launch in 2017. The word list is refreshed every year, so nothing you play ever feels dated.

No rulebook needed

The rules live inside the app. One person reads them out and you are playing three minutes after opening it — even with first-timers in the group.

Topic buttons keep the talk alive

In this game staying quiet is actually the safer play. Topic buttons hand you a fresh thing to talk about, turning every awkward silence back into the fun part.

1,400+ words to play with

Roughly 230 hours of material. From classics like “noodles” vs “pasta” to “heartbreak” vs “a crush”. Pick from food & drink, daily life, play and romance.

Three steps to play

No manual, no cards, no setup.

  1. 1

    Pick your group and pass the phone

    Works with 3 to 50 people. Pass one phone around and check your own word in secret.

  2. 2

    Talk about it for five minutes

    Everyone assumes they share the same word. One player — the wolf — was given a slightly different one.

  3. 3

    Point and vote

    Vote out whoever seems off. Catch the wolf and the citizens win; survive the vote and the wolf takes it.

Good for

People are together and the conversation stalls. This game owns those five minutes.
