How to play

In short

You play as a pair, each on your own phone. How much do you really know about each other?
Questions alternate between the two of you, e.g. “What does Emma order at a diner?”
The person the question is about secretly answers about themselves.
The other person guesses what the first one answered.
Every match is a point. At the end: “You know each other 9 out of 12”.

1. Setup

One person creates a room and becomes the host . The other joins via the link or by typing the 5-character room code. No account needed, just a nickname (preferably your first name, since it goes into the questions).
Exactly two people play, usually the first two in the room. If there are more people in the room, the host picks the pair using the buttons next to the players. The rest watch : they see the questions and the round results, but the answers only after the reveal.
The host picks the deck and the number of questions: 8 (about 10 minutes), 12 (about 15 minutes) or 16 (about 20 minutes). There are always equal numbers of questions about each person.
The host taps “Start”. The game picks who the first question is about.

2. Question decks

Friends (82 questions)Habits, food, trips, phones and little quirks. For friends, siblings, roommates.
Parent and child (82 questions)Simple questions, understandable from about age 8, that work both ways: one about the child, one about the adult. Great for grandparents, aunts and uncles.
Pair (82 questions)Dates, memories of the early days, affection, everyday life together, shared plans.
Couple After Dark 18+ (62 questions)Flirting, dates, kisses and the mood between two people. Spicy, but tasteful: no profanity and no explicit content. The host can only pick it after confirming they’re 18. When this deck is selected, everyone in the room (spectators too) will only see the questions after confirming their age on their own phone.

In one room, questions don’t repeat as long as the deck lasts. Skipped questions won’t come back either.

3. How a round works

You both see the same question with the name of the person it’s about. Your role card tells you what to do:
- question about you — answer honestly about yourself,
- question about the other person — guess what they’ll answer.
You answer in any order. You can only see who has already answered, not what. Until the other person answers, you can change your mind.
When you’ve both answered, the result reveals itself: the answer about themselves, the other person’s guess and whether it’s a match.
Either person in the pair or the host moves on with the “Next question” button. Nothing happens on its own, so you can chat about the answer at your own pace.

Skipping questions

Either of you can skip a question with one tap, no penalty and no reason needed. The game doesn’t say who skipped. Another question about the same person appears.

4. Two kinds of questions

Multiple choice

Most questions have 3–4 answers to tap. It’s a match when you both pick the same answer.

Short typed answer

Some questions need you to type a word or two, e.g. your favorite fruit. The game compares answers generously:

capitals, accents and punctuation don’t matter (“Crème brûlée” = “creme brulee”),
a small typo or a different ending doesn’t matter either (“strawberries” = “strawberry”, “spaghetti” = “spagetti”),
a shorter answer contained in a longer one counts (“pizza” = “Hawaiian pizza”).

When the game counts a guess as a miss but it means the same thing (“bike” and “riding a bike”), the person the question was about can tap “I’ll allow it — same thing”. They can also take it back.

Typed answers are only visible on the reveal screen. When you move to the next question, the game deletes them and only remembers whether it was a match.

5. Points and the end of the game

Every match is a point for both of you. You play together, not against each other.
The game also shows how many times each of you guessed right. Just for fun.
After the last question you see your result, e.g. “You know each other 9 out of 12”, and a summary ranging from “Mysterious strangers” to “Telepathy”.

The host can end the game early (a question without a reveal doesn’t count) or, at the end, tap “Let’s play again”. The deck, number of questions and the pair are changed in the lobby.

6. Remote play

Everything happens in the app, so you can play from different cities without talking. But it’s most fun on a WhatsApp, FaceTime or Google Meet call: “What do you mean, not pizza?!” is half the fun.

7. FAQ

What if someone from the pair leaves the room mid-game?: The game stops and you go back to the lobby. One of the spectators takes the free spot in the pair, or the host picks a new pair.
Can spectators see the answers before the reveal?: No. They see the question and who has already answered. They’ll see the answer and the guess together with the pair.
I don’t want to answer this question.: Tap “Skip this question”. No penalty, no explaining, and the other person won’t find out who skipped.
Can more people play?: Two people play, but the room can have more spectators. After the game the host can set up a new pair.
