Alias

What can you play with friends when all you have is one iPhone? Try explaining “boomerang” without saying the word. Your team guesses, the timer runs down, and the next team gets the phone.

How to play

Split into 2–6 teams. Explain the word on screen to your teammates. Don’t say the word or use words with the same root, and don’t point. Every correct guess earns a point. The first team to reach your chosen target score wins.

Pick your words. Set your rules.

• Mix categories such as movies & TV, music, food, travel, science, video games, and words for kids.
• Set the round length and winning score, and choose whether skipped words cost a point.
• Give each team a name and a photo or animal avatar.
• Correct accidental taps when reviewing the words after a round.

Made for the same room

Everyone plays on one shared iPhone. Gameplay works offline after installation, so you can bring Alias to a game night or take it on a trip.
