Email supportHow do I play?
One player creates a room and shares the 4-letter code. Everyone joins on their own phone, splits into two teams, and the host starts the game. The word appears on one player's phone — give clues so your team guesses it. When they do, the word jumps to the other team's phone. Whoever is holding the word when the hidden bomb goes off loses the point.
How many players do I need?
Two minimum (one per team), but it shines with 4–16. Big groups should try Fishbowl mode.
My phone died / the app crashed mid-game. Am I out?
No — reopen the app and tap the "Game in progress" card on the home screen (or re-enter the room code) and you'll rejoin the running game.
The word won't appear / things look stuck.
PhonePhrase needs an internet connection on every phone. If a player loses signal, the game routes around them and they can rejoin any time. Still stuck? The host can end the game from the top-right of the game screen and start fresh.
Do I need an account?
No. Everyone plays as an instant guest — there's nothing to sign up for and no personal information required.
What's the After Dark pack?
An optional adults-only word category with mild innuendo. Skip it for family game night — the Kids pack is at the other end of the spectrum.
How do AI word packs work?
The host types a theme in the lobby and a custom deck of ~60 words is generated for that room. The theme text is used only to build the deck.
