House rules

Every table plays a little differently. Use these common variations as inspiration for your games. The app works the same whichever rules you play by.

Yes means ask again

A yes earns you another question. Your turn ends on a no.

A cap on questions

Twenty questions each, as in the old parlour game. Tip: keep count in the app’s Notes.

Mingle

No circle and no turns. Everyone wanders round and asks anyone, whenever they like. Good for a big room, or when the game is really an excuse to mingle.

Teams

Pairs share one card and talk it over before each question.

The first letter

Stuck for too long? The room gives you the first letter as a hint.

Flip things around

Instead of everyone getting a card, only one person does. They look at it and keep it secret, and everyone else asks them questions until someone guesses it.
