Alias — play online for free

Explain the word without saying it. Your team guesses against the clock.

How to play

Online room · 2 or more teams · 2+ players

One player describes a word in their own words while their team shouts guesses. Only the one explaining sees the word. They press «Start» when ready — and then have a minute, or whatever you agreed. Guessed: swipe right. Not coming: swipe left, skip. After the turn comes the review: the explainer can take back a word that was counted by mistake, or restore one that was taken away; everyone sees it. Then the turn passes to the next team.

Points: A point for each word guessed. You can switch on a penalty for skipping — then a skipped word costs the team a point. You play to an agreed number of points; when someone gets close to it, the «last lap» begins.

Worth knowing: The cards are set up before the start: card language (the game's language or English words), difficulty (easy, medium, hard) and content — with or without 18+. A room is either open — it's in the list, anyone can walk in, and it lives for one day — or by code, in which case it isn't listed at all. There is also a one-phone game: no room, no code, and the internet is only needed at the start to download the deck.

Not allowed: Saying the word itself or anything from the same root, translating it into another language, or spelling it out. Acting it out is out too — this is Alias, not Solyanka.
