Word game

Explain the word, beat the clock

In Alias one player explains a word to their team without saying it or its root, and the team guesses as many words as they can before the timer runs out. This page runs the whole game on one phone: teams, a timer for each turn, a card that changes with every guessed or skipped word, and the score.

Words come from ready themes you can mix, from animals and food to movies, music, school and office, or from your own list. You choose how many words a game takes and what a skip costs.

How to play

Set it up in a minute.

  1. Name the teams and choose explaining in words as the way to play.

  2. Pick the word themes and how many words a game takes, then set seconds per turn and points to win.

  3. Pass the phone: guessed words score, skipped ones can cost a point, and the phone shows the score after each turn.

What is in the game

Everything a game night needs on one screen.

  • Two to six teams with a score that carries from turn to turn
  • A timer with a signal, and a skip penalty you can switch on
  • Ready word themes to mix, and your own words on top

Who plays

Anyone with a phone and a few friends.

A family evening with two teams.

A party that needs a game between toasts.

A class or a team-building hour.

Friends on a long train ride.

How the words are chosen

Words are drawn from the themes you pick and are not repeated until the whole set has been played; the game remembers what was shown.

You can delete words, add your own lines and type exactly how many words a game takes.

Good to know

The game runs on one phone passed around the table; it is not an online room.

Explaining a word by its root or a translation is against the rules, but the phone cannot check it, so the team does.

Tips

  • Mix two or three themes so every turn feels different.
  • Switch the skip penalty on for a sharper game and off for children.

Questions about Alias online

Is this the same as the board game Alias?

The rules are the same idea: explain words to your team within a time limit. Here the phone replaces the cards, the sand timer and the score pad.

How many players does Alias need?

At least two teams of one or two people; four to ten players is comfortable.

Can we add our own words?

Yes. Add lines of your own and they join the ready words, or delete the ones you do not want.

Do the words repeat?

Not until every word of the chosen themes has been shown; then the set starts over.
