When someone turns up, whoever started searching first becomes the host and picks the board. You don't need to do anything.

Still nobody around. Fancy the bot instead?

How to play
  1. You each hide one card. To win, you have to find theirs.
  2. Take turns. On your turn, ask a question or guess, not both.
  3. Yes: knock down everyone who doesn't have it.
    No: knock down everyone who has it.
  4. Tap Done to end your turn.
  5. When you know, tap I know who it is and tap the card. Get it wrong and you lose.
Asking a question
  1. Tap Ask a question, then a part of the picture or a button underneath.
  2. Tap a question to ask it.
  3. Everything else has colours, age and things they're holding. List view shows every question at once.
Knocking cards down
  1. I'll flip them: tap the cards yourself, like the real board.
  2. Flip them for me: tap Auto-flip them and they all go down at once.
  3. Undo flip puts them back up, until you tap Done.
  4. Can't reach a card? Tap your number of cards left at the top, then tap the card to stand it back up.
A closer look
  1. Turn your phone sideways to see the whole board spread out wide.
  2. Tap the magnifying glass (top right of the board), then any card, to see it big with its traits. Swipe for the next one.
  3. Tap the star, then the cards you suspect, to mark them. Tap your own card to see it big.
Hints
  1. A switch on the setup screen. Against the bot, it's for Easy games only.
  2. Each question shows how many cards it rules out. A dot shows the risk: green is safe, yellow is some risk, red only fits a card or two.
  3. Best questions shows the most useful ones.
  4. You get half the XP with hints on.
Double Trouble
  1. You each hide two cards. To win, you have to find both of theirs. It opens at level 10, or straight away with Pro.
  2. Ask a question as normal. The answer tells you how many of their two have it.
  3. Neither: knock down everyone who has it.
    Both: knock down everyone who doesn't.
    One of them: nobody goes down yet, as any card could be the one. Remember it for later.
  4. Putting answers together: say a hat is One of them, and short sleeves is One of them. If nobody on the board has both, one wears the hat and the other has the short sleeves. So anyone with neither is out.
  5. Auto-flip works all this out for you and says why.
  6. When you know, tap I know who it is and tap both cards. Get either one wrong and you lose.

    Cards you've knocked down

    Tap a card to stand it back up.

     

    Ask them anything

    They can see their card. Anything with a yes-or-no answer works — and the daft ones are the good ones.

    Report a problem

    What happened, and what you expected instead. The build number and your phone are attached automatically, so don't worry about those.
