Alias

Alias is a party game where you explain words and guess them against the clock. Gather your friends, split into teams, and play on one phone. Whether it’s a party, a family game night, or a get-together with colleagues, you can play offline without ad breaks.

How to play Alias

One player explains a word using associations, synonyms, and examples while their teammates try to guess as many words as possible before time runs out. You cannot say the word itself, use parts of it or words with the same root, or translate it. The app handles the timer and keeps score.

The idea is simple: say it another way! Even first-time players can quickly learn the rules. One device is all you need — players don’t need separate phones.
