A spy-themed party word game for iOS and Android.

August 1, 2026 · Active

A word game for two teams, played on phones in the same room or online. It is inspired by the board game Decrypto.

How to play

Each team has four secret words, numbered 1 to 4.
Each round, one player gets a secret code, like 4-1-3.
They give one clue for each number. If word 4 is “ocean”, the clue might be “waves”.
Their team guesses the code from the clues. The other team tries to guess it too.
The trick is giving clues your team will get but the other team won’t.
Guess the other team’s codes to win. Get your own team’s codes wrong and you lose.

Local play over mDNS. The host’s phone runs a WebSocket server and advertises it over mDNS, so nearby phones find the game on the same Wi-Fi. No internet needed.
Online play. A lightweight cloud relay passes messages between phones. Local and online run the same game code.
Reconnects. A bot fills a dropped player’s seat until they rejoin. Online hosts can restart the app and resume the game.
Bots. Bots run offline, using compressed word vectors to give and guess clues. Harder bots use more dimensions and less random noise.
Stats and achievements. 25 achievements sync to Game Center and Google Play Games. Progress works offline and is backed up with cloud save.
