What is this game?

GuessWhoWrote is a free party game you play in your browser with friends. Each round, one player becomes "it" while everyone else anonymously writes a short piece about them based on a random prompt. Then "it" reads the writings and tries to work out who wrote each one. There is nothing to install and no account to create — share a room code or a link and you can play together, phones included.

How to play

  1. 1

    Create a room

    Pick a nickname and an avatar, then create a room. Send the four-character room code or the invite link to your friends.

  2. 2

    Write about "it"

    Each round one player becomes "it." Everyone else gets a random prompt and has two minutes to write about them.

  3. 3

    Guess the authors

    The writings are shuffled and shown anonymously. "It" picks who they think wrote each one, while the other players read along.

  4. 4

    See the results

    You find out how many guesses were right, and "it" can reveal the real author of exactly one writing. The game ends once everyone has been "it" once.
