BluGame games · Rules and features
The table's host knows the word or phrase and describes it using emoji only — adding them one by one while everyone else sees them appear live on their phones and types in guesses. The first to get it right scores a point; a round lasts at most two minutes. The describer's role never rotates — the same player, the host, describes throughout the game.
Rules
These are the same rules the app shows players in the game menu.
One person — the table's host — knows the hidden word or phrase and describes it using emoji only. Everyone else sees those emoji on their phones and tries to guess it. The first to give the correct answer scores a point.
The host describes, everyone else guesses. The describer never changes — the same player, the host, describes throughout the game.
The app picks a word or phrase and shows it in large type to the host only. The host adds emoji one at a time — tapping them in a grid of selected popular emoji or typing their own from the phone keyboard — there is no limit on how many emoji. Each new emoji appears right away on the other players' phones. Players type an answer into the "Your answer" field and confirm with "Guess!". You can try as many times as you like.
A round lasts at most two minutes. It ends when someone guesses right, or when time runs out — then nobody scores. If two correct answers arrive almost at the same moment, the point goes to the one that arrived first; the other player sees "You got it, but someone was faster!". After every round the app shows everyone a short summary with the word revealed and starts the next round by itself — the host doesn't have to tap anything.
An answer has to match the word letter for letter: the app ignores capital letters and spaces at the start and end, but requires accents and special characters as written (the word bank is in Polish, e.g. "żółw", not "zolw"). Typos are not tolerated.
The first to get it right scores a point. A game is a series of rounds — the host sets the number of rounds (1 to 10, 5 by default) when creating the table. Words never repeat within one game. After the last round the player with the highest score above zero wins. On a tie, or if nobody scored, the app shows a draw — there is no tiebreak.
The game is for 2–4 players. It starts when everyone gathered agrees to begin, or automatically when the host chose to wait for a set number of players and that many have joined.
Example
Step by step, the way it plays out at the table.
Ala creates a table for 3 rounds and becomes the host. Bartek and Celina join over Bluetooth and everyone agrees to start.
The app shows Ala the word "pizza". Ala adds 🍕, and a moment later 🇮🇹. Bartek types "pasta" and sees "Not yet — keep trying.". Celina types "pizza" and scores: the round ends right away.
Ala describes the word with a few emoji, but two minutes pass and nobody guesses. A summary with the revealed word appears, the round ends with no point, and a moment later the next one starts.
Celina wins the third round too. After the last round the app shows the results: Celina 2 points, Bartek 0 — Celina wins. Ala doesn't guess because she describes, so only Bartek and Celina can score.
In the BluGame app
What happens in the phones and what stays at the table.
The word is only on the host's phone — guests receive just the emoji the host adds one by one.
Every emoji that's added appears immediately on all players' phones.
When two correct answers arrive almost together, the app gives the point to the first one.
The app keeps the two-minute round limit, counts points, moves on by itself after every round and shows the results at the end.
The words are built into the app and never repeat within one game. For now they are in Polish only.
Platform
Phones connect directly over Bluetooth — game data never reaches the internet.
You don't create an account or log in — you sit down and play.
Each phone picks up its own language, so at one table everyone plays in theirs.
Custom
Standard is the full game for everyone. Custom is an option for venues and events — it adds the venue's logo and welcome text and a few extras.
Custom doesn't change this game's rules — it adds the venue's logo, welcome text and house rules shown in the app.
