Before everyone arrives.
Are these scary Halloween games?
The Halloween editions use friendly ghosts, pumpkins and silly fictional scenes. There are no jump scares, gore or horror sounds. The bidding game is suggested for ages 8+; younger children can share decisions with a grown-up.
What is free, and what does All Access add?
The solo bidding game is completely free. The multiplayer bidding match includes four complete rounds and scores. Drawing telephone includes a three-turn taster. All Access adds nine-round bidding matches, 6–8-turn drawing chains and the rest of the included collection for $4.99/month or $29/year (USD). Only the host pays; guests join free. See what membership includes.
Can we use phones? Do we need to share a screen?
For the bidding and drawing rooms, each player opens the invitation on their own phone, tablet or computer. Tap controls or use a keyboard. Use a separate voice call if apart. Do not share a private bid or drawing screen. The family quiz is different: a host shares one screen and the group gives answers.
What happens if someone disconnects?
Open the invitation in the same browser to recover a saved seat, or use your private recovery code. If necessary, ask the host to approve a move to another device. In Gather & Grab, the host can pass for a missing player after a minute. Rooms expire after two hours.
