Where bad texting makes for good times. Decode phonetic disasters before the timer dies.
← Back to catalogHow to play
Goal
One player sends a messy text. Another has to say (or type) what it actually meant before the timer runs out.
Roles
Roles rotate every round so everyone plays each part.
- Textovert — sees the messy phrase and the real meaning. Sends the bubble. Taps That's it! if the guess is spoken correctly, or Reveal when time is up.
- Typing Bubble — only sees the gibberish. Decode it out loud or type a guess. iMessage-style
...means they are working on it. - Read Receipts — everyone else. Available for Forward to Bestie and To The Group Chat.
Lifelines
The Typing Bubble may use each once per round:
- Scroll Up — previous message in the thread.
- Predictive Text — three chips; one is the meaning.
- Forward to Bestie — 15-second private consult with one Read Receipt.
- To The Group Chat — everyone else shouts one guess.
Scoring
Correct decode before the timer: +1 for the Typing Bubble. Optional house rule: +1 more if no lifelines were used. Timer expire: no points, meaning revealed.
Default match: one full rotation (everyone is Typing Bubble once). Host can switch to first-to-5.
