About Categories – Word Party Game

The classic pen-and-paper categories game, finally done right. Pick a letter, fill every category before the timer runs out and hit STOP before anyone else does. Play offline, pass and play on one phone, or online with the whole world.

HOW TO PLAY
A random letter is drawn. Name a country, a city, a name, an animal, a thing, a plant, a profession, a food – anything that starts with that letter. Unique answers score more points, duplicates score less, and the fastest player can slam STOP to end the round for everyone. Nine categories, ninety seconds, one letter. Simple to learn, impossible to put down.

GAME MODES
• Solo vs bots – play offline against clever computer opponents, no internet or Wi-Fi needed. The perfect word game for flights, road trips and waiting rooms.
• Pass and play – multiplayer on one phone. Hand the device around the table and play with 2, 3 or 4 friends at a party, on a family evening or in the classroom.
• Online multiplayer – play with friends or get matched with players from around the world in real time, with a live STOP button.
• Daily challenge – one new letter every day, build your streak and climb the weekly league.
• Arcade journey – a level-based campaign that gets harder as you progress.

FAIR ANSWER CHECKING
Every answer is verified on the server with a smart dictionary. No more arguing over whether "Xylophone" is a thing or "Zagreb" is a city – the game knows. No pen, no paper, no cheating, no fights.
