About Hot Phrase: Catch the Word

Turn any get-together into a shout-out-loud party. Hot Phrase is the fast, hilarious word-guessing game that gets friends and family off their boring routines and into a lot of fun & new memories. One download, and you've got a whole game night in your pocket. Think Charades meets hot potato: race to get your team to guess the word before the timer buzzes, then pass the phone — FAST! Get caught holding it when the buzzer goes and you lose and the other team scores. It's loud, chaotic, and instantly addictive. You have to play to love it. HOW TO PLAY The rules are dead simple, you'll be playing in 60 seconds: Split into two or more teams and pick a deck. One player holds the phone so their team can not see the word on screen. The player gives clues by describing it or acting it out or singing it, doing the voice — anything to get your team members to shout the right answer. Guessed it? Immediately pass the phone straight to the next player. Beat the buzzer. Whoever's holding the phone when the timer runs out loses the round, and the other teams take the point. The first team to the target score wins — then run it back, because nobody stops at one. No pen, no paper, no setup. Just pick up and play. ONE APP, MANY GAMES Hot Phrase isn't a single game — it's a whole shelf of them in one download. Choose one or more deck, change the rules, and play as you like: Classic clue-giving - describe the word without saying it, catchphrase style. Charades mode - no talking allowed, act the word out and let them guess. Celebrity impressions - do the voice, land the impression, win the round. Sing it - hum or sing your clue for music and movie decks. Accents & impressions - the sillier the voice, the faster the laughs. Taboo-style hard mode - give clues without any obvious words for a real challenge. Pictionary style - draw the word to make your team guess, no talking or singing (These are some of the other ways to play the built-in decks — mix and match to suit your group.) IN BUILT GAME MODES Team mode - split the room into squads for fierce, friendly, competitive party chaos. The classic Hot Phrase experience with scoring points. Solo mode - on your own or killing time? Play solo to beat your best score. Perfect for traffic, flights, or waiting in line. Online multiplayer - do you miss your friends who are far away? Challenge them from anywhere with online mode and keep the friendship & fun alive across cities. Pass-and-play — one phone, the whole group, endless rounds. No extra accounts, no fuss. 25+ DECKS & GROWING A huge, ever-expanding library so the game never goes stale — celebrities, movies, music, animals, food, actions, festivals and loads more. We add fresh words every week, so there's always something new to guess. MAKE IT YOURS Adjust the timer to go easy or ramp up the pressure. Turn sounds and effects on or off.
