THINK ALIKE

word association

A minimalist word association multiplayer game. See a word, submit an answer, match your friends. The rarer the match, the more it's worth.

What's inside

Simple to learn. Hard to predict.

Everything you need for a quick party game, a heated showdown, or a quiet moment of word practice.

Local multiplayer

Share a 5-letter game code over WiFi or Bluetooth. No accounts, no internet, no friction.

Two game modes

Connection fills in a blank, prefaces or completes a word. Association jumps to the first word that comes to mind.

♠︎

The Deck

A word-association practice deck. Flip through cards at your own pace, with no scoring. Can be used if hanging around a table using manual answering/scoring.

Tiebreaker duels

When it ends in a tie, shrinking targets appear faster and faster. One miss and you're out.

Game history

Every round, every answer. Look back at past sessions with a round-by-round breakdown.

Game modes

Two ways to match minds

Pick a mode before you start. Each one rewards a different kind of intuition. Similar, yet different.

Connection

A word appears with a blank before or after. Fill it with something that naturally connects.

_____ CAKE → CUP TOUGH _____LOVE _____ FRONT → COLD

Association

A single word. Respond with the first word that comes to mind. The obvious answer is often the winning one — unless you know something your opponents don't.

OCEAN → WAVE MUSIC → SONG FIRE → ?
