For an in-person group that likes guessing
In Heads Up! and Guess Up, one person holds the phone so everyone else can see the clue. Start with a topic the whole group knows. Agree on allowed clues, how passes work and whether you want to record anything before starting the timer. Guess Up’s Team Mode is an option if your group wants a team score.
For a group that wants to play at the same time
Use 2 Player Games by JindoBlu for a two-person duel. For a bigger group, choose a local mode in 1 2 3 4 Player Games or Stickman Party that accepts the number of players you have. Set the device on a table so each player can reach their corner. For a longer game night, alternate short rounds with a charades game so people can take breaks from the screen.
For friends joining a video call
The publishers of Heads Up! and Guess Up describe playing alongside a video call. Set up a practice clue with the actual call layout first. Have one person show the card to the clue-givers while the guesser looks away from their own preview. If a single phone cannot keep the card visible and hidden from the right people, use a second screen or have a host handle the clues. The call itself needs an internet connection.
If you’ll be together somewhere without a connection, use the offline Android games comparison and test a local round before you leave.
