How many players do you need?

At least 4, and it only gets better with more. There's no upper limit, and the game board fits everyone on one screen.

Do players need an app or an account?

No. Alias runs in any web browser. Only the host signs in to create a game; everyone else scans the QR code or types the game code. Players can even share one phone.

Can we play it on a TV?

Yes. The host can put the join screen full screen on a TV or a shared screen, and the game board is built to be readable from across the room.

Alias · The fake name party game

A party game about fake names and wrong guesses.

Alias is a free party game where everyone picks a secret fake name and you take turns guessing who's who. Play in your browser on any phone. No app, no sign-up to join.

How to play

Gather at least 4 people. The more, the better.
One person creates the game (sign-in required for the host only) and shares the game code or QR code with everyone else.
No phone? No problem. Players can share a single device — you don't need to join individually.
Each player thinks of an alias: a fake name of a famous person, fictional character, or someone everyone in the group knows. Make it hard to guess — think outside the box!
Enter your alias into the text box and submit. Aliases are not tied to your device or account, so sharing a phone is totally fine.
Once every player has submitted an alias, the host starts the game.
Players take turns guessing who is behind each alias. For example: "Kyle, are you John Stamos?" — if correct, that player is out and the guesser keeps going.
The last person whose alias hasn't been guessed wins.
