Unsay is a free multiplayer party game you play in your browser. Everyone at the table gets the same random letters, like B-O-I-Q, and writes a phrase whose words start with those letters. Then everyone votes for the funniest line. The tagline is "Things you can't unsay": every round has a topic, such as things you can't say to your boss.

Pick a name, join a table and write a line that fits the letters before the clock runs out. Each word has to start with the next letter, in order. When time is up, every line is shown without names and you vote for your favorite. The round winner picks the next topic, and the first player to 30 points goes to a three-round face-off for the win.

Yes. Every public table, private invite tables, the global leaderboard and the Hall of Fame are free. Optional purchases are the Guild Pass ($2.99 a month), flair packs, emoji packs and gift packs. None of them add points or votes.

Yes. Unsay is a modern take on Acrophobia, the acronym game from the late 1990s that people played on Mplayer and IRC. It keeps the core loop of write, vote and score, and adds topics, a face-off final, guilds and monthly leaderboards.

Up to 14 people can sit at a table. If fewer than 5 people are there, bots fill the empty seats so a game can always start, and they leave as real people join.

Each vote your line gets is worth 1 point. The round winner gets a bonus of 1 point per letter. The first line to get a vote earns 2 extra points for speed, and everyone who voted for the winner gets 1 point. If you don't vote, you lose that round's points.

A Turbo game to 30 points usually takes 10 to 15 minutes. Turbo rounds give 30 seconds to write and 15 to vote, Classic rounds give 60 and 20, and 6- and 7-letter rounds get extra time. Sprint tables play to 15 for a shorter game.

Yes. Choose Create table in the lobby, then send your friends the invite link. Your table waits in a waiting room until you press Start, and you can turn bots off.

Tables marked Keep it clean blur common swear words in lines and chat. Tables marked Adult language don't. The game is meant for players 13 and older, and Adult tables for players 18 and older.

No download is needed, and it works on phones, tablets and computers. You can play as a guest right away. Signing in with Google or an email link keeps your points, purchases and guild on every device.

The Guild Pass costs $2.99 a month (or $24 a year). It gives your crew its own members-only 14-seat table in the lobby, a guild leaderboard with its own Hall of Fame, a guild tag next to every member's name, and no ads for the owner.

Points from public tables count on the global leaderboard when at least 3 real people played the round. Bots never count. Every board resets on the 1st of the month, and that month's top 3 players, top guild and most-gifted line go into the Hall of Fame for good, with a free champion title.

Flair packs change how your name and wins look: name styles, win animations, vote-reveal effects and titles. Emoji packs add reactions that float over the table. Gifts let you reward a line you loved after the votes are in. They are all cosmetic and never change the score.

The monthly gift drop costs $2.99 and adds 2 gifts to your account every day for 30 days, the cheapest way to get gifts. Each day's gifts arrive when you open the game, and a day you miss isn't carried over. Buying another adds 30 more days.

Open the Daily tab once a day and check in for free gifts. Every day in a row adds to your streak: you get 1 gift a day in the first week, up to 4 a day later on, plus 3 extra every 7th day. Streaks of 3, 7, 30, 60, 100 and 365 days win titles like "Regular" and "No Life", and 14 days wins the Graffiti name style. Miss a day and the streak starts over, but you keep everything you won.

Finish a game at the same table as someone and you start a 🔥 streak with them. Play together again the next day to keep it going. A 7-day streak wins both of you the "Ride or Die" title, 30 days wins "Joined at the Hip" and 100 days wins "Partners in Crime".

Gifts other players send to your lines are banked as received gifts. Spend them in the Gift Exchange on flair and emoji packs, or on titles and emoji you can only get there, like "The Gifted" and "They Love Me". Gifts you bought can't be exchanged, and gifts can't be traded between players.
