Situation first
Skip the category debate.
GUFFAW starts with the place and people around you: waiting in line, riding in the back seat, sitting at dinner, staying over, or surviving an offsite.
- Pick the room.Choose the situation, then a deck with its age rating visible before you open it.
- Pass the phone.Play solo or in teams. Tilt for Correct or Pass, or use the on-screen tap controls.
- Settle the score.Fast rounds, readable cards, scorekeeping, and one-tap rematches keep the phone out of the way.
A private mix
Make a private mix for this group.
First names only: add 2 to 8 people, plus optional short hints. Group Deck shuffles a balanced 40-card mix from all 6 built-in decks rated 4+.
Names and hints stay on this phone. They seed the shuffle, but are not inserted into cards, saved, or sent anywhere.
Group Deck works offline with the same signed, age-rated cards as the stock decks.
For the whole room
Choose the ceiling once.
Every deck carries a 4+, 9+, 12+, or 17+ rating. Kid-Safe uses a PIN-protected age ceiling and filters anything above it from discovery, search, links, cached content, and Group Deck.
- Before the round
- The age rating is printed on the deck tile. Premium decks carry a keyhole before you choose them.
- During the round
- Correct and Pass use words, distinct symbols, haptics, and direction—not colour alone.
- When signal drops
- Built-in decks and Group Deck remain on the phone, so the game keeps moving offline.
Replay, only when invited
Catch the round. Keep control.
Optional Camera Replay records video from the front camera while a round is active. Decline camera access and every game control still works.
A replay stays on the device unless you choose Save or Share. Temporary video is cleared after that action, when Results closes, or during abandoned-session cleanup.
Private by construction
People belong in the game, not in a database.
No GUFFAW account. No advertising identifiers. No cross-app tracking. Group Deck names and replay video stay on the phone unless you explicitly share a replay.
Read the Privacy PolicyBefore someone asks
The useful answers.
Can GUFFAW play without internet?
Yes. The built-in decks and Group Deck play offline. A connection is needed for App Store purchases, restoration, and provider-backed services.
Does everyone need the app?
No. GUFFAW is designed around one iPhone passed around a group in the same room.
What does Premium unlock?
Six decks are included. Premium unlocks the remaining marked decks through annual or weekly subscription options shown in your App Store storefront.
What happens to names in Group Deck?
First names and optional hints are used in memory to seed a local shuffle. They are not saved, uploaded, or included in analytics.
Do I have to enable the camera?
No. Camera Replay is optional, records no microphone audio, and can stay off without changing gameplay.
Ready when the room is
One phone. Everyone in.
GUFFAW is built for iPhone and for people sharing the same actual room.
