Which one suits you?
Quiz Night
The question on the TV, four big answer buttons on your phone, 20 seconds on the clock. Fast correct answers score more, streaks earn a bonus – and the leaderboard after each question shows who’s catching up.
Pick Quiz Night when you want to test each other’s knowledge in about ten minutes.
Sea Battle
Each of you hides a fleet on your own phone, then you take turns firing into the other’s sea. A hit earns another shot – so a game can swing in a handful of moves.
Pick Sea Battle when two people want a tense guessing duel with a bit of tactics.
What they have in common
- Both only work with exactly 2 players.
- Both come free with Gather and need no account.
