Then choose Poker Face in the game list. No account required.

The rules

Read the silly line aloud in person or on your own call. Each person then chooses Kept straight, Smiled or Pass. Choices reveal by name together. This is self-reported—not camera or microphone judging—and there is no penalty for passing.

What you need and how to start

Choose Poker Face and select the player count for a shared-device game; names are optional. Alternatively, create a room and invite friends to join on their own phones.

In a room, choose the game first. Everyone, including the host, taps I’m ready. The host then taps Start to begin.

Open the web app in your device’s browser. Playing requires JavaScript. Multiplayer rooms require an internet connection on every device. Use the game’s ? button whenever you want to check the rules.
