Who Am I? game questions

Each round uses one of two free draws a day, shared across CardYard games. Your own word lists are unlimited.

How do you play Who Am I? online?

Open the game on any phone and press Start round. The guesser holds the phone to their forehead with the screen facing the group. Everyone else gives clues without saying the word. Tap the bottom half of the screen for correct and the top half to pass, or turn on tilt. You get as many as you can before the clock runs out.

Is the Who Am I? game free?

Yes. Each round uses one of CardYard's two free draws a day, shared across games, and rounds with your own word list are unlimited. Premium removes the daily cap and adds the Spicy 18+ deck and adult themes.

Do I need an app or an account?

No. Who Am I? runs in the browser on iPhone, Android, tablets and laptops, with no download and no sign-up to start.

Does tilt work on iPhone?

Yes. Tap Tilt and Safari asks to allow motion; tap Allow. Then nod the phone down for correct and tip it back to pass. If motion is not allowed, tap controls keep working.

Can we play Who Am I? over a video call?

Yes. The guesser turns their camera away from the screen or closes their eyes while a host shares the game. The host presses the arrow keys: right or down for correct, left or up to pass.

What decks are there?

Party Mix, Animals, Characters, Famous People, Movies, Food & Drink, Jobs, Everyday Things, Sports & Games, Places, Act It Out, Impressions, Kids, Christmas, Thanksgiving and Spicy 18+. Or type any theme and AI writes a fresh deck.

How many people can play?

Two or more. Play solo turns and pass the phone, or split into teams and compare the score after each round.

Is Who Am I? good for kids and classrooms?

Yes. The Kids deck uses simple words, every deck except Spicy 18+ is family friendly, and teachers can paste their own vocabulary list for review rounds.
