For couples in different places
121 games for two people who aren't in the same room. Play live on a call, or take your turn now and let them find it in the morning. Neither of you sees the other's answers until you've both played.
Today's Daily Spark
Both of you get the same question every day, wherever you are, because it rolls over at midnight UTC rather than your midnight. You only see their answer once you've written yours. This is today's real question from the app.
Two ways to play apart
Most couples' games assume you're both free at the same moment. With a time difference, you often aren't.
Pick a game and it shows up on their phone as an invite. Tap once and you're both in, playing the same cards in the same order. On a FaceTime call? Play it inside the call with SharePlay, and see and hear each other in picture in picture while you play.
Answer your round now. They answer theirs whenever they wake up. Neither of you sees the other's answers until you've both finished, and then you see how many you matched.
Wherever you both are
Pass it back and forth on the sofa. Nothing to set up and no internet needed.
Your phones connect to each other directly, with no internet and no server. That works on a flight, at a campsite, or when the Wi-Fi is down.
Pair your phones once and you're connected for good. Invites, turns, chat and nudges get through, even when one of you was offline when they were sent.
Not just questions
Real rules, dealt fairly, on one phone or two. And with Play Anytime, a game of chess can take a week: your move now, theirs tonight.
Color Clash in six house-rule versions, Spades, Hearts, Court Piece and Rang, Judgement, Twenty-Nine, Gin, Indian Rummy, Crazy Eights, Go Fish, Durak, Scopa and more.
Chess and Chess960, Ludo, Snakes & Ladders, Backgammon, Checkers, Reversi, Mancala, Nine Men's Morris, Sea Battle, Dots and Boxes, Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe.
Hand Cricket with the odd-or-even toss, Rock Paper Scissors, Hangman, Word Duel, Word Chain, Name Place Animal Thing, Five Dice and a Sudoku race.
The library
Some are for a quick laugh, some are for a long talk, and some are just for you two. Tap a game to see what's in it.
Try one here
This is the one-phone mode from the app, running in your browser. You pick without them seeing, hand the phone over, they pick, and then you both see where you matched.

Between games
Private by design
Your chat, nudges, game turns and video are encrypted on your phone and can only be opened on theirs. Our server passes them along but doesn't hold the key to open them.
When you pair, both phones show four emoji. If they match, nobody is sitting between you.

Questions
Start 3 games a day from a library of 41, as many rounds as each game has. Chat, nudges and the Daily Spark never count, and neither does joining a game your partner started. Twine+ ($24.99 a year, first week free) removes the limit and opens all 121 games.
For two phones, yes. Each of you installs Twine, signs in with Apple, and adds the other with your Twine codes; then you pair once. For one-phone games you only need one copy.
That's what Twine is built for. With Play Anytime you each answer when it suits you, and the Daily Spark is the same question for both of you whatever your time zone. If one of you is offline, invites and turns wait until they're back.
Only to play apart. You sign in with Apple and share just your name — Twine never asks for your email. Playing on one phone, or on two phones in the same room, needs no account at all.
No. Once you've paired, your chat, nudges, game turns and video are encrypted on your phone and can only be opened on your partner's. Games played with a one-off room code before pairing are sent over an encrypted connection but aren't end-to-end encrypted, and the privacy policy says so.
Not yet. Twine is for iPhone, iOS 17 and later.
In your iPhone's Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions. Apple handles the billing, so we never see your card.
Twine is on the App Store for iPhone. Free to start: 3 games a day from 41, and no account needed to play on one phone.
