What's new

New games and changes in Game Night

  1. New

    Fairer rankings on tough days

    A daily nobody solved no longer counts for anyone, so a hard day can't pull your average up or down. Stats β€Ί Your placings says "Nobody solved it that day". And a chess rating now stops at 0.0, so your next win always moves it.

  2. New

    A friendlier screen if something breaks

    If a screen ever breaks, you'll now see Try again and Go to Home instead of an error message. Your games are saved, so nothing is lost. Just after an update, Game Night reloads itself.

  3. New

    Every game now ends the same way

    Straight Face, Two Timer, Bell Tower, Cross Patch and Scribblitz join the rest: every game ends with Play again, the game, Share and Home at the bottom, and back arrows take you where you came from.

  4. New

    Story and logic games end the new way

    Treasure or Trouble?, Whodunit?, Spy Words, Ghosts and Bright Valley now end on the new screen too. Look back with Board, Notepad or Journal. At a party, Home asks before you leave.

  5. New

    Card games end the new way

    Shoot the Moon!, Cribbage, Spades, Gin Rummy and Texas Hold'em now end on the new screen. Tap Table to look over the last hand, then See the result to come back. Play again, the game, Share and Home stay at the bottom.

  6. New

    Board games end the new way

    Five Dice, Four in a Row, Sea Battle, Chess and Solitaire now end on the new screen, after a moment to see the winning move. Play again, the game, Share and Home are always at the bottom.

  7. New

    Word games end the new way

    Word Duel, Know Way!, Four Groups and Letter Hive now end on the new screen too: Play again, the game, Share and Home always at the bottom. Also fixed: resigning while the computer was thinking in Word Duel now shows the result.

  8. New

    Back goes where you came from

    Every back arrow now takes you to the screen you were just on: Dailies, a friend's page, the Main Event. Opened from a notification, it goes to the game. Plus small fixes, like the Back gesture in Know Way! and Letter Hive races.

  9. New

    A new end-of-game screen

    Daily Word and Sudoku end on a new screen: Play again, the game, Share and Home always at the bottom. On a Main Event daily, the big button plays the next one, and back goes where you came from. Every game will end this way soon.

  10. New

    Fixes and polish

    Whodunit? on phones: the answers at the end of a case (and when you make an arrest) now sit under their questions instead of squeezed beside them, and the Daily Case shows its whole title. Thanks to the player who told us!

  11. New

    Fixes and polish

    Scribblitz: full points for the first 3 seconds of each drawing, so typing the word costs nothing, and a guess sent as the time runs out still counts. The Daily Sketch scores this way from 7 November. Thanks to the player who told us!

  12. New

    Fixes and polish

    Scribblitz: once a hint letter shows, type the whole word or skip the hint letters, whichever you like. Both spell it right now. Thanks to the player who told us!

  13. New

    Fixes and polish

    Know Way! on a slow connection: the answer you tap lights up at once and the clock stops, and a tap made in time now counts even if it takes a few seconds to reach us. Thanks to the player who told us!

  14. New

    Fixes and polish

    The Games tab no longer jumps as it loads. Cross Patch works better with a computer's keyboard: after the last clue, Tab moves on to Pause and the menu. And small green words, like Gin Rummy's Set and Run, are easier to read.

  15. New

    Fixes and polish

    Sudoku is easier with a keyboard: the arrow keys move between squares. And screen readers now read buttons across the app the way they look, so voice control can tap them by what you see.

  16. New

    Fixes and polish

    Small text is easier to read in every theme: links and greyed labels are a shade deeper, and Home's Word Duel card is crisper.

  17. New

    Report a result

    See a result on a rankings board that doesn't look fair? Tap its row to report it to the Game Night team. Nobody is told who reported it. How rankings work now has a Fair play part too.

    See Fair play
  18. New

    If your friend link has expired, opening the old link tells you so and points you to Add friend for a new one.

  19. New

    Fairer rankings

    New players join the Everyone boards 14 days after their first daily. The Chess Puzzle is ranked among friends only, as its puzzles can be looked up online. A result too quick for any person now counts as a miss.

    See Rankings
  20. New

    Invite someone new

    Your friend link is now an invite too. Someone who doesn't play yet can join Game Night with it, and you're friends from the start. You can bring in 5 people: see who joined under Friends β€Ί Add friend.

    Go to Friends
  21. New

    Report at parties too

    In a party's lobby, anyone can now tap someone to report or block them, not only the host. The host's Block also removes them, so the party goes on for everyone else.

  22. New

    Report a player

    If someone has a rude name, is unkind, cheats or seems under 13, tap β‹― next to their name and Report. Only the Game Night team sees it, and they are never told. You can block them in the same tap.

    Go to Friends
  23. New

    Fixes and polish

    Spy Words parties: a Chief who leaves and comes back gets their clues back from the computer. Blocking someone at a Straight Face or Scribblitz party now takes you out of that party for good. Plus some safety work behind the scenes.

  24. New

    A fairer Sudoku Daily

    Today's Sudoku is now checked by Game Night itself, so every time on Friends today and in the rankings is real. It looks the same, but a wrong number's βœ• comes a moment after you type it, and you need to be signed in to play it.

    Play today's puzzle
  25. New

    Fixes and polish

    Straight Face: only typing the answer itself counts as You knew it! (a list of guesses doesn't). Signing out now stops that phone getting your alerts, so whoever signs in next can turn on their own. Plus some safety work behind the scenes.

  26. New

    Scribblitz parties on a TV

    Put a Scribblitz party on a TV, laptop or tablet: the whole room sees each drawing big as it's drawn, the guesses and the scores. In the party's lobby, tap Put the party on a TV and type the number it shows.

    Host a party
  27. New

    Scribblitz parties in Stats

    Scribblitz parties in the room

    Host a Scribblitz party and show the QR code: everyone takes a turn drawing on their phone while the room guesses on theirs. The sooner you get it, the more points. Guests welcome, and Ada, Bo and Cy can draw too.

    Sound in Settings
  34. New

    Choose
  42. New
