About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a wordy, sneaky showdown! In Werewords, players have just 10 minutes to guess a secret word by asking only 'yes' or 'no' questions. Sounds simple, right? Not so fast! There's a werewolf among you, who not only knows the word but is also working to sabotage everyone. If time runs out before the word is guessed, the team can still win by identifying the werewolf. To help (or hinder!), there's the Seer, who knows the word but must be subtle to avoid giving it away to the werewolf. If the word is guessed, the werewolf can turn the tables and win by identifying the Seer! This is all powered by a free app that provides a vast ocean of words and categories, ensuring endless challenges. It's pure group fun, with guaranteed laughs and that delicious tension of figuring out who's telling the truth.
