Two-player games for one phone or two
These are the games in the app that work with two players: four classic games, tic tac toe, four in a row, hangman and dots and boxes, plus truth or dare and this or that. Play them side by side on one phone, each on your own phone with a 4-letter code, or, for the four classic games, alone against the computer.

Which two-player game to pick
- One minute to spare: tic tac toe. A game rarely lasts longer.
- Ten minutes and a bit of thinking: four in a row. Threats and traps reward planning.
- A longer duel with a twist at the end: dots and boxes. The last chains decide everything.
- A word game for two: hangman. Take turns setting the word; most words found in five rounds wins.
- A slow evening for two: truth or dare, with the mild cards first.
