Game guide
How to play SYNCD
SYNCD is a seven-question guessing game for two people. One person chooses every answer first. The other person then guesses all seven answers. Only after every guess is locked does the game reveal the matches and final score.
1. Choose couples or friends
Couples mode focuses on habits, favorites, date nights, memories, and everyday life together. Friends mode uses questions about personality, plans, shared moments, and the details close friends notice. A round draws seven questions from a larger collection and mixes different subjects and difficulty levels.
2. Decide how you want to play
Play together on one phone
The chooser answers all seven questions while keeping the screen private. After the handoff screen appears, pass the phone to the guesser. The guesser makes every choice, then both players can review the answers and score.
Play remotely on two phones
Create a temporary room and share its six-character code or private link. The second player joins from their own phone. Each player sees only the information needed for their role. If a connection drops, the room can recover after a refresh while it remains active. Either player can leave a round without waiting indefinitely.
3. Pick a suggestion or type your own answer
Every question includes four suggested answers, but none is mandatory. The chooser can type a short custom answer instead. During the guessing stage, that custom response appears among the possible choices without being marked as correct. The guesser can also type a response when none of the choices fits.
4. Lock all seven guesses
Answers are compared after removing extra spaces and ignoring capital letters. For example, “Sunday morning” and “ sunday morning ” count as the same answer. Apart from that normalization, the match is exact; similar ideas with different wording may not earn a point. This simple rule keeps scoring transparent.
5. Reveal the score and talk about the surprises
Each exact match earns one point, for a maximum of seven. SYNCD also shows a percentage and a playful verdict. The result measures guesses in one short round, not the health or future of a relationship. A missed answer is an invitation to ask why, share a story, or learn something new about the other person.
Fair-play tips
- Keep the chooser’s screen private until all seven answers are saved.
- Choose what feels true today rather than trying to make the answer easy.
- Use custom answers when the suggestions do not fit.
- Treat disagreements as conversation starters, not relationship verdicts.
- Start a fresh round for a new mix instead of memorizing the previous answers.
