[2 Player] Guess The Person
How a match works from start to finish
Step
Every match starts in the lobby. Once two players are seated, each of you picks a secret face the other cannot see. From there, you take turns asking questions and eliminating faces until one is left, then you guess. Both guesses are revealed at the same time, so even if you guess first the match keeps going until your opponent has had their turn too.
- Sit in a lobby chair this locks you into a match and opens the face-selection screen.
- Pick your secret face your choice stays hidden from your opponent the whole match.
- Ask a question questions are button-driven, so no typing is ever needed.
- Flip down faces after your opponent answers, remove every face on their board that no longer fits.
- Guess when one face remains make your guess, then wait for your opponent to make theirs.
- See both guesses revealed both results appear at the same time, and both players can be right.

Playing alone with a bot
Check
If there is nobody else around, press Play Alone in the lobby and a bot takes the opposite seat. It picks a secret face, answers your questions according to the rules, and tries to guess your face, just like a human opponent would.
- Press Play Alone from the lobby no need to wait for another player.
- The bot answers every question truthfully, so you can trust its yes and no responses.
- Invite a friend to the same server when you are ready for a human opponent sit in the lobby chairs to be matched.
Crowns and win emotes
Summary
Every time you win a match you receive crowns. You do not need crowns to play, but collecting them lets you buy win emotes — animations your character performs on the victory screen that the other player can see.
- Crowns earned by winning matches, used to purchase win emotes.
- Win emote a dance animation that plays on the win screen and is visible to your opponent.
- Playing without crowns fully allowed; crowns only unlock cosmetics, not access to matches.

Common questions
FAQDo I need to type anything to play?
No typing is required at any point. All questions and answers are handled through on-screen buttons.
What happens if both players guess wrong?
If you miss your opponent's face and your opponent misses yours, the match ends in a draw.
What if my opponent guesses wrong — do I still get a chance?
Yes. Even if your opponent misses your face, you still get your turn to guess. Both guesses go up on screen at the same time, so guessing correctly after your opponent fails still counts as a win for you.
Can I play with a specific friend?
Yes. Have your friend join the same server, then both sit down in the lobby chairs to be matched together.
