Description
Show full descriptionShow less
Think fast, be original and beat the clock in NameIt, a modern version of the classic pen-and-paper Categories game.
Every round starts with a letter. Fill categories such as Name, Animal, Place and Thing before time runs out. An answer nobody else chose earns more points than a shared answer, so creativity matters just as much as speed. When the round ends, players review and vote on disputed answers together.
PLAY ONLINE WITH FRIENDS
Create a private room and share the invite, or join a public room to play with people online. Keep the classic categories or create custom categories for your group.
PLAY SOLO AGAINST AI
Challenge three AI opponents with different difficulty levels: Kafi, Kosi and Kemi. Play a quick five-round match or test yourself across the complete 26-round A–Z challenge.
KEEP EVERY GAME FRESH
Special Rounds introduce surprise twists such as double points and penalties. Win matches, maintain a streak, earn coins and climb the leaderboard while unlocking more ways to play.
Whether it is game night, a quick brain challenge or a nostalgic return to a childhood favourite, NameIt turns the classic categories game into a fast online experience.
