Emoji Story Guess
A giant emoji row hides a movie, book, or phrase. Reveal a category hint if the table is stuck, then flip the card to check the answer. Add your own riddles for custom rounds.

How to play
- Read the emoji row and shout your guess as a group.
- Tap Show Category Hint if the table is stuck — it reveals a category, never the answer.
- Tap Reveal Answer to confirm the guess and trigger the celebration.
- Tap Next Riddle to draw a new one, or switch to Custom Riddles to add your own.
Emoji Story Guess turns any group into charades players without anyone having to draw a thing. A built-in bank of more than 60 family-safe riddles spanning movies, books, songs, and everyday phrases shows up one at a time as a giant row of emoji. The table shouts guesses, and if everyone's stuck, tap Show Category Hint for a nudge like Movie or Phrase without giving away the answer itself. Once someone nails it — or the group gives up — tap Reveal Answer for a confetti-and-fanfare confirmation. Switch to Custom Riddles mode to build your own deck for inside jokes or a themed party round, and the app shuffles through your bank the same no-repeat way as the built-in one.
Frequently asked questions
- Can the answer leak before we tap Reveal?
- No — the answer text is never written anywhere in the page until Reveal Answer is tapped. Only the emoji and, if requested, the category name are shown beforehand.
- Will riddles repeat before I've seen the whole deck?
- No. Riddles draw from a shuffled deck that only reshuffles once every riddle has been shown once, so you won't see a repeat until the full bank has been used.
- Can I make a custom deck for my own party theme?
- Yes — switch to the Custom Riddles tab, type an emoji sequence, its answer, and an optional category, then tap Add Riddle. Your custom deck shuffles the same way as the built-in bank.
