Shout your guess, tap Reveal, mark it right or wrong and see your score after ten clues. It is the group quiz that needs no quizmaster — put it on the TV and let the room argue.

Movie clues stick to famous, family-friendly titles; the Sayings category is a lovely one for language learners.

Guess the Emoji FAQ

How is this different from the Emoji Quiz?

The Emoji Quiz is a multiple-choice movie quiz you answer on the phone. Guess the Emoji is a reveal-style group game with five categories — you shout answers out loud and the host taps Reveal.

Are the movie answers spoilers?

No — clues hint at the title, never the plot.

Can I play with a mixed set?

Yes, choose Mixed to shuffle all five categories together.

How many prompts does Guess the Emoji have?

Hundreds, hand-written and shuffled so replays feel new. Every category is family-safe unless labelled otherwise.

Can we play in teams?

Yes — enter team names instead of players and the game keeps a team scoreboard.
