Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Cypher is a great game that is inspired by code words. We find it actually easier to play with two phones than it is with the board. The game is designed well and very intuitive. Props to the developer for making multiplayer so easy. We highly recommend cypher for your next party.
Would like join codes for multiple devices not connected to internet. Would like custom word banks. Also had a problem with iPad and iPhone on newest version with iPhone being the host and iPad not being able to select words.
Very thoughtfully designed. Hope the designer tackles the two player version of the game next.
Cant find the host game on the other persons phone.
We played this with our roommate and its just like the Codenames board game! Looking forward to taking this on the road.
