Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about PartyBrain. Can't find your answer? Contact support.

Getting Started

How do I start a game?

Download PartyBrain, tap 'Create Game', and share the 4-letter room code with your friends. They join by entering the code on their own phones.

Do my friends need accounts to play?

No! Guests can join with just a room code and a display name — no sign-up required. Guest players are locked to the Family content filter.

What devices does PartyBrain work on?

PartyBrain is available on iOS and Android. Each player uses their own phone. There's no web-based play — the app is required.

How many players can join?

Free games support 2-6 players (plus AI). Premium games support up to 12 players (plus AI). The AI is always an additional participant.

How do room codes work?

Room codes are 4-letter codes using only consonants (no vowels). They're case-insensitive and expire after 24 hours or when the host ends the game.

Gameplay

What game modes are available?

Five modes: Human or Machine (spot the AI), Countdown Clash (speed trivia), Pulse Check (predict the group), Quick Draw (creative battles), and Flip It (word puzzles). Free players get the first two modes.

How does the AI actually play?

Our AI is a real participant — it submits answers, competes for points, and has its own score (Machine Score). Each mode gives it a different role, from undercover agent to puzzle master.

Can the AI cheat?

The AI plays by the same rules as everyone else. In trivia, it can get questions wrong. In creative modes, the group votes on AI responses just like human ones. Its cumulative Machine Score is visible to everyone.

What are content filters?

Three levels: Family (clean fun for all ages), Adult (slightly edgier prompts), and Spicy (premium-only, maximum chaos). The host's premium tier determines available filters. Guests are always locked to Family.

What happens if someone disconnects?

The game continues. Disconnected players auto-submit blank answers and score 0 for missed rounds. If they reconnect, they rejoin where the game is. If the host disconnects, hosting transfers to the next player.

Premium

What do I get with premium?

Access to all 5 game modes (free players get 2), up to 12 players per room (free is capped at 6), and Adult/Spicy content filters. Only the host needs premium — everyone in the room benefits.

What is the Party Pass?

A one-time $1.99 purchase that unlocks everything for 24 hours. Perfect for a game night. No subscription required.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes, anytime through your Apple App Store or Google Play subscription settings. You'll keep premium access until the end of your current billing period.

Does everyone in the room need premium?

No! Only the host needs premium. The host's tier determines which modes and features are available for the entire room. Guests play for free.

Can I restore my purchases on a new device?

Yes. Sign in with the same account and tap 'Restore Purchases' in Settings. Your subscription is tied to your Apple ID or Google account.

Privacy & Safety

What data does PartyBrain collect?

Display names, game answers, scores, and basic device info for crash reporting. Game answers are sent to the AI for processing but are NOT used to train AI models. See our full Privacy Policy for details.

Is there a minimum age to play?

You must be 13 or older to create an account. Guests (no account) can play with the Family content filter only. We don't knowingly collect data from children under 13.

How do I delete my account?

Go to Settings → Account → Delete Account. This permanently removes your profile, game history, and all associated data within 30 days.

Can I report inappropriate content?

Yes. Long-press any answer or prompt to report it. Reports are reviewed within 24 hours. Players who violate our community guidelines may be suspended.

Technical

The app is stuck loading. What do I do?

Force-close the app and reopen it. If the issue persists, check your internet connection — PartyBrain requires an active connection for real-time gameplay.

My room code isn't working.

Room codes expire after 24 hours. Make sure you're entering the code exactly as shown (codes use consonants only, no vowels). Ask the host to verify the code.

I'm getting disconnected during games.

PartyBrain uses WebSocket connections for real-time play. Weak or unstable Wi-Fi can cause disconnects. Try switching to mobile data or moving closer to your router.
