Thumbs, the Two Thumbs mascot: a round mango buddy giving two thumbs up

Game night for two · couples, best friends, roommates

Game night in seconds, anywhere.

Put one iPhone between you and it runs the game. It explains the rules, keeps the secrets and keeps score, so you two play together instead of scrolling apart.

Two people, one couch, two feeds.

Put the feeds down for a round of Mixed games. The phone asks how many keys a piano has. You each drag a slider to guess, and the closer guess takes the point. The answer is 88. After 16 rounds, about 20 minutes, the final score shows who won, and the game ends.

Who's playing tonight?

Date night

You and your person, after dinner or already in bed.

  • Bottle spin: a bottle on the screen spins and lands on trivia or on a question like "Pizza topping for life?" One of you answers, and the other guesses what they said.
  • Mixed games has you guess, bet and try to pick the same answer, 16 rounds in about 20 minutes.
  • Escape room is for the nights you want to solve something as a team.
Best friends

Road trips once the playlist runs out, rainy Sundays and the roommate on the other end of the couch.

  • Seven head-to-head classics, like Four in a row and Dots and boxes. First to three games wins, then the trash talk and the rematch.
  • Trivia night and Case file, solved as a team.
  • Tap a name to swap who's playing, so another friend can take a turn on your phone.
  • Both on iPhones? Pair them once with a 4-digit code and play the classics each on your own phone, free.

The questions work for any two people, from "Pick the best road-trip snack" to "How many bones are in an adult human body?"

Works at 35,000 feet

Every game runs in Airplane Mode, with no account to make and no Wi-Fi to find. Take it on a flight or to a cabin with no signal. Every level that comes with the app is on your phone from the first launch. New monthly levels download the next time you're online.

One phone or two

Share one phone with a thumb on each pad. If you both have iPhones, pair them once with a 4-digit code, and Mixed games and all seven classics play across both over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, with no internet.

Built for exactly two.

Good fit

  • Two people in the same room, or in the same row on a plane.
  • Ten minutes before bed, or a whole evening.
  • Pairs who like keeping score, or solving something as a team.

Not a fit

  • Three or more players. Every game is built for exactly two.
  • Android. Two Thumbs is iPhone only and needs iOS 17 or later.
  • Playing from different cities. Paired phones talk over Bluetooth or local Wi-Fi, so they have to be close.
  • Love scores or relationship advice. There are none, on purpose.

Questions before you play

How do we join the beta?

Open the beta link on your iPhone. It takes you to TestFlight, Apple's app for testing new apps, where you install TestFlight and then tap Install on Two Thumbs.

Is it a couples app?

It's for any two people who are close: couples, best friends, roommates. The questions are things like "Pick a superpower," and nothing scores your relationship.

Do we both need the app?

No, one phone is enough for every game. Put it on both phones only when you want to play on two.

Does it need the internet?

No. You need it only to buy, to restore a purchase and to download new levels.

Where do our names and answers go?

They stay on your phone. There's no account, no ads and no tracking. The privacy policy has the details.

Something broke. Who do we tell?

Write to arun@recmend.com and a person reads it, or check the support page first.

Lamps on. Game on.

The beta is free. After launch, the classics, Mixed games and Bottle spin stay free, on one phone or two.
