Games to play with friends on one phone
The best one-phone games are turn-based, so you just pass the phone: Ludo for 2–4 players, Tic Tac Toe for two, and Truth or Dare for any group, with spin-the-bottle to pick who's next. Game Night bundles all of them free on Android, playable with no internet and no accounts.

1. Ludo (2–4 players, 20–40 minutes)
The classic race game. On one phone the board rotates to each player's corner and the app enforces the rules, so nobody argues about sixes. Turn the timer off so you can hand the phone around. How Ludo works in Game Night.
2. Tic Tac Toe (2 players, 1 minute)
Quick and fair. Bigger boards (4×4, 5×5 with four in a row) stop it ending in a draw every time.
3. Truth or Dare (3+ players)
Pick a pack that fits the youngest player. Try the free Truth or Dare generator in your browser.
4. Spin the bottle / wheel of names (any group)
Decide who goes first, who picks the movie, or who washes up — fairly.
5. Dice games (any group)
Highest roll wins, first to 100, or any board game that lost its dice — use the online dice roller.
6. Charades (4+ players)
Heads Up! is the best-known app for this — phone on the forehead, friends shout clues. It's not in Game Night.
Got two or more phones but no internet?
Game Night's Bluetooth and same-Wi-Fi rooms connect phones directly, so each player uses their own screen. See how multiplayer works.
