Looking for Alias? You're in the right place. Alias is the legendary party word game where you describe a word without saying it while your team races to guess — and with Bardak, you can play Alias on your phone, free, in under a minute. Here's everything you need to start playing today.
What is Alias?
Alias is a team-based word game. Players split into teams; one person describes the words on the screen using hints and synonyms, and teammates try to guess as many as possible before the timer runs out. The only rule: never say the word itself. It's simple, fast, and one of the most fun games you can play with friends or family.
