Nome Terra is the word game everyone knows, now on the phone and made to be played together.
A random letter comes up. Everyone writes a word starting with that letter in each category: name, country, city, animal, fruit, food, job and many more. Whoever finishes first hits STOP. At the end, the group goes through everyone's answers and decides what counts.
THREE WAYS TO PLAY
On one phone: pass the phone around, each person on their turn. Between turns a waiting screen comes up, so nobody sees the answers of the person before.
One phone each: everyone connects to the same Wi-Fi network, or to the hotspot of one of you, and you all play at the same time. No internet needed, no mobile data, no credit. Whoever opens the room plays too.
Against the computer: with nobody around, play on your own against Terra, the game mascot. There are three levels, and Terra writes real words without ever seeing yours.
HOW THE POINTS WORK
Ten points if you were the only one to write that word. If two people wrote the same, it is five each. Accents and capitals do not count, so "Café" and "cafe" are the same answer.
And when someone writes "banana" and someone else writes "bananas"? The game notices on its own and asks the group whether it is the same word. If it is, the points are split. You can also join two answers by hand, at any moment.
MADE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
Big letters, strong colours and cheerful drawings. Eighteen faces to pick as your avatar. Two songs to choose from, African rhythm or happy pop, that you can turn off, and sounds you can mute.
Solo or up to 12 players. Time from 30 seconds to 3 minutes. From 1 to 10 rounds. You can pick the categories by hand or let the game draw them.
PORTUGUESE AND ENGLISH
The whole game speaks both languages. It follows the phone language on its own, and in Settings you can choose Portuguese or English at any time.
NO INTERNET, NO ACCOUNTS
Nothing to sign up for, no e-mail to give, no odd permissions. Everything the game keeps stays inside the phone: your name, your avatar, the game in progress and the history.
FIFTEEN CATEGORIES ALWAYS OPEN, 95 IN TOTAL
Name, country, city, animal, fruit, food, drink, colour, object, school supplies, clothing item, job, sport, song and film or series. The others unlock for 30 minutes with coins or by watching an ad: capital cities, rivers, mountains, flowers, birds, transport, landmarks and many more, plus packs for Mozambique, football, music, the Bible, school and soap operas.
COINS AND YOUR OWN CATEGORIES
You earn coins by finishing games, with the daily prize, which grows with days in a row, and by watching ads. Use them to unlock categories, to play with more people and to create your own categories, with any name you like. Coins are never bought with money and never give anyone points.
DAILY CHALLENGE
Every day there is a new challenge: one round against Terra, with the same letter and the same categories for everyone. Do your best, share your score and see if your friends can beat it.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND STATS
Thirty achievements to earn, each with a coin prize: your first win against Terra, a perfect round, the word only you thought of, a whole month of days in a row and many more. Your Profile shows your games, wins, correct words and best score.
MORE EXCITEMENT IN EVERY ROUND
A buzzer on STOP, a clock that speeds up in the last seconds, points climbing on the scoreboard and a fanfare at the end. Terra reacts to every round: happy, surprised or sad. At the end you see the game highlights, and with one tap you share the result with your friends on WhatsApp.
