Then the sentences travel around the table at the same time. The next player sees only the sentence and must translate it into 2 to 10 emoji. The player after that sees only the emoji and writes what they think the sentence was. Words, emoji, words, emoji, until each chain has gone through up to six people. With N players there are N chains running at once, so nobody sits waiting for a turn.\n\nThe rotation makes sure nobody sees their own sentence mid-game and nobody handles the same chain twice. Emoji answers are checked for real emoji only (flags, skin tones and joined emoji like families count as one each).\n\nThen the reveal: the host steps through the chains one at a time, each shown as a ladder from the original sentence to the final guess with every player's name on their step. Everyone votes for the best moment of drift on each chain, and each vote is a point. The final card shows the scoreboard, the most faithful chain (the most original words that survived) and the wildest drift.\n\nFor 3 to 12 players. The host can pick shorter chains for a quick round and skip a player who wandered off. Games are private rooms with a 4-letter code that expire after 12 hours.", "category": "Entertainment", "defaultPrompt": [ "Start an Emoji Telephone game, I'm Dana", "Join Emoji Telephone game KXQF as Sam", "How do I play telephone with emoji with my friends?" ], "capabilities": [ "Multiplayer telephone where every other step is emoji only", "Every player starts a chain, so all chains run at once", "Suggest-one deck of original movie plots, headlines and mottos", "Real emoji checking: 2 to 10 emoji, no letters or numbers", "Step-by-step reveal ladders with drift votes and points", "Most faithful chain and wildest drift on the final card" ], "logo": "https://games-worker.demos.42a.ai/emoji-telephone/icon.svg", "websiteURL": "https://games-worker.demos.42a.ai/emoji-telephone/", "supportURL": "https://games-worker.demos.42a.ai/support", "privacyPolicyURL": "https://games-worker.demos.42a.ai/privacy", "termsOfServiceURL": "https://games-worker.demos.42a.ai/terms", "developerName": "42a" }, "keywords": [ "emoji telephone", "telephone game with emoji", "emoji party game", "broken telephone game online", "emoji translation game", "guess the emoji game with friends", "multiplayer emoji game", "drawing telephone with emoji" ], "tools": [ { "name": "start_emoji_telephone", "title": "Start Emoji Telephone", "annotations": { "readOnlyHint": false, "destructiveHint": false, "openWorldHint": false } }, { "name": "join_emoji_telephone", "title": "Join Emoji Telephone", "annotations": { "readOnlyHint": false, "destructiveHint": false, "openWorldHint": false } }, { "name": "emoji_telephone_status", "title": "Emoji Telephone Status", "annotations": { "readOnlyHint": true, "destructiveHint": false, "openWorldHint": false, "idempotentHint": true } }, { "name": "submit_emoji_telephone", "title": "Submit Emoji Telephone Step", "annotations": { "readOnlyHint": false, "destructiveHint": false, "openWorldHint": false } }, { "name": "emoji_telephone_action", "title": "Emoji Telephone Action", "annotations": { "readOnlyHint": false, "destructiveHint": false, "openWorldHint": false } } ], "dataSources": [], "review": { "positiveTestCases": [ { "description": "Host starts a game", "prompt": "Start an Emoji Telephone game, I'm Dana", "tools_triggered": [ "start_emoji_telephone" ], "expected_behavior": "A lobby card with a 4-letter code, the join link, Dana as host, and her player key." }, { "description": "A friend joins by code", "prompt": "Join Huddle Emoji Telephone game DEMO as Riley", "tools_triggered": [ "join_emoji_telephone" ], "expected_behavior": "Riley is seated (4 players) with their own key; the card waits for Dana to start." }, { "description": "A player asks what to do mid-game", "prompt": "What do I do now in emoji telephone?
