About This Game

What to know before you dive in

Intro

Welcome to Emoji Decoder — the party game where a handful of tiny pictures can mean absolutely anything. A pizza, a heart and a crying face? That could be a love story. It could be a tragedy. It could be Tuesday.

How This Game Works

Each round, a random set of emojis lands on every screen. Everyone secretly writes a short caption for what they think the emojis mean — the funnier, stranger or more dramatic the better. Once the captions are in, they show up with no names attached and the group votes for their favorite interpretation. You can't vote for your own.

Scoring

You earn points for every vote your caption collects. If the whole room agrees on yours, you get a bonus on top. After the votes, the captions are revealed with their authors, ranked from most to least loved.
