The forehead guessing game that films the fun.
Nod Squad turns any get-together into game night. Hold the phone to your forehead, screen facing your friends. They shout clues, act it out, and try not to say the word. Nod down when you get it. Tip up to pass. Beat the clock and rack up points!
THE BEST PART: REACTION CLIPS
While you guess, the front camera films your friends' faces. When time's up you get an instant replay of every frantic clue, wild gesture and belly laugh. Watch it together, save it to Photos, or share it with the family group chat. Clips are stored on your phone. We never upload them, and you decide whether to save or share them.
MADE FOR THE HOLIDAYS
