Play Alias Online
A team word game where one player describes secret words and the team races to guess as many as possible.
Alias needs at least 4 players and has no bots — it's a group game. Gather your crew before creating a lobby, or warm up with a bot-ready game like Yahtzee or Connect Four.
Can you play Alias online with a group for free?
Yes, with four to sixteen people and no bots – Alias is teams talking to each other, so the room needs real players. One teammate describes the word without saying it, the others guess against the clock, a skip costs a point, and the higher score wins.
