What is Alias?
Alias is one of the most popular party word games in the world. One player describes words to their teammates without saying the word itself, synonyms, or translations — and the more words you get right in the allotted time, the better.
Mishko is the free digital version: words appear on your phone, the timer runs automatically, and scores are tracked for you. No cards. No pencils. Play anywhere.
