Acrophobia offers several ways to find and join games.

​
Quick Play

The fastest way to start playing. Tap Quick Play and you’ll be automatically matched with other players looking for a game.
  • Games fill up to 7 players (or the host’s max player setting)
  • If 3 or more players are waiting after 30 seconds, the game starts automatically
  • Empty slots are filled with AI bots if “Fill with Bots” is enabled

​
Create Room (Private)

Host your own game with custom settings. When you create a room, you get a 4-6 character room code that you can share with friends.
  • Customize all game settings — rounds, timers, letter count, categories, and more
  • Choose whether to make the room public (visible in the Game Lobby) or private (invite-only)
  • Set a custom room name so friends can identify your game
  • Choose which AI bots to include

​
Join Room

Have a room code from a friend? Tap Join Room and enter the code to jump straight into their game.

​
Game Lobby

Browse open games in the Game Lobby. Two tabs let you find the right game:
TabWhat it shows
NewPublic rooms that are waiting for players and haven’t started yet
ActiveGames currently in progress that allow mid-game joining
You can also browse online players to see who’s available to play.

​
Offline Mode

No internet? No problem. Offline Mode lets you play solo against local AI bots with no connection required. It’s a great way to practice your acronym skills or play on the go.
Offline games don’t count toward your leaderboard score or stats since they aren’t connected to the server.

​
Spectator Mode

Want to watch a game without playing? Join as a spectator to observe the action. You’ll see all submissions and votes in real-time without participating.

​
Mid-Game Joining

If a game is already in progress and Allow Mid-Game Join is enabled, you can join late. You’ll enter as a spectator for the current round and start playing from the next round onward.
