Ask someone in the group for its 6-character invite code. In Couch Buddies, tap Join with code, type the code and tap Join. You’ll see the group, its games and scores straight away.

Tap Create group, give it a name, then share the group’s invite code with the people you want to play with. Anyone with the code can join, so share it only with people you know.

Yes — that’s the fun of it. Every player uses their own iPhone with Couch Buddies installed, whether you’re on the same couch or in different cities.

No. You just pick a name and make your Couch Buddy. Your iPhone remembers you with a private sign-in token.

Open Settings in the app. You can edit your name and rebuild your buddy whenever you like.

Check that notifications are on for Couch Buddies in your iPhone’s Settings → Notifications, and in the notification options in the app’s Settings. Focus modes can also hold notifications back.

Open the group and choose Leave group. If you’re the last one in it, the group and all its games and scores are deleted.

Open Settings in the app and choose Delete account. This deletes your profile and removes you from all your groups. If you’d also like everything you created in games (drawings, answers and scores) erased, email us and we’ll do it within 30 days. See the privacy policy for details.

Yes. There are no ads, no tracking and no chatting with strangers — groups are private and joined only by invite code. We suggest a grown-up sets it up for young children.
