FAQ

Is Empty Head free to play?
Yes. Empty Head is free to play in your phone's browser, with no app and no account. It may show ads on its info pages, never during a game.
How do you play guess the character with friends online?
One phone creates a room and everyone else joins with the 4-letter code. Each player gets a secret character that everyone else can see. On your turn, ask one yes/no question, then guess one exact name or skip. The others vote on your guess.
Do I need an app or an account?
No. Empty Head runs in your phone's browser. Type a name and you're in.
How many players?
2 to 10. Three or more is best.
Is there voice chat or a timer?
No voice chat: talk in person or on whatever call your group already uses. The host can turn on a turn timer (30 to 120 seconds) in Settings.
Can someone peek at my card?
No. Your phone never receives your own card until it's revealed, so there's nothing to peek at.
What if my phone locks or the page refreshes?
Open the room link again and you rejoin your seat with the same card.
What categories are there?
Nine decks you can mix: video games, movies, TV, anime, comics, books, brand mascots, famous people and sports, plus optional theme rounds.
Is this Heads Up or Hedbanz?
No. Empty Head is an original game by Cooked Games and isn't affiliated with Heads Up! or Hedbanz.
How do I get a picture removed?
Email cookedgames@proton.me with the character name and the picture's page. We remove it and show that card by name only.
