Reveal Friends: A Live Online Picture Guessing Game for English Learners
Reveal Friends is the multiplayer version of our Reveal game. You play live against other English learners from around the world. A picture is slowly uncovered, hexagon by hexagon, and everyone races to click the right English word. Guess sooner and you score more. Get it first and you win a bonus, and the picture opens for everyone else too.
How to Play
- Step 1: Pick a name and flag – You get a fun name to start with, like "Blue Fox 42". You can change it, and you can choose your country's flag. You don't need to sign up or log in.
- Step 2: Join a game – You go straight into a room with up to four other players. If a round has already started, you watch it and then play from the next picture.
- Step 3: Watch the picture appear – The hexagons come off one at a time. Read the word options and click the one that matches as soon as you're sure.
- Step 4: Be quick, but be right – Every correct answer scores. The fewer hexagons that have gone, the more points you get, and the first correct answer earns an extra bonus. When someone gets it right, the whole picture opens and everyone else gets a moment to answer.
- Step 5: See who wins – Each set has eight pictures. At the end, the scores screen shows the winner, and then the next set starts automatically.
Game Features
- Live games with up to four other players.

- A live leaderboard shows everyone's name, flag and score.
- Over 30 picture sets, including animals, food, clothes and everyday objects.
- Each set starts with easier words before the harder ones.
- Every picture links the English word directly to its meaning.
Safe for the Classroom
There is no chat in Reveal Friends. Players can see only each other's names, flags and scores. Names are checked and rude words are blocked, and nobody needs to create an account or enter any personal information. This makes it a simple, low-risk way for students to enjoy playing English games with other learners.
Why Teachers Use Reveal Friends
Playing against real people makes vocabulary practice exciting. Students look closely, think in English and answer fast, without translating from their own language. Because every correct answer scores, slower learners still earn points, while quick students chase the first-answer bonus. It's a great warm-up, a reward at the end of a lesson, or something fun to play at home.
