Description
Shabaka is a bilingual party word game for in-person play. Split into two teams, give one-word clues, and race to uncover your team's hidden words on a shared board, but watch out for the Black Hole.
PLAY ANYWHERE PEOPLE GATHER
Built for the majlis, the living room, the diwaniya, or the coffee shop. Everyone plays on their own phone, no board game box needed. The host creates a room, shares a 4-letter code, and the party begins.
HOW IT WORKS
Two teams (Pink and Blue) compete across a 4×6 word grid
Each team's Captain sees which words belong to which team
The Captain gives a one-word clue and a number, linking hidden words together
The Crew discusses, debates, and taps to reveal tiles one at a time
Correct guess? Keep going. Wrong team's word? Turn over. The Black Hole? Instant loss.
Best of 3 rounds wins the game
FULLY BILINGUAL
Switch between English and Arabic at any time. The entire UI and game words flips to Arabic. Two separate word banks with relevant vocabulary.
ONE HOST PAYS, EVERYONE ELSE JOINS FREE
The host buys a game pass, creates the room, and shares the code. Every other player joins for free. Stock up with multi-packs to save up to 43%.
