How we built it.
Unspeakabl is designed around the pace of a room full of people: set up teams, give clues against the clock, hand over the phone and keep the score moving.
The phone has a role between turns too
The game flow includes team setup, pack selection, a get-ready countdown, the active turn, a handover screen and final results. Correct, Skip and Taboo actions record what happened during play. The handover gives the next team a clear starting point, while turn and game summaries bring the scores back into view.
Cards are structured game content
Each card stores a target word, forbidden words, category and difficulty. The deck can therefore support themed packs and card selection rules instead of treating every prompt as a disconnected text image. Timer state, teams, scoring and unlocks sit in a shared game context, so screens work from the same active game.
A mobile game that remembers its settings
Expo and React Native provide the iPhone and Android application. React Navigation manages the sequence of screens, and AsyncStorage keeps settings and local game statistics. Haptics support feedback for actions during a turn. The implementation also contains native purchase and advertising integrations, with pack and pass choices explained in the game’s own screens.
