FAQ

Is Bawaal really free?

Haan, ekdum free. No login, no install, no card details. Open bawaal.app/play and play.

Do I need to download an app?

No. It runs in Chrome or Safari on any phone. For an app icon, use "Add to Home Screen". On Android you can also install Bawaal from Google Play, and the iPhone app is in beta: see the Bawaal app.

How many people can play?

Most groups start with 3 to 16+ players. Limits vary by game: Sar Pe Phone starts at 3, Chor Kaun? supports 3 to 24, and Aamne Saamne supports 4 to 16. Check the game tile for its group size.

What language are the cards in?

They're written for Indian rooms: Indian English, with Hinglish game names and host lines. Hindi and English only for now. South blockbusters everyone has watched in Hindi dub, like Baahubali, KGF, Pushpa and RRR, are very much in.

Will we get the same card twice?

Not on the same night. Bawaal remembers what you've played on your phone and keeps the deck fresh.

Does it work without internet?

Once a game has loaded, a Wi-Fi drop won't stop the party. You need internet for the first load.

Do you collect my data?

Very little, and never your names or cards. There are no accounts and no ad trackers, and your settings, player names and played cards stay on your device. The iPhone and Android apps send anonymous crash reports so we can fix bugs (switch them off in Settings › Privacy). Usage sharing, a count of app opens and finished rounds, is off unless you turn it on. Read the privacy policy.

Can I suggest a deck or report a card?

Please do. Mail contact.techfusionlab@gmail.com. If a card is wrong or not okay, tell us and we'll fix it fast.
