Story

Missing Link is a local multiplayer party game where two teams battle to complete their word chain first by submitting clever one-word clues for their teammates. How it works: Each round, one player becomes the clue giver and secretly gets a few target words on the board. They have one shot, a single word to steer their teammates to the right answers. Guess a green link and you score. Guess a red one and you lose points. The clue-giver role rotates throughout the game, so everyone gets a turn in the hot seat. Your TV or monitor is the shared board. Everyone joins from their own phone by scanning a QR code. Features Team word battle : first team to finish their chain wins (4 - 10 players) Play on your phones : one computer hosts the game, everyone joins by QR code on their phone. No extra downloads or accounts. Just grab a group and play. T hree difficulty modes : Easy, Medium, and a Hard mode packed with different effects like hidden vowels, reversed words, locked tiles, and reduced time. Tune the tension : Set 1, 2, or 3-minute turns depending on how fast your crowd wants the game to go. Perfect for parties, game nights, and anyone who loves a good word game.
