Same names. New rules.
It starts easy.
It does not stay that way.

The short version
Questions before the first round?
Celebrity is easy to start and gets delightfully difficult from there. Here are the answers most new players need.
What is Celebrity?
Celebrity is a one-phone party guessing game for iPhone and iPad. Players split into two to four teams and pass the phone around the room.
How do the three rounds work?
Every name returns in all three rounds. First you can describe it without using the name, then you get one word, and finally you must act it out without talking.
Can I play Celebrity for free?
Yes. Celebrity includes a complete 100-film deck, four sample decks, the Ultimate Round and unlimited hand-written custom lists. Optional category packs are one-off purchases, not subscriptions.
Does Celebrity need an account or internet connection?
No account is required, and core play works offline. The app has no adverts, analytics or trackers. Buying or restoring an optional pack still requires Apple's App Store.
Just the game
