Emoji Decode: how to play

🧩 Emoji Decode: 1 to 8 players.

How it works

The TV shows a little string of emoji that stands for a saying, a food, a place or an everyday thing. Type what you think it means. You can guess as many times as you like in 30 seconds, and the quicker you crack it the more you score. The first letter is revealed at half time. Eight puzzles per game.
