We’re here to help
Our games are available across all mobile and tablet devices, PC and Nintendo Switch. We have a comprehensive FAQ that should answer all of your technical questions, so we always advise you to look here first before submitting a support request.
All Games & All Platforms
General
- Can the game be shared via Family Library or Family Sharing?
Yes, all of our games support this feature. For more information on how to set this up, please visit the links below.
Apple App Store and Family Sharing – https://support.apple.com/HT201088
Google Play Store and Family Library – https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/7007852 - The game tells me to update but no update is available when I go to the store.
If no update is appearing on the store, first ensure that you have set your apps to update automatically. If this is already the case, try manually refreshing the store for updates. If still no update is available, please try again later – sometimes it can take up to 24 hours for updates to reach all app stores around the world.
For further information and troubleshooting steps please check the links below:
Apple App Store – https://support.apple.com/HT202180
Google Play – https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/113412 - Why does the game request access to my storage and photos on installation?
The game needs this in order to finish the download, which would not be possible unless the extra installation files could be saved to your device. We don’t view, use or store your phone’s data anywhere.
Android
- My previously purchased content is locked!
If you are using an Android device, please do the following:
1. Make sure that you are using the exact same Google account used to purchase the in-app content
2. Make a note of your exact purchases by checking your Google Play order history. It is particularly important to note whether you purchased individual Commanders or Arenas, Packs or Bundles or the Super Collection
3. Open BATTLESHIP, navigate to the Shop and tap the “buy” button located right by the content you previously purchased. This will force a connection to the Google Play Store and unlock the content without charging you again.
Please make sure to only attempt to unlock the exact content that you own. If you purchased the Super Collection or one of the Bundles/Packs do not try to unlock the Commanders/Arenas one by one or Google will charge you. - What is the Season Pass? / What are the Worlds?
THE GAME OF LIFE features in-app content in the form of “Worlds”, which grant access to visually different boards, vehicles and avatars. This is much like how you can buy the classic physical tabletop THE GAME OF LIFE board-game or the THE GAME OF LIFE Simpsons edition.
- Why are there in-app purchases in the game?
The in-app purchases are simply cosmetic – the game can still be fully enjoyed without making any additional purchases.
We understand that some players do not like the concept of further purchases in a paid game. However, the majority of our players appreciate the opportunity to change-up their experience with different aesthetics.
Each “World” is created by a team of talented artists who delight in dreaming up beautiful new settings for our players.
Our goal is to offer more choice to our players while still making it a choice. If we were to price THE GAME OF LIFE based on the total number of extra development hours that were put into the themes, it would go well above its current sale price, and that wouldn’t be fair to the players who simply want the classic experience. - Can you choose the number of players in Play Online?
No, but on the Player Selection screen you can say that you are “ready” to begin the match after one or two players have been matched with you, which increases your chances of starting the game with that number of players.
- In Local Play and Play Online, do you always have to choose the maximum number of players?
No, you can choose to begin the game as soon as you have 2 players, which can be you and a friend or family member, or yourself and an AI.
- What is the maximum number of players?
The maximum number of players is 4.
- Why am I getting an “Invalid Code” warning when trying to Play with Friends?
Please make sure that all players have the latest version of the game installed before trying to play together. You can check which version you are running on the game’s Settings menu.

- Why is the game not showing up in my Family Library?
All of our games are eligible for the Family Library, but in order for them to appear in the family group they must be purchased from the family group and using the family payment method.
For more information you should contact a Google representative since they created the Family Library and its features. You can also find some more details regarding the Family Library in the following Google Play Help URL: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/7007852 - I was overcharged for the game on Google Play
All billing-related problems should be taken up directly with Google as they stem from a problem with their platform.
We merely put our games on the store. Google manages their sales and financial transactions. For this reason, we highly recommend that you get in touch with Google, requesting an explanation as to why exactly you were overcharged for the game.
You can also submit a refund request to Google form here
If you require further assistance, feel free to use our contact form! - Can I get a refund? I bought the game from Google Play
Has it been less than 48 hours since your purchase? If so you can request a refund directly through Google Play by following the instructions in the link below:
https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637
If it has been over 48 hours, you can send us a refund request via our contact form. Your request will be reviewed and a decision will be made as per our own internal policies. Please include the following details:– Order number (GPA) of your purchase. This can be found in the confirmation email sent to you by Google upon making the purchase. If you can no longer find the email, please follow the instructions in this Google Store Help article – https://support.google.com/store/answer/6160235
– Reason for the refund. Please be as detailed as possible! - Can I see a full list of the Topic words included in the themed decks?
Not a full list, to prevent spoilers, but you can find a few examples in the Shop.
- Which languages are available in-game?
Taboo is playable in:
- English-UK
- English-US
- German
- French
- Italian
- Spanish
- Turkish
- How do themed decks work in multiple-device matches?
In Online Video Mode, each player chooses their own deck at the start of the game and that deck will be drawn from when that player is the Clue Giver. If a player chooses the Celebrities deck, when they are the Clue Giver all of their cards that turn will be from the Celebrities deck. Everyone else will see those cards, but no-one else will be able to draw cards from the Celebrities deck unless they have also chosen it at the start.
In Local Party Mode, the host selects the deck that all players will use.
- Do I have to register with Bubble in order to play?
Only if you want to play Taboo versus friends or family who are not in the same room as you, via the Online Video Mode.
Local Party Mode does not require a Bubble registration. - Do I have to purchase more decks in order to enjoy Taboo?
No. The base game includes 500 cards so you absolutely do not need to purchase any more decks from the in-game store in order to enjoy Taboo!
- What is the maximum number of players?
6 players in Online Video Mode.
Unlimited players in Local Party Mode. You can choose the number of turns per game, however, and the maximum is 20, so if you want everyone to have a turn as Clue Giver the maximum player count would be 10 players per team. - Does Taboo feature cross-platform play?
Yes! All of our games feature cross-platform play, Taboo included.
- Where can I find my Google Play Store receipt? What is the order number (GPA)?
When you make a purchase on the Google Play Store, Google sends you a confirmation email that can be used as a receipt. The order number (GPA) can be found in this receipt.
If you can no longer find the email, please follow the instructions in the following Google Store Help article:

Unfortunately not. If you have purchased the app on one platform, you must purchase it again if you want to play it on the other platform. This isn’t something we can control, as each platform is its own distribution service and won’t accept transfer from others.
- Can in-app purchases be shared via Family Library?
No. This is due to restrictions put in place by Google – core apps can be shared but in-app purchases cannot.
