What is Zayac?
Zayac is a mobile social party game by DigitalTouch. Everyone except one player knows the secret word. The one who doesn’t is the Hare. The group says associations out loud, votes, and tries to catch them.
Frequently asked questions
How many people can play?
From 3 to 12 players. Each person needs their own phone with the app.
Do you need a host?
You don’t need a dedicated host with a printed rulebook. One player creates the room and starts phases, but the app deals roles and words.
Is registration required?
Yes. Sign in with Apple or Google and set a display name if needed. There is no separate email sign-up.
Do we need to be in the same place?
Yes. The game is designed for one room: associations are spoken out loud, and there is no in-app chat.
Can we play remotely?
Zayac does not replace a voice chat and is not meant for video calls. If the group is not sitting together, the round loses its point: you miss live reactions and shared-space associations.
How do I join a game?
Scan the QR code on the creator’s screen, enter the short room code, or open an invite link. If the app is already installed, the link can open it directly.
What does the Hare see?
The same theme and all words in the set. The secret word is not highlighted. They must bluff during associations and guess the word if the group finds them.
How is the secret word chosen?
The app takes a word set and marks one word as secret. Regular players see it highlighted; the Hare does not.
Where do themes and words come from?
From a library of sets prepared with AI. The game first uses ready sets for the room language. A new set is created when that game has used up available sets.
Do word sets repeat?
Within one game the app tries not to reuse sets. If the library for the language is exhausted, it creates a new set.
What happens on a tie?
If two or more players share the highest vote count, the app runs a revote between the leaders.
What if a player loses connection?
The app tries to restore the session. There is a short reconnect window. If the player does not return, the group decides whether to wait or finish the game. Don’t refresh the invite page or send the token to third-party analytics.
Which languages are supported?
Ukrainian, Russian, and English — in the app and on this site.
Is the game free?
The app will be available on the App Store and Google Play. Always check the store listing for download terms and any paid options — this site does not state a price until it is confirmed.
Is it available for iPhone and Android?
Yes. Zayac is built for iOS and Android. Store links will appear here once the listings are public.
