Say The Same Thing, the band-created multiplayer word game first seen in 2013, is available again on iOS and Android with daily challenges, avatars, and global ranking.
The rerelease is available now on iOS and Android and adds features such as daily challenges, avatars, and global leaderboards.
The game was produced by the band Ok Go in collaboration with developer Space Inch and echoes the original 2013 release’s social, conversational play.
# What happened Ok Go's multiplayer word game Say The Same Thing has returned to mobile and is available now on iOS and Android. The title began life in 2013 and was produced by the band alongside developer Space Inch. The rerelease keeps the original social puzzle at its core while adding features aimed at sustained mobile play.
# How the game works Say The Same Thing puts two players in a simple setup: each sees a starting word and then submits words to try to converge on the same target. There are no preset answers. Instead, the challenge is the conversational, step-by-step linking of ideas until both players independently choose the same word.
Play is intentionally open-ended. The lack of fixed solutions turns what looks like a straightforward guessing game into a tighter exercise in association and mind-reading between partners. That design is what makes matches feel like short, unpredictable conversations rather than solved puzzles.
# What's new in the rerelease
# Context and positioning Ok Go are best known for their viral music video Here It Goes Again. Their involvement gives Say The Same Thing some nostalgic pull for fans who remember the band's earlier viral work. The original 2013 release leaned into conversational multiplayer and the rerelease preserves that focus while packaging it with mobile-specific extras.
The game's design choice to avoid preset answers is its most distinctive feature. Instead of checking against a fixed solution, matching is a negotiation between two minds. That can make the game surprisingly challenging even when the concept sounds simple at first glance.
# Who this is for Say The Same Thing will appeal to players who enjoy short, social word games and cooperative mind-reading exercises. It's suitable for casual sessions with a friend rather than long solo puzzles. Fans of Ok Go who followed the band's earlier digital projects are a natural audience, too.
If you prefer puzzle games with fixed solutions and deterministic scoring, this game's open-ended matching mechanic may feel frustrating. For players who enjoy unpredictable, social puzzles and want short rounds with leaderboard context, the rerelease adds enough features to justify trying the app.
# Bottom line Say The Same Thing returns as a mobile-friendly version of its original two-player word game. The core mechanic—linking words collaboratively without preset answers—remains intact. Daily challenges, avatars, and global ranks aim to give the game staying power on iOS and Android beyond single sessions.
