How to play

One secret. Who will crack it?

The road-trip riddle everyone knows, turned into a party game. A minute to learn — the host's phone does the rest.

  1. The host hides a green card with a question mark

    The secret rule

    One player hosts. They hold the phone and secretly peek at a rule — like “two same letters in a row”.

  2. Players hold up a banana with a green check and an umbrella with a red cross

    Can you bring it?

    Everyone else takes turns: “I'm packing…” and any item. The host swipes Pack if it fits, Leave if it doesn't.

  3. Three friends cheer, holding cards that all got a green check

    Cracked it? Prove it!

    Shout it, and the host taps Got it! Now name 3 fitting items in a row — one miss and the turn moves on.

  • +3 · +2 · +1First, second and everyone after to pack their bag.
  • The host scores tooA rule that's just right earns points. Too easy or too hard? Zero.
  • Everyone hostsAfter each round the phone moves on with a brand-new rule.
  • Stuck?The host can drop a hint — each one costs them a point.

Frequently asked questions

What is Green Glass Door?

Green Glass Door is a riddle game: things can go through the green glass door only if they follow a secret rule — coffee can, tea can't. The app turns it into a party game: one player hosts with a secret rule, everyone else takes turns packing a bag until they crack it. Read the classic riddle and its answer.

How many people can play?

From 3 to 12 players on a single phone. One person hosts each round and the phone moves on, so everyone gets to host.

How do you play?

The host peeks at a secret rule. Players take turns saying “I'm packing…” and an item; the host swipes Pack if it fits the rule or Leave if it doesn't. Think you've cracked it? Prove it by naming 3 fitting items in a row. See the full rules.

How does scoring work?

The first player to pack their bag gets +3, the second +2, everyone after +1. The host scores when the rule was just right: nobody cracking it, or everyone cracking it in a couple of turns, earns the host nothing. Hints cost the host a point each.

What's free and what's in PRO?

Free gets you the Glass Door and Categories packs — 24 rules. PRO unlocks all 13 packs and all 141 rules, with a 3-day free trial.

Is it good for kids and families?

Yes — it's played out loud around a table. The Kids pack keeps rules simple for younger players, while an adult holds the phone and hosts.

Do I need an account or internet?

No account and no sign-up — just type the players' names and start. The rule packs live in the app.

Which devices are supported?

iPhone, iPad and Android phones.
