Top 6 Best Local Multiplayer Games for iPhone and iPad on One Device
Out of the Loop
Available on: iOS + Android
Genre: Multiplayer, Party/mini-games
Out of the Loop is a local multiplayer party game in which participants take turns looking at a screen that displays a word. Except for one person, who will see nothing, every player will see the identical word. They are the impostor, and they must now pretend to understand the word in order to stay in the game. Now it’s up to each player to ask each other specific questions to see who knows what the word means and who doesn’t.
Battle Golf
Publisher: Colin Lane
Available on: iOS + Android
Genre: Sports
Battle Golf is a humorous local multiplayer sports game in which two golfers must get their ball into whatever hole appears on the screen while standing opposite from each other with only a lake between them. Animals and small islands will appear in the lake, requiring you to get your golf ball into the hole as quickly as possible to score a point!
Fingle
Developer: Game Oven
Available on: iOS
Genre: Multiplayer
This simple game is a local multiplayer on a single device that pits you and a friend against each other in a combat unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Twister is essentially a game that you play with your hands. Each of you must place your fingertips on the designated locations and use strategy to complete the 100+ levels. There were no fractured bones (literally).
MONOPOLY (2019)
Available on: iOS + Android
Genre: Card/board game, Multiplayer
Monopoly is undoubtedly a game you’ve heard of before; after all, who hasn’t? Perhaps you’ve misplaced your board or lost some of the money in your set. Perhaps you haven’t picked up a copy because the game is too time consuming to play. The mobile version of Monopoly, on the other hand, not only keeps all of your pieces in one place, but it’s also a shorter game that can be played with members of your family or friends via pass and play. There are several distinct rule sets, maps, and loads of funny characters in this remake of a classic.
King of Opera
Developer: Tuokio
Available on: iOS + Android
Genre: Arcade, Multiplayer, Party/mini-games
King of Opera, which combines fighting and music, is ideal for individuals who wish to fight each other but aren’t interested in violence or real fighting. Up to four players can control opera singers who are attempting to push their opponents off the stage in order to take all of the glory! They can accomplish this by maintaining their beat and use their spotlight power to deter others. It’s an entertaining game with an original concept.
Publisher: Halfbrick Studios
Available on: iOS + Android
Genre: Action, Casual
Fruit Ninja has a two-player mode on one screen, in case you didn’t know. You can compete against another player by swiping fruit in a tiny space against a timer in the hopes of outscoring the other player. It’s likely that someone already has Fruit Ninja installed (I do!). It’s a simple version of the game, but if you enjoy it or are playing against someone who has played a lot of Fruit Ninja, it can be a lot of fun.
Heads Up!
Publisher: Warner Bros. Games
Available on: iOS
Genre: Puzzle, Word game
Heads Up! is the polar opposite of Out of the Loop. Instead of having a distinct word for each participant and trying to figure out who it is, one player has a word on their gadget that they are holding against their head. The remainder of the group then works together to try to provide that player hints so that they can guess the word before the timer runs out, dip their head, and get another word before the timer runs out. They aim to get as much as they can in the allotted time! Heads Up! features a variety of categories, so there’s something for everyone, and it’s always a good time.
