About the Game



Siribird is a shiritori (Japanese word-chain) x speed-typing battle on a 5x5 emoji board.
Every emoji has multiple readings (🐱 = neko / nyanko / kyatto...), and the first player to type a reading that starts with the current kana snatches the tile!
Splash your ink across the board and score the most before time runs out β€” a simple, chaotic battle royale.

Type fast. First come, first served.

Online or offline, your choice.


Online: share a 4-letter room code and gather up to 4 players.
Offline: up to 4 players on one PC with 2 keyboards' worth of keys + 2 gamepads + mouse.
Mix rules (Speed / Turn-based) with input styles (Typing / Cursor Select / Voice) for 6 ways to play.
Playing with family or friends who don't type? Cursor Select has everyone covered!

Lost the word? Just "Gone!" it.


"That reading should have counted!" β€” when your input fails, hit the Gone! button.
Propose your word as a new reading for an emoji, and if the majority votes yes, it's adopted. Don't be shy β€” gone away!
Approved readings stay in the room dictionary and carry over to the next game. The more you play, the richer your room's dictionary grows.
Grown dictionaries will eventually be collected and reflected into everyone's shared dictionary!

Four colorful birds


Play as one of four birds β€” pink, green, yellow, or purple. Every capture makes them jump and splatter their ink across the board.
Paint it all!
