About the Game

『The First Foreigner』 is a real-time multiplayer game of deduction and communication built around meeting someone you simply can't talk to.

Without saying a word, use only nearby objects and gestures to explain a word. The other player must piece together your clues and figure out what you mean.

Guess the word to move on to the next stage!

With time running out, words off-limits, wild misunderstandings, and ingenious ideas, embrace the chaos of trying to communicate with someone who doesn't speak your language!

(Recommended)

Please use the in-game voice chat instead of external voice chat apps!

Simple Rules

The clue giver chooses one of three words and must explain it using only nearby objects and gestures—no talking allowed. The guesser must decipher those outlandish gestures and choose the correct answer from three options. Work together, guess every word, and make it all the way to the final stage!

The silence is only temporary: the moment the answer is revealed, everyone's microphones switch on. Now you can tease whoever failed to guess it!

Online

Set a password to create a private room for you and your friends. Or leave it blank, open a public room, and embrace the chaos with strangers. It's time to show off your creativity and intuition!

Notice

Matchmaking only pairs you with players who have selected the same language in Options.
