Games Rules
Games Modules
- Solitaire: in this mode, player can play the game alone; this mode is a good way to learn the Globish vocabulary without the pressure of competition.
- Challenge: in this mode, a Facebook member plays against another Facebook member. Each player has a personal set of tiles. Participants play in turns. The creator of the Challenge starts the game. Number of players: between 2 – 4.
- Duplicate: Same game style as Challenge, except every player uses same set of tiles and plays every turn at the same time.
Game Set Up (Hall)
This is the Start page for every game you play. In the list of games you can see a list of Public Games. The game can have any of the following states:
- WAITING: New game open for other players to join.
- FULL: Game has started and is blocked for new players
If the list is empty, no game has been created. If you create a game, your friends will see in the game list area the game you created and can join you any time until you have started the game.

Invite Friends
- Send an invitation to any of your existing Facebook friends. Your friend has to accept the invitation and must join Globish Challenge at the same time as you are playing the game in order to play a "Challenge" or "Duplicate" game.
Challenge Friends
- You can challenge your friends to a Globish Challenge while playing in "Solitaire" mode. Challenges that have been sent to you are listed in the Hall's "Your Current Challengers" table.
Dictionary
- The game is primarily based on Globish words to play. The dictionary is based on the core 1500 English words and their associated extensions – care, carefull, careless, etc...
- If you use a Globish word (listed on the right hand side of the game board) you will get DOUBLE POINTS – making it more likely for you to win the game if you play it in multi-player mode.
- In order to make the game more fun to play, we have added the most common English words with 2, 3 or 4 characters used in the International English Speaking Community. Total of 6172 words. It is your task now to create as many valid words as possible from our accepted list of words. Search functionality is provided within the game.
Prizes
- Prizes will vary over the course of the next months. At the moment, we will draw RANDOMLY from the TOP 25 PLAYERS ONE PERSON from EACH CATEGORY (Solitaire/Challenge/Duplicate) at the end of each Month. You can see if you are in the top 25 of any category by clicking on Leaderboard > Last 30 days.
- Each winner gets a high quality Globish Baseball Cap. Good Luck!
