What Guessbook is

A way to make a trivia game about someone you know and play it with friends and family on their phones. Building and previewing a Guessbook is free with a small number of players. Game Night and the Party Pass are one-time purchases that open one Guessbook to more players; the Club and Planner plans are subscriptions that do the same for every Guessbook on your account.

Your content

The questions, answers, names and photos you add stay yours. You give us permission to store and show them to the people you share your Guessbook with, which is the whole point. Only add photos and facts you have the right to share — this is a party game, so keep it kind: nothing that would embarrass the guest of honor in a way they wouldn't laugh about.

Nothing we tolerate

A Guessbook is written by the people in it — guests type their own name, write a question for the room and write a wish for the guest of honor. There is no tolerance here for objectionable content or for abusive people. Hate speech and slurs, harassment, sexual content, anything sexualising a child, sharing someone's private information, and threats are not allowed anywhere in Guessbook — not in a question, not in a name, not in a wish. We filter the worst of it before it can be posted, and anything the filter misses we remove.

Reporting something. Every wish, question and game has a Report link, on the web and in the apps, and it works whether or not you're playing. A person at Spanvor LLC reads every report within 24 hours and removes anything that breaks these terms. Accounts and guests responsible for it are barred. You can also write to hello@guessbook.app at any time.

Blocking someone. Any guest can block another guest from the wishes page: you stop seeing anything they wrote, and they are not told. A host can remove a guest from their Guessbook, which deletes that guest's answers and keeps that name from rejoining. Hosts approve every guest-written question before the room sees it, and can hide any wish once the wishes open.

Things you agree not to do

• Host if you're under 13. If you're under 18, host only with a parent or guardian's okay; guests of any age can play a game a host shares with them.
• Use it to harass, humiliate, or expose anyone, or to share content that is illegal or hateful.
• Upload photos of people who haven't agreed to be in a game, or of a child who isn't yours without their parent's OK.
• Try to get into other people's Guessbooks, scrape the service, or overload it.
• Resell access or unlock codes.

We can remove a Guessbook or close an account that breaks these, and we'll tell you why.

Game Night and the Party Pass

Each unlocks one Guessbook for as long as that Guessbook exists — Game Night for up to ten players, the Party Pass for unlimited players. Both are refundable until the reveal has run or the day of your event, whichever comes first — see the refund policy. Prices are shown before you pay; where we're required to collect it, sales tax is added at checkout and itemized before you confirm.

Referral credit and codes

When a friend uses your link, they get $5 off a Party Pass or their first Club payment and you get $5 of credit once they pay. Credit applies automatically to your next Party Pass, Club payment or Planner year (not Game Night), has no cash value, lasts at least twelve months, and is taken back if the purchase it came from is refunded. Codes bought elsewhere (for example on Etsy) unlock one Guessbook each; a refund for a code goes through the place you bought it, and a code that has been used can't be refunded.

Club and Planner subscriptions

These renew automatically — monthly or yearly, whichever you chose — until you cancel, which you can do any time from the billing page linked on the plan's page. Cancelling stops the next charge; you keep the plan through the period you've paid for, and every Guessbook the plan unlocked stays unlocked. If a price changes, we'll tell you before it applies to your next renewal. Refunds on subscriptions are covered in the refund policy.

What we promise, and what we can't

We'll keep the service up and your data safe as best we can, and we'll tell you if something goes wrong. But it's software: it may occasionally be unavailable, and we can't promise your cousin will remember to play before the party. To the extent the law allows, Spanvor LLC isn't liable for indirect losses, and our total liability for anything to do with the service is what you paid us in the last twelve months.

Where we are, and the law that applies

Spanvor LLC is a Texas company, and these terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. If we ever have a dispute we can't sort out by email, it belongs in the state or federal courts in Travis County, Texas, and we both agree to that — except that nothing here takes away protections you have under the consumer law of the place you live, where that law says those protections can't be waived.

If you buy from the European Union, the United Kingdom, or somewhere else with a right to cancel a digital purchase within 14 days: when you unlock a Guessbook you ask us to make it available straight away, and you acknowledge that the right to cancel ends once the game is unlocked and can be played. Our own refund policy is more generous than that in most cases — a one-time purchase is refundable until the reveal has run or the day of your event — and it applies to everyone.

Changes and goodbye

If we change these terms in a way that matters, we'll post the new version here with a new date. You can stop using Guessbook and delete your Guessbooks at any time from the dashboard.
