From version 6.0 it is possible to create your own Avatars in the app!

Multiple talented artists created sets of illustrations you can use together with a background colour and a shape to create a unique Avatar for you and other Players in the app.

Select your own Avatar, (optionally) receive your friends Avatars when they share plays, or create sets of Avatars with the same background colour or shape for different game groups!

How to set an Avatar

Quick jump to:

An Avatar can be set on a Players page:
