Teatime Games has launched One Word, a word puzzle game aimed at elevating social interaction and combating loneliness.

The mobile game integrates face-to-face, two-way communication among opponents into gameplay, allowing you to gloat, argue, and laugh in real-time as the action unfolds. Designed with the mission to “make gaming social again,” the Teatime Games platform tries to go a step further than other so-called social games.
