In short
- A party game you play out loud with friends. Names, teams and scores stay on your phone.
- An account is optional, unless you play online or buy something. We keep only what the game needs, use it only for the game, and never sell it or use it for ads.
- Bought items are a licence to use them in the game. They have no cash value and cannot be sold or moved to another account. Refunds follow Apple’s or Google’s rules.
- You can delete your account and data from Settings at any time. The game asks you once more before deleting, because the deletion cannot be undone.
Terms of use
1. Who we are and this agreement
These terms are an agreement between you and Beso Games, the game label of Mohamed Bassiuony, Alexandria, Egypt ("we", "us"), the makers of صح ولا كدب؟ (Sah Wala Kedb, "Truth or Lie?"). Contact: support@mishmishbook.app.
By installing, opening or playing the game you accept these terms and our privacy policy below. If you do not agree, please do not use the game.
2. Who may play
The game is for players aged 13 and over. If you are under 21 (the age of majority in Egypt), play and buy only with the permission of a parent or legal guardian, who accepts these terms for you and is responsible for any purchase.
You may not use the game if the law of your country forbids it, or if we closed your account before for breaking these terms.
3. Your account
You can play as a guest. To play online, keep purchases on a new phone, or get gifts, you sign in with an email code, Google, or Apple (on iPhone).
One account is for one person. Keep your phone and sign-in safe, and tell us at once if you think someone else used your account. You are responsible for what happens in your account.
Accounts are personal. You may not sell, rent, lend, share or give away your account or anything in it, or buy someone else’s. We may close accounts that are traded, and the items in them, without a refund.
We may refuse or change a name that is offensive, misleading, or pretends to be someone else.
4. The pictures and stories
Every picture is made by artificial intelligence for this game and checked by us. The people in them are invented; any likeness to a real person is a coincidence. Lie stories and hint cards are suggestions for a bluffing game, not facts about anyone or anything.
AI pictures can still contain mistakes or strange details. If something looks wrong, offensive, or like a real person, report it and we will review it and remove it if needed.
We may add, change, swap or remove pictures, packs and categories at any time, including in packs you bought, to keep the game safe and good. If we remove a pack you bought, or most of its photos, we replace it with content of equal value, or help you ask Apple or Google for a refund where their rules allow.
5. Playing online
Online rooms are private and open only with a room code. You choose who you share the code with. What players say on voice or chat apps outside the game (WhatsApp, Discord and others) is between them and those apps; we cannot see or control it.
To keep games fair, the server records each round (who described, votes, points and which photos each player has seen). We may end a room, undo results, or reset points that came from cheating or a bug.
6. Shop, packs and virtual items
What you get. Packs, skins, photos and other items bought or received in the game are a limited, personal, non-transferable licence to use them inside the game while you have an account and the game is offered. You do not own them, and they have no cash value outside the game.
Paying. Purchases are made and charged by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play), in your currency including taxes, as shown before you pay. We never see your card. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their rules; we cannot refund store purchases ourselves.
Limited items. Some items are sold for a limited time and do not come back once the sale ends. We tell you in the shop when an item is limited.
Rooms. When a player who owns a pack is in an online room, everyone in the room may play its photos during that game, but only the owner keeps the pack.
Refund abuse. If a purchase is refunded, charged back, or made with a stolen or invalid payment, we may remove the item and anything gained from it. Items given by mistake (for example by a bug or a wrong price) may be corrected.
We do not promise that any item, pack or feature will stay forever. If we close the game, we will tell you in advance where the law requires.
7. Fair play rules
You agree not to:
- bully, insult, threaten or embarrass anyone, or use the game to say false or harmful things about a real person;
- cheat, use bots, scripts, modified apps or tools that read hidden game data, or exploit bugs instead of reporting them;
- copy, change, reverse-engineer, decompile or resell the game, its pictures or its code, or scrape its content;
- try to reach data that is not yours, get around limits, prices or the shop, or attack, flood or overload our servers;
- make several accounts to abuse offers, gifts or bans;
- pretend to be us, another player, or a real person;
- use the game for anything illegal.
8. What we can do if the rules are broken
Depending on how serious it is, we may warn you, limit features, remove items gained unfairly, suspend, or close your account, without a refund for items lost because of the breach, to the extent the law allows. When we can, we tell you why, and you can reply to support@mishmishbook.app to ask us to look again.
9. What belongs to us, and your feedback
The game, its name, logo, pictures, text, sounds, design and code belong to us or to those who licensed them to us, and are protected by Egypt’s Intellectual Property Law (Law 82 of 2002) and international treaties.
You may share screenshots and short clips of your own games for personal, non-commercial use, without suggesting that we endorse you.
If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them freely, without paying you, and you keep no rights over the result.
10. Other companies
The game uses Apple, Google, Supabase, Cloudflare and Resend to run sign-in, payments, storage and emails. Your use of Apple or Google also follows their own terms. We are not responsible for their services, outages or decisions.
11. The game is provided "as is"
The game is for fun. We work to keep it running and correct, but we cannot promise it will always be available, free of mistakes, or work on every phone. We may change, pause or stop any part of it, for example for maintenance or safety.
12. Limit of liability
(a) We are not liable for indirect or unforeseeable losses, lost data on your phone, or for what other players, Apple, Google or other companies do.
(b) For any other claim under these terms, our total liability to you is limited to the greater of what you paid for the game in the 12 months before the claim, or EGP 500.
(c) Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud or gross negligence, for harm caused by an unlawful act, or any right the Consumer Protection Law (Law 181 of 2018) or another mandatory law gives you that cannot be waived.
13. You cover us
To the extent the law allows, if someone makes a claim against us because you broke these terms, broke the law, or misused the game or another person’s rights, you agree to cover the reasonable costs and losses this causes us.
14. Ending
You can stop at any time by deleting your data (see "Delete your data" below) and the game. We may end these terms for you if you seriously or repeatedly break them.
Parts that by their nature should last after the end (what belongs to us, limits of liability, you cover us, law and disputes) stay in force.
15. Law and disputes
These terms follow the laws of the Arab Republic of Egypt. Please write to support@mishmishbook.app first; we answer within 14 days. If we cannot agree, the courts of Alexandria have jurisdiction, and you keep your right to complain to the Consumer Protection Agency (hotline 19588) or the Personal Data Protection Center.
16. Changes to these terms
If we change these terms in a way that matters, we update this page, its date and version, and the game asks you to agree again before the change applies to you. If you do not agree, you can stop playing and delete your data.
17. General
These terms and the privacy policy are the whole agreement between us about the game. If a court finds one part invalid, the rest stays in force. If we do not enforce a right straight away, we do not give it up. We may transfer this agreement to whoever takes over the game, with the same protection for you. We are not responsible for delays caused by events outside our reasonable control (for example outages, disasters, or orders of authorities). The English and Arabic versions mean the same; if they ever differ, the Arabic version applies.
Privacy policy
1. Who looks after your data
Beso Games (Mohamed Bassiuony, Alexandria, Egypt) decides how your data is used for this game. Contact: support@mishmishbook.app. We follow Egypt’s Personal Data Protection Law (Law 151 of 2020).
2. What stays on your phone only
Player names you type, teams, scores, game history, settings and downloaded photos stay on your phone. We never receive player names. Deleting the game deletes them.
3. What we receive, and why
- A random device code made by the game when it first opens (a guest account). It is not your name, phone number or advertising ID. Used to keep your gifts, items and bans with you.
- Your sign-in, only if you make an account: your email address (email codes), or your name, email and a sign-in ID from Google or Apple. Used only to sign you in and keep your account. We never ask for your contacts, files, location or anything else in your Google or Apple account.
- Purchases: which item, when, its price and a purchase ID from Apple or Google, so you get what you paid for and to stop fraud. We never see your card.
- Online games: the room, your in-room nickname, votes, points and the list of photos you have seen, so the game is fair and you do not see the same photo twice.
- Game stats (on by default to help us improve the game; switch them off any time in Settings): what happens in a game (a round finished, a category picked, how long a round took), the app version and the system.
- Crash reports: the error and where it happened, so we can fix it.
- Messages you send us (support, reports), to answer them.
The legal basis is our agreement with you (to run the game and your purchases), your consent, and our legitimate interest in improving the game (game stats, which you can switch off in Settings) and in keeping it safe and fair (fraud and cheating checks).
4. What we never do
No ads, no tracking across other apps or websites, no selling or renting of data, no location, microphone, camera or contacts. Our use of information from Google sign-in follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
5. Who helps us run the game
Only companies that process data for us under contract, for the purposes above: Supabase (database and sign-in, servers in Frankfurt, Germany), Cloudflare (photo storage and this website), Resend (sign-in code emails), and Apple and Google (sign-in and payments, under their own privacy policies). We may also share data when the law or a court requires it, or to protect players from fraud or harm.
6. Data outside Egypt
There is no suitable data-centre service for the game inside Egypt, so some of these companies store data outside Egypt (for example in the European Union). By accepting these terms you agree to this transfer. We use providers that protect data with encryption and access rules, and we follow the rules of Egypt’s Personal Data Protection Center for such transfers.
7. How long we keep it
Most game stats and all crash reports: 90 days. A few summary events (a game started or finished, a round revealed) are kept in a form that no longer points to you. Your account, items and purchase records: until you delete your data, except what the law requires us to keep longer (for example tax or fraud records). Copies in backups disappear within 30 days.
8. Security
Data travels encrypted (HTTPS/TLS). Every table on our server is protected so each player reaches only their own data, and secret keys live only on the server, never in the app. If a breach could put you at risk, we will tell you and the authorities as the law requires.
9. Children
The game is for ages 13 and up. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you think a child has sent us data, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Your rights
You can ask to know, see, correct, move or delete data about you, object to its use, and take back your consent at any time. Write to support@mishmishbook.app; we may first check the account is yours. You can also complain to the Personal Data Protection Center in Egypt; please tell us first so we can fix it.
11. Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, the game asks you to agree again before the change applies to you.
Delete your data
In the game
Open Settings and press and hold "Delete my data". The game then shows you, once, what will be lost and offers to sign out or switch off game stats instead. If you still want to go ahead, confirm and everything below is deleted.
What is deleted
Your account, your email or Google/Apple sign-in link, your device code, your items, packs and skins, your online history, and the stats stored with them. This cannot be undone: items you bought do not come back, even if you sign in again with the same email. Apple and Google keep their own record of your payment under their own policies.
Without the game
Email support@mishmishbook.app from the address you signed in with (if you made an account), and tell us your device code if you can (Settings). We confirm and delete within 30 days.
