Start for freeWhy Caption This works for friend groups
Asynchronous play
Unlike traditional board games, you don't all have to be online at the same time. Everyone writes their caption when they have time. Playable for weeks.
Reactivates old photos
Vacation photos from summer 2024 disappear in WhatsApp chats. Caption This gives them new life – and you laugh about moments you almost forgot.
Lower threshold than memory
While memory requires full attention, you can play Caption This in between – at lunch, evening on the couch, while commuting.
When do you play Caption This in the friend group?
After common weekends: after every weekend trip, WG party, friend's wedding – upload photos and start Caption This a few days later. Long-term on vacation: start the game on the first day, write captions and vote together every evening. An ongoing fun for 7-14 days of vacation. For preparing birthday speeches: in a Caption This round you collect funny photos and stories of the birthday person. From the best captions becomes the best-buddy speech. WG evenings: WG members play Caption This with pictures from WG everyday life. Long-distance relationships: friend groups living in different cities play Caption This asynchronously and stay connected. Reunion preparation: before a 10-year school reunion or study reunion, start a Caption This game with old class photos.
Setup: Start Caption This in 5 minutes
Step 1: Create your friends group at ShareMyMoments (free, free plan enough for 5 active friends). Step 2: Upload photos – via drag & drop from smartphone or computer. At least 10-20 photos for an interesting game. Step 3: In the 'Games' area choose 'Caption This'. A random photo is selected. Step 4: All members write (asynchronously, each at their own time) a caption. You only see others' captions after own input – prevents influence. Step 5: Voting phase: everyone anonymously votes for the best caption. Own caption not selectable. Step 6: Winner caption is displayed under the photo. Points for the leaderboard. Important: only registered members play. The free plan allows 5 members, enough for most friend groups.
Asynchronous play: the game changer
Traditional Caption This (board game or online multiplayer) requires all to be online at the same time. For friend groups in different cities or with different schedules, this is difficult. ShareMyMoments Caption This runs asynchronously: the game runs continuously, everyone writes their caption when they have time. A typical flow: Monday: Anna uploads vacation photos, starts caption round 1. Tuesday: Anna writes her caption. Wednesday: Bernd writes his caption (hasn't seen Anna's yet). Thursday: Charlotte writes hers. Friday: David forgets briefly, catches up. Saturday: everyone votes. Sunday: winner is announced, next round starts. Advantages: no waiting, no time pressure, all can be creative in peace. Works over weeks with the same 20 photos – every time different captions, different winners. For friend groups meeting in person only 2-3x per year, Caption This is a perfect connection tool between meetings.
Frequently asked questions about Caption This in friend groups
How many friends should play?
At least 3 for interesting voting results, ideally 5-10. With more than 15 players, voting becomes confusing.
What if someone doesn't like writing captions?
Caption This works even with only 2-3 active writers, the rest just votes. You can design the game flexibly – no one is forced to write.
Can we play Caption This with old photos?
Yes, even better! Old photos have more context and personal stories. School class photos, old WG pictures, vacation photos of the last 10 years – all great Caption This templates.
Who sees the captions?
Only invited group members. Your friends group is private, no public access. You can share winner captions as screenshot if you want – the platform forces nothing.
