Program name: Things SMS Game
Last updated July 13, 2026
Things is a hobbyist text-message party game played over SMS among a small, private group of friends. It is not a commercial service. By texting the Things game number, you agree to these Terms.
The game host shares the game's phone number directly with each participant — by phone
call, text, or in person — and instructs them to text -join [name] to enroll
for that session (for example, "Text -join Kai to [phone number]"). There is no website
signup, form, or account required — texting -join is itself the opt-in action
that creates consent to receive game messages for that session.
Once enrolled, you'll receive text messages containing game prompts (topics), other players' messages, round updates, scores, and game instructions.
You can cancel at any time by texting STOP. We will send you a
confirmation that you've been unsubscribed, and you will no longer receive messages. To
rejoin later, just text -join [name] again.
If you're having trouble, text HELP to the game number, or email texture.drought.14@icloud.com.
Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Message and data rates may apply for messages we send to you and you send to us. Message frequency varies based on gameplay — you may receive several messages during an active round and none between games. Contact your wireless carrier with questions about your text or data plan.
This game is free to play. Consent to receive messages is not a condition of any purchase.
See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your information, including your phone number.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued participation after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
