Choosing room content

How do we choose United States content?

Sign in, create a room and choose its culture before starting. Interface language and room content are separate settings. Friends can join from different countries using the same room code.

Does culture change every game?

Culture affects supported question, character, word and saying banks. Some questions are shared general knowledge. Board and card rules do not change just because you select another culture; Flags & Cities uses global content.

Can we play without downloading an app?

No. Balakona runs in a modern phone or desktop browser with an internet connection. Sign in with Google, create a room, choose a game that fits your group size, then share the code or invite link.
