Ponderora
Help and getting started
Start one room, keep the recommended setup if you are unsure, and let the first question begin the conversation. You do not need an account or a long setup.
Fastest first win
1. Choose who is playing
Someone new, a date or partner, friends, family, a group, or just you is enough to align the first room.
2. Trust the recommended setup
You can always fine-tune later. The first setup is meant to work without lots of decisions.
3. Keep one good line
A recap lets the useful part continue after the conversation ends.
What each area is for
Start your first room
Open Play, choose who is playing, and start with the recommended room if you are unsure. You do not need to fine-tune every setting before the first question.
Keep it private
Ponderora stays private by default on this device. Nothing becomes public unless you deliberately export your data or connect cloud save through Account.
Use Together for dates and partners
Together is the optional two-person space for saved names, weekly rituals, and membership continuity. Everyone else can keep playing regular rooms without setting it up.
Use Account when you want continuity
Account is where you sign in, turn on cloud save, and manage membership. You do not need it before your first free room.
Common questions
Do I need to make an account before trying the free room?
No. The free room is meant to work before account setup becomes necessary.
What if I do not know which room to pick?
Choose who is playing. Ponderora will recommend a safe first room, and you can change the setup only if you want to.
When does membership matter?
Only after the free room already feels worth repeating. Membership is the continuity layer, not the first proof of value.
Where do I fix cloud save or billing later?
Open Account to sign in, manage cloud save, or check your membership.
