How to play

In short

1. Setup

  1. One person creates a room and becomes the host . The others join via the link or by typing the 5-character room code. No account needed, just a nickname.
  2. 3 to 12 people play, each on their own phone. The more, the merrier.
  3. In the lobby the host picks the question deck, the number of questions (5, 10 or 15; 10 questions take about 15 minutes) and whether votes are anonymous or open. Then they tap “Let’s go!”.

2. Question decks

The questions are meant to be fun, not to mock anyone: nothing about looks, weight or health, no swearing. The titles are like awards (“Golden Pillow”, “Last-Minute Medal”), so they suit anyone.

3. How a round works

  1. The same question appears on every phone, with buttons showing every player’s name.
  2. Everyone taps the person they think fits best. You can vote for yourself too — honesty pays off if the others think the same. You can change your vote until the reveal.
  3. Everyone sees who has already voted, but not for whom. Votes stay secret until the reveal.
  4. When everyone has voted, the results reveal themselves, for everyone at once. If someone has walked away from their phone, the host can tap “Reveal now”.
  5. You see bars with the vote counts and the round title for the person with the most votes. In a tie, several people get the title.
  6. Time for laughs and stories! The host starts the next question with the “Next question” button. Nothing happens on its own.

Anonymous or open votes?

4. Points: who knows the crew best

For each question, everyone who voted for the person with the most votes gets +1 point. In a tie, everyone who picked any of the top people gets a point. Other votes earn no points and no penalties.

Example: Anna, Ben and Chloe vote for Dan, and Dan votes for Anna. Dan wins the title, and Anna, Ben and Chloe get a point each.

Note: the points table shows who sided with the majority, so with anonymous votes you can sometimes guess how someone voted. That’s the game — nobody sees the full list of votes.

5. End of the game

After the last question the host taps “End game — show results”. The host can also end the game early; then the questions already revealed count.

“Play again” starts a new game in the same room. Questions don’t repeat: the room remembers the ones you’ve had, also from earlier games. When the deck runs out of new questions, used ones come back (but never twice in one game).

6. FAQ

Can I join during a game?
Yes, via the link or the code. The new person shows up on the voting list right away and can vote.
Someone left during voting. What happens to the votes?
Their vote is lost, and so are the votes cast for them. Those people vote again. If everyone else has already voted, the results reveal themselves.
We’re playing remotely.
The app doesn’t carry sound. Start a call (WhatsApp, FaceTime, Google Meet…) — the best part of this game is the chat after the reveal.
How do I get back into the game from another phone or browser?
Enter the room and type the same nickname. The game will ask “Is that you?”. Once you confirm, you’re back in your spot with your points.
What if the host leaves?
The person who joined earliest becomes the host. The game goes on.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. No account or app install needed.
