Party mode

How party mode works

Add everyone's name, pick where the pictures come from and choose how many rounds each person plays. The game then deals a different picture to every turn, so no two players are ever asked the same one and watching someone else's round gives nothing away.

Between turns the screen covers everything and asks you to hand the device on. The next picture only loads after that person says they are ready, which is the part that makes it work with the device sitting face up on a table.

Scoring is the same as the single player game. You get 100 minus the percentage you scratched, a wrong name scores nothing, and the totals carry across the whole game.

Packs made from your own photos

A pack is a set of pictures and names that lives in this browser. You add the photos, type a name under each one, and the game treats it exactly like a built in category. The wrong answers are taken from the other names in the same pack, which is why a pack of colleagues works so well: every option is someone in the room.

Nothing you add is uploaded. The photos are resized by your own browser and kept in its local storage, on this device only. We never receive them, cannot see them and cannot recover them for you. Clearing your browsing data deletes them.

If you want a pack on a second device, export it. That writes a single file you can send to yourself however you like, and importing it on the other device rebuilds the pack there.

Before you use photos of people

Photos of your own colleagues, friends or family are yours to use in a private game. Please get the nod from anyone who might not want their face passed around a room, and leave out anything you would not be comfortable being seen on a screen in front of a group.
