To kick off the night in 30 seconds
Guests are arriving, glasses are filling up: you need a game that starts right away, with no rules to explain.
For a big table (6 players and up)
Past six players, hidden roles hit their stride: more suspects, more bluffing, more chaos.
Werewolf
5-12 playersThe hidden-roles classic with no moderator: the game runs the nights, the table debates and votes by day.
The Spy
3-12 playersCivilians, spies and Mr. White: everyone describes their word without giving themselves away. The bigger the table, the deeper the doubt.
Catastrophe
1-12 players90 seconds to defend your survival plan before an AI that judges without mercy. Big tables make the best verdicts.
Around a deck of cards
The screen replaces the deck: the card rituals of student parties, minus the sticky cards.

The Spy
3-12 playersBluff and deduction stand on their own: unmasking the impostor is the reward.
Heads Down
1-12 playersPhone on the forehead, get your word guessed without the forbidden words. Guaranteed energy, zero sips required.
The Lost Sketch

As a backdrop for the whole night

With a TV
Pair a screen with a 4-digit code: the TV becomes the board, the phones become the controllers.
The Lost Sketch
3-8 playersThe drawing-chain reveal on the big screen: the shared display is where the game truly shines.
The Pyramid
2-12 playersThe pyramid flips live on the TV: the whole table follows the cards and the stakes as they fall.
