Built to feel great in your hands
Every tap, tick and buzzer is designed to be satisfying — so game night flows without anyone staring at the rules.
A timer you can feel
A big, buttery-smooth countdown ring you can read across the room — with a ticking final five seconds and a buzzer you can feel.
Thousands of words
Three hand-picked decks, dealt fresh from a huge pool so you can play game after game without repeats.
Pass & play
Two to eight teams on a single phone. The active team's colour floods the screen so it's always clear whose turn it is.
Buzzer-beater scoring
Guessed one right as time ran out? Just tap it on the results screen to count it. No arguments, no lost points.
Sound & haptics
Rich haptics on every tap and an audible countdown, so the whole room knows when the clock is about to run out.
No nonsense
Fully offline. No sign-ups, no ads, no data collected. Whatever happens at game night stays at game night.
Three decks for every crew
Mix universal favourites with a splash of local culture — perfect for a table of Brits, Dutchies and everyone in between.
International
Words any English speaker will know — famous faces, places, films, animals and everyday things.
British
A big helping of British culture — Greggs to Peaky Blinders — plus all the classics.
Dutch
Nederlandse woorden, merken en mensen — met universele begrippen voor iedereen aan tafel.
