Which one suits you?
Letter Hunt
The classic word game without pen and paper: one letter, several categories, and whoever finishes first calls “Stop!”. You score together – dodgy answers can be challenged and the majority decides.
Pick Letter Hunt when you enjoy playing with words and don’t mind a friendly argument.
Fib Finder
A baffling question with a blank, and everyone makes up a believable wrong answer. Then all the answers appear side by side with the truth: spot the real one and you score – fool others and you score too.
Pick Fib Finder when you love spinning a tale and know each other well enough to fool one another.

- Both work for 3–10 players.
- Both are Party games.
- Both need a game table: Apple TV, iPad or Mac.
- In both, everyone has secret information on their own phone.
