Which one suits you?
Sketch Round
One person draws on their phone while everyone else watches the picture appear live on the TV and types a guess. Faster correct guesses score more – and the worst drawings tend to be the funniest.
Pick Sketch Round when three to ten people are gathered around a TV and like to laugh.
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.
What they have in common
- 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.
- Both come free with Gather and need no account.
