A Party Game Everyone Plays On Their Own Phone
Our games turn the phones already in everyone's pocket into a shared adventure. One person buys a link, everyone opens it on their own phone, and the group plays together in the same room. There's no app to download, no account to create and nothing to print.
What a phone-based party game actually is
Each player's phone shows something different: a chart, a control panel, a letter from Grandma. You're not allowed to show your screen, so the only way to solve a lock is to talk. The phones hold the secrets. The fun happens around the table.
It's a cooperative escape game, not a quiz or a drawing game. The whole group works against the clock, and the story ends when you open the final lock.
Escape the Ahti: a submarine escape room for 2–8 players
The submarine Ahti lies crippled on the floor of the Gulf of Finland. You have 50 minutes of air and six locks between you and the surface. Every player runs a station, such as Captain, Engineer or Navigator, each with their own instruments.
With 6 to 8 players, the group splits into two crews racing through the same locks. Everyone sees how far the other crew has got, and the first to surface wins.
Needs: phones only.
Grandma's Cottage: a cottage mystery with a shared screen
Grandma has moved to Spain and left the deed to her lakeside cottage in a locked chest. She'll video call in exactly an hour. Each cousin gets a personal letter from Grandma on their phone, and the cottage rooms appear on a shared screen where the group types its answers.
Needs: phones plus one shared screen, such as a TV or a laptop.
What you need
- A phone for each player, with a modern browser and an internet connection.
- For Grandma's Cottage, one shared screen that everyone can see.
- 2 to 8 players in the same room. The games are built for talking face to face, not for video calls.
- One purchase per group. €9.90 covers up to eight phones, and the link works for 30 days.
How it compares to Jackbox, Heads Up! and free browser games
Jackbox Party Packs are great for big, loud groups: drawing, writing and voting games shown on one TV. Our games are smaller and deeper: one story, one hour, and every player's information matters.
Heads Up! is a quick charades game on one phone. Ours needs a phone for everyone, and it asks you to think together rather than shout out guesses.
Free browser games are perfect for a few quick rounds. Ours is a one-time purchase for a complete escape-room story with a beginning, a middle and an ending.
Who it's for
- Friends at home who like puzzles and want something new for game night.
- Small work teams looking for an office party game that everyone can join.
- Families and cousins at a reunion or on a rainy holiday afternoon.
- Anyone who'd rather talk than perform. No acting, no singing, no forfeits.
How to play
- Pick a game and a language. Both games are in English and Finnish. Each group plays in one language.
- Pay by card. €9.90 per group.
- Get your link straight away, on screen and by email. Share it in your group chat or show the QR code.
- Everyone opens the link and takes a seat. The game starts when every seat is taken.
