PartyStack

How it works

A night,
not a menu.

Most party apps are a grid of games and nothing else. The grid is where a group puts the phone down and starts talking about something else. This is built around the other thing.

Step 01 of 05

Pick something,
or let it pick

59 games grouped by what playing them feels like — sit down and read a card, get up and act, everyone on their feet, one phone runs the room.

Every row carries a one-line summary, because a title and a player count tell you nothing about a game you have never heard of.

Step 02 of 05

Learn it before
you commit to it

Every game has its rules written out: what it is, three to five steps, what the phone does, and the one rule groups always get wrong.

They stay reachable mid-game — top left, on every screen — because the moment somebody needs the rules is four turns in, when the argument starts.

Step 03 of 05

Play

Pass the phone round the table, or — if there are several phones in the room — let them find each other and deal a private view to each person.

That is how hidden roles, secret words and card hands are meant to work, and it needs no internet and no account: the phones talk directly over Bluetooth or the wifi you are already on.

Step 04 of 05

It hands you
the next one

No game-over screen dead-ends into the library. Every one of them names a specific next game, chosen to be playable right now with the people who are actually here.

And deliberately a different kind from the one that just finished, because a card game after a card game feels like no change.

Step 05 of 05

You choose how personal it gets.

Three levels, and the mildest one is the default. Every game is fully playable at it — nothing is held back behind the other two.

Default
Chill

Safe for absolutely anyone

Opt in
Spicy

Personal questions, honest answers

Locked until unlocked
Candid

The most personal questions

The top level stays locked until somebody unlocks it on purpose, and a new phone starts at the mildest. Every deck is skippable, and no game requires anyone to answer anything.

Nine cultures

Under their own names.

Antakshari, Housie, Shiritori, Kkeutmarit-gi, Basta, Mau-Mau. Word-chain games alone were invented independently in five cultures, and most apps ship the English one. We ship all of them, called what they are actually called.
