Culprit Club
One of your guests did it.
Pick a world, type in your guests, and each one gets a character written around them. The TV plays the opening, the twist and the reveal. Each phone keeps its owner's secrets.
- About two hours, made to fit around dinner.
- Every case can end three ways, so a replay has a new culprit.
- Your guests' real quirks show up as flavour. The motive always belongs to the character.

Room Famous
A game show about the people in the room.
Before the night, everyone answers a two minute survey on their phone. The show is built from those answers, so the board shows what your own people actually said.
A made up example board. Tap a tile to turn it.
Running order
- IThe survey boardTwo teams, a buzzer and a board of what your group said, revealed one answer at a time.
- IIWho said it?A line goes up on the TV. Everyone picks the author on their phone.
- IIIWho knows them best?Guess the guest of honour's answers. Their phone holds the truth.
- IVThe picture roundBaby photos and fridge doors, uploaded by the people in them.
- VThe finalTwo players, five questions, twenty seconds each.
Everyone answers for themselves, and every question can be skipped.
