Plotback

Coming soon

The party game that remembers.

A party game for a phone that folds open. One side faces the room, the other faces whoever is holding it.

Plays on folding phones only
The Sketch as the room sees it: a drawing of a mushroom, with no word shown.
What the room sees
The same moment as the holder sees it: the word Mushroom, a countdown at 55, the drawing, and buttons marked clear, pass and got it.
What the holder sees

How it plays

One phone, passed round the table.

01

The room

One side of the phone faces everyone at the table.

02

The holder

The other side faces whoever is holding it.

03

Passed round

Someone holds the phone open and passes it round the table.

Every game needs both sides, so Plotback plays only on folding phones. Android and iOS folding phones are planned.

Made for groups of three or more in the same room. Some games work for two.

THE NIGHT

It remembers what happened

At the end it brings back one true moment from each round, such as the fastest guess or the closest call, before it names the winners.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT

Nothing leaves the phone

The game has no accounts, no ads and no tracking, and it plays with no internet connection.

Plotback is coming soon.
