It's Just A Game

Lots of quick-fire mini games, one spinning wheel, zero setup. Grab the family, tap a link, and play — first to the crown wins. Best served with sore losers.

It's Just A Game is the party game for everyone — fifteen quick-fire mini games for family and friends, ages 8 to 80. No console, no board, no cards to lose down the sofa: just the phones already in everyone's pockets.

HOW IT WORKS One person starts a game and sends everyone a link — iMessage, WhatsApp, however your family nags each other. Everyone joins with a tap. The wheel spins, someone picks the game, and you're off. Win rounds to take the crown, then hit Rematch and the next game starts by itself for the whole crew.

FIFTEEN MINI GAMES • Eyeball It — a cloud of dots flashes up and vanishes. How many were there? • Gold Rush — one secret pick on a shared coin board. Clash and nobody scores. • Hide & Seek — hide on the grid, take turns searching. Last one found wins. • Higher or Lower — call the next card. Wrong and you're out. • Lightning — wait for it… TAP! Reactions measured to the millisecond. • Perfect Circle — draw the roundest circle you can. One finger, one stroke. • Push Your Luck — ride the growing pot or bank it before the skull lands. • Put Your Finger On It — a bare map, 15 seconds, drop your pin on the answer. • Repeat After Me — watch the pads flash, tap the sequence back from memory. • Sense of Direction — point your arrow at a real place. GPS knows the truth. • Showdown — rock, paper, scissors against the whole table at once. • Sort Circuit — tap 1 to 9 as fast as you can. Mistakes cost a second. • Steady Hand — keep your finger inside the drifting, shrinking ring. • Tap Frenzy — five seconds. Tap like mad. Pure chaos. • Ten Seconds — the clock hides. Keep counting and tap at exactly the target.

PLAYING WITH SMALL CHILDREN Switch Simplify on for any player and pick their level — A little help, A big help, or Basically cheating. Every game quietly joins in, and nothing on anyone else's screen gives it away. The little ones just seem to have a suspiciously good day.

EASY FOR EVERYONE • Nothing to learn — every game explains itself in one sentence. • No accounts, no sign-ups, no ads, no in-app purchases. • Ties always share — and a dead heat goes to the tie-break wheel. • Games are private to your crew: invite-only and end-to-end encrypted.

Works across the sofa or across the country — distance doesn't matter. It's just a game… until someone loses.

Requires iCloud sign-in (the game passes its encrypted messages through iCloud). Works on iPhone and iPad.
