Roundly: Party Games
Not claimedRoundly turns any get-together into games night
By Jamie Parnaby · GamesWhy we expect it: Clear party-night value, twelve games and a phone-as-controller setup make it an appealing, well-explained free download.
In short
Roundly: Party Games turns a phone into a game controller, with one host running a room that everyone joins by code or QR scan and a game shown on a big screen. It offers twelve party games, from quizzes and drawing to Impostor, plus no-account play for groups of any age. One standout detail is that rooms skip cards the group has already seen.
Summary by Debuts, based on the App Store listing.About
Roundly turns any get-together into games night. One person hosts, everyone joins with a five-character code or a QR code, and every phone becomes a controller. Put the game on the big screen with AirPlay, an HDMI adapter or any TV web browser.
TWELVE GAMES IN ONE ROOM • Quick Quiz: four answers, thirty seconds, speed bonuses • True or False: quick calls on surprising statements • Odd One Out: spot the one that doesn't belong • Word Rush: unscramble the word before the clock runs out • Guesstimate: the closest number wins • Emoji Decode: crack the emoji puzzle • Doodle Dash: draw the secret word while everyone guesses live • Impostor: everyone knows the secret word except one player • Most Likely To: vote for the friend who fits • Would You Rather: pick a side and see where the room lands • Hot Seat: guess how the player in the seat really answered • Line Up: put four things in the right order
QUIZ-SHOW NIGHTS Answer streaks, a double-points final question, a live leaderboard after every question and a drumroll podium at the end.
GAME NIGHT AND TEAMS Queue up to six games into one Game Night, with running totals and a champion crowned at the end. Many games can also be played in two to four teams.
MADE FOR EVERYONE More than 10,000 reviewed questions and cards across 51 categories, written to be family-friendly and still fun for grown-ups. Hosts choose the categories, difficulty, timer pace and number of rounds, and rooms avoid cards your group has already seen.
PLAY SOLO TOO Warm up with solo practice or take the daily challenge. Earn XP, level up and unlock achievements.
PARTY PACKS AND EXTRAS Theme a night with the Christmas Cracker, Spooky Night, Movie Night or Office Party pack. The host unlocks a pack with coins and everyone else plays free. Dress up your character with outfits, auras and confetti. Earn coins by playing, or buy coin packs.
HOST PACK Write your own quiz questions, save them and share them by code. Anyone can host a shared quiz for free.
NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Just pick a name and a character. You can report a player or a question and block a player on your device, and hosts can lock the room or remove players.
Coins and the Host Pack are optional in-app purchases. Coins are only for cosmetic items and party packs and never affect scores.
