About this app

Hintrigue is a storytelling party game of hints, decoys, and finding the original. HOW IT WORKS • Hint — the storyteller picks a card only they can see and gives a hint (a word, phrase, or sound) • Decoy — everyone else plays a card from their hand that could fit that hint • Hunt — the table votes for the original; score if some — but not all — find you Too obvious and everyone finds you. Too obscure and nobody does. That tension is the whole game. SURREAL CARDS • Decks are deliberately ambiguous — clear pictures kill the bluff • Art is curated for bluffing, not literal illustration • Language-neutral cards — great for mixed-language tables PLAY WITH ZERO FRICTION • Create a room; friends join by QR or code • Free to join forever — no account required to play • Zero-install web join so some players never need the app • Ghost-player demo round so the table never starts empty • Hand view on phones; table view for the shared screen • Pick an avatar — your color is your seat and your vote Built for game night: short rotations, reconnect-safe rooms, and art that stays ambiguous on purpose.
