How it works

No calls, no meetings.

Pay and email your guest list

Payment is by card through Stripe. Then email [email protected] each guest's first name and one or two harmless true details: a hobby, a catchphrase, a famous habit. Tell us the theme you want, or let us choose.

We write the game

The 72-hour clock starts when we have your list. If anything is unclear, we ask by email.

You print and host

Everything arrives as printable PDFs. After delivery you get one free round of changes, such as swapping a guest who dropped out.

How the game is made

What to know before you order.

Written with AI, checked for logic

Each game is written with an advanced AI system around the details you send, then checked so that every clue points where it should and the solution can actually be reached. We tell you this up front because you should know how your game is made.

Keep the details kind

The fun is in-jokes everyone is happy to laugh at. Please don't send anything private, sensitive or embarrassing about a guest. If a detail looks like it could hurt someone, we leave it out.

Questions

Before you order.

How far ahead should I order?
At least a week before the party gives you time to send invitations with character names. We deliver within 72 hours of getting your guest list.
What if a guest cancels?
Your free round of changes after delivery covers swapping or removing a guest.
Is it suitable for work?
The office edition is written to be workplace-friendly: no romance plots, no crude humour, nothing about anyone's job performance.
Is this done by a person or by AI?
The game is written with an AI system and checked for logic. It is not a stock game with names pasted in; the characters and clues are built around your guests.
Where do you serve?
We serve customers in the United States.
