Group games you play on your phone
Same room. Every phone. One game.
The best group games on your phone are the ones where everyone plays together in one room. With Cackle, one shared screen shows the game and every player uses their own phone as a private controller: scan the QR code, type a name, and you are in. No app download and no account.
How phone-as-controller works
The TV or laptop shows the prompt, the timer and the big reveal. Your phone shows only what you need: your vote, your secret answer, your drawing pad. That split is what makes the games work. Your answer stays hidden on your phone until the whole room sees the reveal at the same moment.
What your phone does in each game
- The Lineup: tap who fits, confess Guilty or Not, agree or disagree, or write a secret answer.
- Comeback: type an answer of up to 90 characters, then vote for the funniest.
- Rough Draft: draw with your finger, or type guesses fast.
- Pick a Side: tap A or B and predict the split.
- Chaos Deck: tap first in Quick Draw, mash in Thumb War, race for Go Fetch.
Sample prompts
- Guilty or NotGuilty or not? I've been locked out of my own home.
- Hot Take“Mint chocolate chip tastes like toothpaste.”
- Pick a SideA: Give up music forever. B: Give up movies forever.
- Go FetchBring something round.
