## What is Game Barrel?

Game Barrel turns your phones into a quick party game night. Host a lobby, invite friends, and play simple games together!

The app includes a growing collection of easy-to-learn party games such as dice games, drawing and guessing games, and more over time. It’s designed for real-life hangouts like game night, pre-party, after dinner, or a weekend away, when you want something social without needing any physical game box.

Getting started is simple. One person hosts a lobby, everyone else joins, and the host picks which game to play. No accounts are required.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

New game "Roll and Hold" added to the game barrel! Enjoy!

### 2.0.0 — 2026-06-27

Play anywhere, no shared Wi-Fi needed.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-04-22

Fixed connection issues.
