## What is Hot Seat?

Hot Seat is the social party game that puts everyone on the spot. Pass the phone around, draw a confession card, and decide: do you admit it or do you keep your secrets and hold your lead?
Hot Seat is designed for any group that wants to know each other better and is willing to be honest about it.

— HOW IT WORKS —

Each player takes a turn in the Hot Seat. A "Never Have I Ever" style confession card is revealed. If you've done it, you tap to confess and lose points. If you haven't, you stay silent and protect your score. The last player with points wins.

Up to 10 players. One shared device. Pass it around the table, couch, or campfire.

— FIVE TIERS OF CARDS —

Cards escalate from light to jaw-dropping:

• Clean (3 pts) — Harmless confessions anyone can relate to
• Risky (6 pts) — Things people do but rarely admit
• Dirty (10 pts) — The kind of secrets that get awkward fast
• Savage (15 pts) — Confessions that change how people see you
• Dare (5–15 pts) — Skip the confession and do something instead

Over 115 built-in cards. Add your own custom cards for any group or occasion.

— SAVAGE CARDS: THE STORY TIME RULE —

When a Savage card comes up, confessing isn't enough. You have to tell the full story. The other players vote: do they Believe you — or Doubt you? The verdict affects your score, keeping every round tense right to the end.

— CHAOS MODE —

Turn on Chaos Mode for a wilder game. Each player starts with power-ups they can play at any time:

• Block — Cancel a confession that would cost you points
• Reverse — Flip the card back on the person who played it
• Double Down — Double the point value of the current round
• All In — Force every player to tap at once
• Spotlight — Pick one player who must face the card alone
• Confession Swap — Skip this card and draw a new one

Strategic, unpredictable, and guaranteed to start arguments.

— MORE WAYS TO PLAY —

• Timer Mode — Set a countdown (15, 30, 45, or 60 seconds) per turn
• Streak Bonus — Stay silent three rounds in a row for +2 pts; five in a row for +5
• Custom Cards — Write your own confession or dare cards before the game starts
• Game Stats — See who confessed the most and who burned through the most power-ups

— WORKS GREAT FOR —

• Friend groups of 3–10 players
• Icebreaker games at parties or events
• Couples who think they know each other
• Family game nights (Clean card tier only)
• Team hangouts, road trips, sleepovers
