Liar's dice, played for rank. Three ranked queues, an Elo rating on every ladder, seasons with podiums, live events with rules of their own, and a record of every bid you make. Plus Pips & Treason, a social deduction game of promises and traitors. RANKED Wild Ones, Straight Ones and the 1v1 Duel each have their own queue, ladder and rating, because they are different games. Overall adds wild and straight together and decides the season podium. Everyone starts at 1000. Your first fifteen matches are provisional; after that, a rating has to be earned. Climb six tiers from FRESH MEAT to LEGEND and see where you stand among every ranked player. Walk out of a ranked match and you finish last. SEASONS AND LIVE EVENTS Every season opens a fresh ladder at 1000, on top of a career rating that never resets. Play ten matches to place. The top three on Overall and in the 1v1 take prizes that are never sold. Live events change the rules for a few weeks - how many dice you hold, whether ones are wild, or a twist of their own - with their own rating, standings and prizes. EVERY BID ON RECORD Statistics track how often your bids hold when someone calls them, how many of your calls land, and how you bid on every face from one to six, kept apart for wild and straight ones. Eight achievements climb from bronze to diamond, and six more are legendary. WEAR WHAT YOU WON Over 150 cups, dice, avatars, banners, mats and emotes. The rarest are never for sale: they come from podiums, ratings, events and trophies, and arrive sealed until you open them. FAIR TABLES Bots only fill chairs at private tables, and private tables never move rating, trophies or stats. Wild and straight players are never mixed, one account holds one place in line, and a blocked player is never seated with you again. HOW LIAR'S DICE PLAYS Everyone rolls behind their own cup. Bid on what the whole table is hiding, raise the bid before you, or call LIAR and make somebody prove it. Lose the challenge and lose a die. The last cup standing wins. Two to six players. Open a private table with a link or a four-letter code and fill empty chairs with bots on Easy, Normal or Hard. A short tutorial walks you through bidding, calling LIAR and the reveal. PIPS & TREASON Six to ten players, and two to four of them are traitors who know each other from the first deal. Each operation has a leader, who picks a team and promises out loud which die every member will spend. The table votes on the promise, and the dice must hit the target exactly. Every die you spend is gone for the rest of the match. Call LIAR on a contributor and only you learn what they played. One loyal player, THE AUDITOR, knows every traitor - say too much, and the traitors' hunter names you and takes the match. The traitors have a channel of their own. Public tables seat you as soon as six are waiting, and public matches build a career of their own. Private tables take a code or a link, and bots can fill every chair your friends don't. A practice table seats you in a match already under way. FRIENDS AND LEAGUES Add friends by username, by link or from the table, see who is here right now, and see their ratings and public record. Friends can start a private Pips & Treason league that keeps score across nights: a point for every win, a point off for every loss. Only members see it. PRIVACY AND SAFETY No advertising. No gambling: nothing is wagered, and nothing you win can be exchanged for money. No third-party analytics or tracking. An account is optional and adds cross-device progress, leaderboards, friends and leagues; a guest profile is created on first launch. Chat is limited to the room you are sitting in, and any player can be reported or blocked. ## Is Pips & Lies safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess Pips & Lies. ## Is Pips & Lies legit?

FRIENDS sits in the top bar of both games and shows how many are here. Only accepted friends can see you, and you can switch it off at the bottom of your friends list. PIPS & TREASON: THE TABLE TELLS THE STORY The lobby is now the table the match is played at. Chairs fill in around the oval as players sit down, and the file opens where you sit. During the match the table shows the operation itself: a beam from the leader while the team is picked, the contract as a sum in the middle, sealed ballots that turn over to YES or NO, face-down dice in a pot while the team plays, and a felt that darkens with every rejection that counts. LIAR CALLS STAY ON THE TABLE Who called LIAR on whom, and who was shown the proof, now stays on the table after an operation. When there are only a few, they are drawn as arrows. With more, the chairs carry the count, and a tap on a chair lights up its accusers, the players it accused and who saw its proof. THE OPERATIONS THAT DECIDE IT When an operation can end the match, a banner says who is on match point, and the card shows what each outcome means before the dice are counted. A traitor win on the dice is now counted out before the file opens. When the loyal side reaches three, the hunt gets its own moment: every role is told what it means for them, the clock stands in the middle of the table, and the hunter's guess takes the whole screen before the result. THE CHAT, REBUILT The chat is one stream of what was said and what happened: proposals, votes, dice and LIAR calls stand between the messages, under a heading for each operation. Every player is shown by the avatar on their chair. Tap a player at the top to see only what they said, with the rest folded away in place. Scroll up and the chat stays where you are; new messages gather in a button, gold when one names you. NOTES, MARKS AND THE RECORD Tap a player for a redrawn notes sheet with their face, your mark and their match so far. The marks depend on your role: a traitor's only guess left is the auditor, and the auditor can mark the one they think is the hunter. The contract shows what you know about the team you vote on. Tap an operation at the top of the screen to open its record, with a tab for every proposal and the votes in two columns. LESS TO READ AFTER THREE MATCHES Once you have finished three Pips & Treason matches, the step labels and help lines step aside and the table gets the room. A ? in the top bar brings back the tip for the step you are on. Rejections that count have a counter of their own, a promise of a die already spent is struck through, and READY is a proper button that says who the table is waiting for. LIAR'S DICE The reveal now opens over the table instead of replacing it, and at smaller tables it moves on sooner: the cups lift at the same pace, without the wait afterwards. Your profile looks the same inside each game as on the first screen. ALSO The leaderboard loads in the background, so it is usually ready before you tap RANKS. ### 1.7.0 — 2026-09-28 COMPLETELY REDESIGNED Pips & Lies has been redrawn from the first screen to the final reveal. Pick your game from two cards: Liar's Dice at your own table, with your cup and dice, and Pips & Treason as a case file. Your profile and account open as a sheet from the first screen. BUILT FOR RANKED Choose Wild Ones, Straight Ones or 1v1 and tap FIND A TABLE - the app remembers your ladder. The season, the live event and your gear sit right below. The queue has a screen of its own, where the chairs fill one by one and you see the rating at stake and what the match means for your season. After a ranked match your rating counts up to its new value. PODIUMS, POSTERS AND STATS The leaderboard puts the top three on a podium and keeps your own row at the bottom. Live events get a poster, a countdown and standings of their own. Statistics are rebuilt: who you are across all time, and how you play in each ruleset. The trophy room shows what you are closest to next. PRIZES YOU OPEN YOURSELF Season places, event milestones and rating and trophy rewards now arrive sealed. Open the envelope when you are ready - what is inside was decided before you opened it. A new trophy shows as a strip during a match and gets its full moment when the match is over. WHILE YOU WERE AWAY Come back after a while and a telegram tells you what moved: your place in the event and the season, results that were settled, and friends who passed you on the ladder. In Pips & Treason, a dossier tells you what your league did without you. A NEW LIAR'S DICE TABLE Every player sits on their own mat with their avatar, cup and dice. The bid names who made it, your hand says what you hold in words, and the clock drains on your turn. Private lobbies seat everyone around the table, with a bot one tap away in any empty chair, and the winner stands at the table on the final screen. FRIENDS Your username is your friend code. Search for someone, share your link, or add the people you just played with from the lobby - they become friends once they accept. Tap a friend to see their rating on every Liar's Dice ladder and their public Pips & Treason record. PRIVATE LEAGUES IN PIPS & TREASON Start a league and invite your friends. At a private table, the host picks the league in the lobby, and every match with at least three members at the table counts: a point when your side wins, a point off when it loses. Only members see it, and a league never touches rating, trophies or your career. PIPS & TREASON, REDRAWN Seats around an oval table, votes that turn over as paper ballots, roles in sealed files and every result on a case-file card. The table marks the operation that decides the match. When it is over, the file opens: your role, the five operations, the moment it turned, and the whole table unmasked one role at a time. The practice now seats you in a match already under way and plays it to the end. ALSO Table and friend links open the app directly. Signing out no longer leaves your gear with the next player. Large titles are no longer clipped at the top, and Friends waits for the connection instead of saying you are offline. ### 1.6.0 — 2026-09-24 SEE WHERE YOU STAND The three ladders were always separate — Wild Ones, Straight Ones and 1v1 were never the same game. Now each one shows you its own rating, and your place among everyone who has played it. Bots are not counted. A HOME SCREEN THAT RANKS Ranked matchmaking and the season are at the top now, with both ladders and your standing side by side. The season says what it needs from you: how many matches until you qualify, and what the next milestone is. PIPS & TREASON: A CAREER OF ITS OWN Statistics that belong to Treason alone. Each role separately, the promises you kept and the ones you broke, your accuracy when you call LIAR, and how the table voted on you. Only public matches count. KNOW WHO LEADS NEXT Every seat shows how many operations until it leads — NEXT, then +2, +3. Voting a team down is not free when you can see who picks the next one. GAME NIGHT A private Treason table now keeps score across matches. One point every time your side wins, traitor or loyal, so an evening of separate matches becomes one contest with a winner. A CHAT YOU CAN FIND THINGS IN Messages in Pips & Treason carry the time they were sent, and the chat divides itself by operation - so you can find what somebody promised three operations ago. The record of a LIAR call now names who was shown the proof, too. ALSO Your avatar comes with you into Pips & Treason now, so a table of ten is easier to read. And the end screen says why the match ended — the operation, whether it was secured or betrayed, and the final score — instead of jumping straight to the result. ### 1.5.0 — 2026-09-17 LEARN LIAR'S DICE IN TWO MINUTES A new tutorial seats you at the real table against Vesper. Make your own bids, read the bid history, call LIAR and watch the reveal count every die. Part 1 teaches the table with Straight Ones; Part 2 shows how Wild Ones change every count. LIAR'S DICE WITH BOTS Practice against bots at a private table. Fill the table or seat up to six, choose Easy, Normal or Hard, and a friend who joins with the code takes a bot's chair. Bot tables never count for rating, trophies or stats. INVITE WITH A LINK Share a link instead of reading out a code. Friends who have the game join your table; friends who don't are shown the way to the App Store. A BETTER PRACTICE TABLE FOR PIPS & TREASON The practice now explains the goal, the roles and your tools before you sit down, lights up what to tap next, and tells you at the end what your choices actually did. MORE TIME TO THINK Every step in Pips & Treason now has at least two minutes, three when the match is on the line, and the hunt for the Auditor has five. Private tables can turn the clock off entirely. KNOW WHO DID WHAT Tap a player to see everything they have done this match: teams they led and joined, how they voted, and every LIAR call — including who was shown the proof. Mark players as HUNTER or AUDITOR. ALSO How to play is now the Rulebook. Bid history in Liar's Dice is a clear button on the table, and repeated chat messages are blocked. ### 1.4.0 — 2026-09-14 PIPS & TREASON WITH BOTS No more waiting for six people. Open a private table, tap FILL WITH BOTS and start a match on your own. A friend who joins with the code takes a bot's chair, and a bot takes over for anyone who leaves mid-match. Choose Easy, Normal or Hard. The bots play both sides, learn how each player at the table tends to vote, and when you are a traitor, the traitor bots plan the operation with you in your private channel. Talk to them in sentences they understand: say what you played, accuse someone, back someone up, or tell your team "I will play my 5 instead." A PRACTICE TABLE Two scripted operations teach the contract, the vote and the dice before a real table does. New players are pointed to it the first time they open Pips & Treason. CHECK THE TEAM BEFORE THE VOTE When a leader proposes a team, every member answers out loud: can they still play the die they were promised? If someone can't, the leader can fix the promises up to twice, or send the team to the vote as it is. The answers can be bluffs. NOTES ON PLAYERS Tap a chair to mark a player SUSPECT, SURE TRAITOR or SURE LOYAL, and keep a note on what they did. Only you can see it. SHARE YOUR MATCH When a match ends, in either game, share a card of who you were at the table and how it went. UPRIGHT ON PHONES Pips & Treason now plays in portrait. Promises are shown as dice, your own name reads YOU, and every LIAR button says what it does. LIAR'S DICE The reveal takes the whole screen. The count climbs die by die toward the bid, every hand lights up the dice that counted, and the verdict lands: IT HOLDS, or BUSTED. A run of correct calls is counted and shown to the table. The table itself is less cluttered, and the bid sits clearly on the felt. ## Apps similar to Pips & Lies | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Liar's Dice Calculator](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/liars-dice-calculator/id6752702636) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Games | | [Rule Referee](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/rule-referee/id6762228503) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Games | | [Scorely: Board Game Scorer AI](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/scorely-board-game-scorer-ai/id6752791546) | 4.9 (30) | Free | Games | | [Howl Werewolf Party Game](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/howl-werewolf-party-game/id6760935954) | — | Free | Games | | [Solitaire Klondike & FreeCell](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/solitaire-klondike-and-freecell/id781405691) | 4.1 (45) | Free | Games | | [Liar's Dice: Play with Friends](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/liars-dice-play-with-friends/id6767948698) | 5.0 (10) | Free | Games | ## More apps by JONAS ORBAKK FJAERAA - [Bløfferiet](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/blfferiet/id6777423992) All apps by JONAS ORBAKK FJAERAA: https://appshunter.io/developer/6773642868 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
