## What is Waiting Room?

Waiting Room is a party game app built for a single shared phone — perfect for killing time anywhere with friends. No internet required, no accounts, just pass the phone and play.

PARTY GAMES

Charades
Pick a deck, set a timer, and hand the phone to the actor. Tilt the phone up to mark a word correct, tilt down to skip. Cards auto-advance and the results screen shows every word at the end. Decks include Animals, Countries, Cars, Celebrities, Sports, and Video Games.

Imposter
One player secretly gets a vague hint while everyone else sees the real word. Players discuss, vote on who the Imposter is, and find out if they got it right. Supports 3–10 players across categories like Nature, Food & Drink, Sports, Tech, Entertainment, and Everyday Life.

Trivia
A full quiz game with 10 categories — General Knowledge, Movies, Sports, Science, History, Music, Food, Geography, Video Games, and Pop Culture. 30+ questions per category, shuffled every game.

Wavelength
Players guess where a hidden target sits on a spectrum between two opposites. A full dial-based guessing game with categories and scoring.

Sketch (New)
One player draws a secret prompt while everyone else studies the drawing and submits a fake answer. Players vote on which answer is real. Fool your friends, earn points for every person you deceive. Includes a full drawing canvas with 9 colors, 3 brush sizes, undo, and clear.

Bluff (New)
A fill-in-the-blank bluffing game. A question has a blank — everyone submits a fake answer trying to fool the group. Points for guessing the real answer and for every person your fake answer tricks. Ends with a fun fact after every round.

TWO PLAYER

8-Ball Pool
A fully custom physics engine with drag-to-shoot cue mechanics, an extended aim line with ghost ball preview, ball-to-ball collisions, wall bouncing, friction, and full BCA 8-ball rules.

Tic Tac Toe
Classic two-player Tic Tac Toe, pass and play.

Chess
Full chess game, pass and play on a shared screen.

Air Hockey
Fast-paced two-player air hockey on a single phone.
