Padeba – The yes-or-no party debate game Think you know your friends? Wait until you hear their answers. Padeba is the party game where everyone has to answer YES or NO, with no explaining. A question pops up, someone reads it out loud, then after a 3, 2, 1 countdown, everyone answers at the same time. No excuses. No backpedaling. Just instant reactions, hot takes, unpopular opinions and the kind of awkward moments everyone secretly loves. Pregame, house party, group trip, girls’ night, date night or just hanging out with friends: Padeba turns your phone into an instant icebreaker and a nonstop conversation starter. Spicy questions that actually start debates No bland questions here. Padeba serves up short, direct and sometimes seriously awkward debates: Would you get back with an ex if they truly changed? Is flirting by text already cheating? Should the man pay on the first date? Is the real red flag a friend who never criticizes your partner? Would you let your partner go clubbing without you? Can you separate the artist from their views? Should a real friend take your side even when you’re wrong? The questions are made to get laughs, build tension, break the ice and reveal what the people around you really think. Dealbreaker or no big deal? Hot take or hard truth? Everyone answers at once, and nobody gets to hide behind an explanation. A category for every mood Pick your mood and start the game: Party Set the vibe, spill the tea and kick off the debates nobody saw coming. Girls’ Night Secrets, friendship, jealousy, loyalty and the truths you don’t always dare to say. Couples Love, exes, trust, cheating, the future and questions that can really sting. Made for date night. Hot Attraction, desire, temptation and spicier topics for nights that get out of hand. Politics Society, money, roles in relationships and opinions that truly divide the room. Random A mix of every category, so you never know what’s coming next. Easy to start, impossible to forget Add your players’ names Pick a category Read the question out loud Count down: 3, 2, 1 Everyone answers YES or NO No explaining allowed Some questions even call out your players by name, so nobody stays safe for long. Want it even messier? Make up your own penalties for anyone who starts explaining, or for the side with the fewest votes. Perfect for… pregames and nights in with friends college parties group trips and vacations girls’ nights date nights meeting new people those moments when nobody knows what to do No cards, no board, no prep: one phone, a few friends and the urge to find out who’s really honest.
