This app is designed to be used with the Scream Game from Funko Games. This cooperative board game is played in real time. It's a fun, tense and fast-paced experience! Work together to play cards as fast as you can. Rush to draw and trade for the cards you need to complete your scene. If you complete all the scenes before time runs out, and before any player is killed, you all win! If not, Ghost Face gets you and you all lose! Ghost Face (voiced by Roger L. Jackson) will call you using this app to taunt, threaten, or stalk players during the game as described in the instructions and how to play video. Make sure to keep working together and prevent players from becoming Ghost Face's next victim! Need more of a challenge? Select Hard Mode in the Settings and Ghost Face calls more often and you have less time to win. The game defaults to Moderate language, but you may choose Strong language for more graphic and intense narration from Ghost Face.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
What's That Smell holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7.

Written reviews complicate that: 50% of What's That Smell's written reviews are positive against 53% of Scream The Game's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
What's That Smell ships an update fortnightly, Scream The Game every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
