Deckle has unique games you can use to run a fun event in real life with many groups and teams in your community, including the incredible race game, mate's trivia and emoji buddies. The scavenger hunt, or what we call the Incredible race, allows you to create tasks for your participants, such as answering questions, going to places and taking pictures or video and even drawing tasks! What's special, is that every group member will be assigned automatically to a task at least once. That way, everyone is involved! Mates' Trivia is a trivia quiz generated based off your answers to our pre-game survey! Questions and multiple choices are AI generated. Eg. What's your favourite hobby? What would you do if you mom starts yelling at you? Emoji buddies is a game where everyone gets matched into groups with their assigned emoji! Perfect for any number of participants to have fun and get engaged. Make sure to leave feedback and send any feature requests in the app's feedback tab or send an email to lex@deckle.app
