BoardGame Timers brings your favorite classic board games to life with the most realistic digital timer recreations ever built for iPhone and iPad. Whether you're mid-game and your sand timer is nowhere to be found, or you just want the full tactile experience without the physical pieces, BoardGame Timers has you covered. Every timer is painstakingly recreated to match the look, feel, sound, and behavior of the original physical timer โ right down to the color of the sand, the style of the frame, and the exact duration. 20 ICONIC BOARD GAME TIMERS - Boggle (1972) โ Classic 3-minute amber sand hourglass with flowing grain animation - Pictionary (1985) โ Bold 60-second LCD display with flip-digit countdown - Taboo (1989) โ Warm wood-frame hourglass, 60 seconds of white sand - Scattergories (1988) โ Egg-shaped blue sand timer, 3 full minutes - Perfection (1965) โ 60-second mechanical wind-up with spinning gear cluster and satisfying tray-pop at the end - Outburst (1986) โ Chunky 60-second digital display, high energy - Perquackey (1955) โ Slim gold sand hourglass, 3 minutes - Mad Gab (1996) โ Wide-body 2-minute sand timer - Alias (1994) โ Sleek teal hourglass, 60 seconds - Cranium (1998) โ Deep purple sand hourglass, 60 seconds - Articulate! (1992) โ Bold red wide-body hourglass, 3 minutes - Time's Up!

(2003) โ Intense strobe-flash digital display, 20 seconds - 5 Second Rule (2008) โ Pressure meter and giant 5-second countdown with shake feedback BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED Every timer is rendered with custom animations built from the ground up. Sand grains fall and accumulate with realistic physics. Fuses burn down grain by grain with a glowing spark. Gears spin, needles sweep, and displays flip โ all at a silky-smooth 60 frames per second. SOUNDS THAT TAKE YOU BACK Authentic sound effects for every timer type: hissing sand, mechanical ticking, digital beeps, wind-up clicks, alarm bells, and โ for Pass the Bomb โ a satisfying explosion when the fuse hits zero. FEEL EVERY SECOND Haptic feedback is woven throughout: a firm tap when you start, gentle pulses every 10 seconds, a warning buzz with 5 seconds to go, and a strong rumble when time's up. Playing on a physical device has never felt more like holding the real thing. BUILT FOR GAME NIGHT The screen never dims while a timer is running โ no more tapping to keep it awake mid-game. A clear Start / Pause / Reset control sits at the bottom of every timer screen, and an optional 5-second early warning beep gives players a heads-up before time expires. DESIGNED TO LAST Clean home screen grid shows all 20 timers at a glance, each with a live animated preview. Search by name or decade. Full iPhone and iPad support. Looks stunning in dark mode. No subscriptions. No ads. No accounts. Just timers.
