About

Rolling Stone Timer

Features
Read full description

Ready to rock, but can’t get your buzzer working? Don’t panic, because this app has everything you need to get you playing, partying and power-sliding your way through the Rolling Stone game. There’s one setting for the Head-to-Head Round and another for the Charades Round. PLEASE NOTE: This timer is intended to be used with the Rolling Stone Party Game by Big Potato. If you don’t own the game, this app can only be used as a rock-n-roll egg timer (but it would be a very undercooked egg). The Rolling Stone Game is made by Big Potato, an indie board game company from East London. Rolling Stone is a rock ’n’ roll music game that’s not just for music buffs. All you need to know are the names of some very famous bands, and have heard a famous song or two. Split into two teams, then get ready to battle it out and collect as many Artist Cards as you can. To win, you’ll have to survive the shout-out buzzer round, then move onto the charades round, where you’ll be describing bands and humming songs for your team to guess. For those about to play — we salute you.

TapRush is a fast and funny word party game where quick thinking wins. Pick a category, start the timer, and race to say a word before time runs out. Your word must match the category and start with one of the available letters. Once a letter is used, tap it away and it cannot be used again. It sounds simple, but the pressure builds quickly. The timer is ticking, letters are disappearing, and even easy words can suddenly be hard to remember. That is where TapRush gets fun. Play quick rounds with friends, family, classmates, or any group that enjoys simple word challenges. TapRush is made for game nights, parties, road trips, school breaks, waiting rooms, family evenings, and casual moments when you want a social game that gets everyone laughing. How to play: Choose a category. Say a word that fits the category. Make sure the word starts with an available letter. Tap the letter to remove it. Pass the turn to the next player. Keep going until someone runs out of time or all letters are used. Every round feels different. Some rounds are relaxed and easy, while others become loud, chaotic, and competitive in seconds. One player gets stuck, another finds the perfect word, and suddenly everyone is laughing. TapRush includes quick rounds, category-based challenges, timer pressure, different difficulty modes, and custom timer settings. You can play casually, make it competitive, or turn it into a chaotic party challenge. Whether you want a relaxed family game, a travel game, or a tense battle against the timer, TapRush gives you quick fun in every round. Think fast. Tap the letter. Pass the turn. Beat the timer.
