Bawkwards Party Game
Read full descriptionHide full description
Hear a phrase backwards. Say it back on camera. Let AI help judge who came the closest. Bawkwards is a multiplayer backwards video party game for families, friends, couples, parties, and game night. It is not just reverse audio. Players take turns hearing a backwards word or phrase, recording their best terrible attempt on video, and watching Bawk, our chicken mascot, flip it forward so everyone can hear what actually came out. Sometimes it is close. Sometimes it is completely wrong. Either way, the replay is the best part, because you get to see how close you really came and the ridiculous faces you made trying. Bawkwards turns the reverse audio challenge into a real party game with video tries, AI-assisted judging, funny reveals, themed packs, winners, rematches, and shareable replay moments. Why people keep playing: • Multiplayer turns make it feel like a real party game • Video tries make every reveal funnier • AI-assisted judging helps crown the winner • One phone and one app is all you need • Shareable replays turn the best mistakes into moments • Daily Challenges let everyone try the same phrase and compare scores • Practice Mode lets you warm up solo • Themed packs keep the game feeling new • Custom prompts let you add names, inside jokes, and house rules Play your way: Quick Play - Jump right into a fast, free round. Family Pack - Clean prompts for kids, parents, grandparents, cousins, and family game night. Date Night - Flirty, funny prompts for couples, crushes, and double dates. Party Pack - Bigger laughs, louder reactions, and prompts built for groups. Kids Pack - Silly, safe prompts made for younger players and family fun. Hard Mode - Twistier phrases for players who think they are too good at this. Custom Pack - Add your own names, inside jokes, house rules, and personal prompts. Fowl Mouth Mode - An optional adult-only mode for grown-up game night. It is off by default and protected behind an age gate. New Challenge Each Day - The Free Daily Challenge gives everyone with the app the same phrase and grades each attempt, so you can test your skills, compare your score, and share your best replay on social media. Free Unlimited Practice Mode - Warm up solo before you play with a group. Use it at game night. Use it at a party. Use it with your kids. Use it on a date. Use it with that one friend who grabs the phone and says, "Give me that. I got this." --They do not got this. Say it backwards. Hear it forwards. Watch the replay. Crown the winner. -- Bawkwards is our first game, and our family built it together. We put a lot of time, effort, testing, laughing, fixing, and replaying into making it genuinely fun. We wanted it to feel like a real game, not just a voice reverser, and we will keep improving it with new packs, better features, and more ways to play. We'd love for you to download it and give it a try. --
