A photo flashes. Guess whose gallery it came from. Gallery Gamble turns your camera rolls into a fast-paced party game. Gather 3 or more friends, connect nearby, and race to name who owns each photo. Someone hosts. Everyone else joins the lobby by entering a code. Each player locks in a stack of photos from their library (4, 9, or 16) and can re-roll any photo they don't want in the game. A photo fills the screen: tap who you think took it before the fuse runs out. Pinch to zoom if you need a closer look. Faster correct guesses score more. Then the owner is revealed, and you see exactly who pointed at whom. The host sets the mood: how many photos get played, a timer from 1 to 30 seconds, and whether rounds end on the vote reveal or a live leaderboard. Game Center tracks games played, wins, and achievements between nights out. Why you'll love it * 3+ player local multiplayer on iPhone and iPad * Fast rounds, a burning fuse, and speed-based scoring * Mid-game standings and an end-of-game leaderboard * No internet required to play * Perfect for parties, friends, and family Private by design No accounts. No servers. No cloud uploads. Photos stay on the devices in the room and are exchanged directly between players. Your camera roll never gets uploaded to a server. Turn your camera roll into a party game. Privacy Policy: https://gallerygamble.com/privacy_policy Terms & Conditions: https://gallerygamble.com/terms_and_conditions
