About

Grilling

Read full description

Grill your friends. Dish out your hot takes. Reveal the imposter. Remix their drawings. Grilling is the ultimate mobile party game built to get everyone laughing. Select one of five unique game modes, share the code, and let your friends join instantly from their own phones. ——— TURN THE HEAT UP Get a scale or create your own, such as Cold to Hot, and receive a secret percentage. Your job is to come up with the perfect word or phrase for that exact spot on the scale. Everyone else must work out where your clue belongs, and the closer they get, the more points they score. Nail the clue and you’ll earn points too. HOT TAKES Ask and answer hilarious questions about your friends and battle it out to write the funniest response. Choose to answer questions about one player, put two friends head-to-head, submit your own questions, or use AI suggestions whenever you need inspiration. Just remember, if you can’t handle the heat, stay off the grill! IMPOSTER Build a board of 12 words with your friends, then watch as everyone except one player is secretly given the same word. Each player submits a clue, trying to prove they belong without giving the answer away, while clues appear live with each player’s thinking time. Spot the panic, question the suspicious clues and vote for whoever you think is bluffing. You can also fill the board with the players themselves, making every clue far more personal. ID GAME One player is secretly given a “Who’s most likely to…” question and ranks everyone in the group. They then mix the real question in with a selection of convincing fakes, leaving everyone else to study the ranking and work out the question. Guess correctly to earn points, submit your own questions to make things even more personal, and prepare to find out exactly how your friends see you. SKETCHY COPIES Unleash your creativity on a canvas and draw anything you like. Another player gets one second to look at your masterpiece before attempting to recreate it from memory, while you make a sketchy copy of someone else’s. Every new version is passed on and copied again, creating a chain of increasingly ridiculous remakes. At the end, reveal the full chain and see how each drawing became completely unrecognisable. ——— BUILT FOR EFFORTLESS GAME NIGHTS Grilling has been designed around one thing: making party games as easy and enjoyable as possible. • Start another game while retaining the same players and scores • Let new players join using the game code • See exactly which players you are still waiting for • Skip a game, round or voting period whenever the host is ready to move on • Set and adjust timers so rounds advance automatically • Choose whether votes, responses and answers are anonymous • Pick your own colourful sausage character • Switch between light mode and dark mode • Kick, block and report disruptive players No repeatedly creating new lobbies. No endlessly waiting for one person to respond. No losing your scores halfway through the night. Just choose a mode, turn up the heat and start grilling your friends. Download Grilling for free and find out who can handle the heat.
