Find out what your friends really think -- then make them explain themselves. Tiermates is a pass-and-play tier list party game for two players on one device. Each person secretly ranks the same items into S, A, B, C, and D tiers. Then the app reveals your rankings side by side, shows where you matched perfectly and where you completely diverged, runs a "defend it" round so each player has to justify their worst takes, and produces a shareable merged tier list with a compatibility score. --- HOW IT WORKS --- 1. Pick a pack -- foods, travel picks, fave things, hot topics, or build your own with custom items and photos. 2. Pass the phone. Each player ranks every item in secret. 3. The Reveal: see your rankings side by side. Agreed? Shock. Disagreed? Explain yourself. 4. Defend It: a short debate round where each player argues their controversial placements. 5. Share: export your official merged tier list with a compatibility score. --- WHAT YOU CAN PLAY WITH --- Pre-made themed packs cover foods, everyday faves, travel scenarios, and opinion-dividing topics. Create your own pack from scratch -- add any text items or your own photos from your camera roll to rank literally anything. --- PERFECT FOR --- Couples who think they know each other (they don't). Road trips, long flights, and waiting rooms. Game nights when you want something that actually generates conversation. Coworkers who need an icebreaker that isn't awkward. Anyone who has strong opinions and needs a structured way to prove it. --- UNLOCK EVERYTHING --- The free version includes starter packs and custom lists. Your exports include a small watermark. Unlock all packs and remove the export watermark with a single purchase. Pay once, use forever -- no subscription, nothing recurring. Supported by ads — upgrade to Pro for an ad-free experience.
