Draw in the air with your bare hands. Shout your guesses out loud. Inkfish is the charades party game where nobody touches the screen - you pinch your fingers in mid-air and the drawing appears live, right on top of your face, while two to four friends yell guesses at you. HOW TO PLAY 1. Get your secret word and hold your hand up to the camera. 2. Pinch your fingers to draw. The ink lands live on top of you! 3. Everyone else shouts their guesses out loud - no typing, no keyboard! 4. Guess fast to score more. Sixty seconds a round, and everyone draws once. FEATURES • Air drawing with hand tracking - nothing to hold, nothing to touch, nothing to clean up! • Shout to guess - the app is listening, and the fastest voice in the room takes the points! • Live video party game - every camera is on, so you see the faces and the flailing, not just the drawing. • Sixty-second rounds - quick turns and no waiting, with the pencil passing to everyone once per lap. • 2 to 4 players - crowd around one iPad, or play across four different homes. • No ads, no in-app purchases, and no account to sign up for. Just open it and play! PERFECT FOR Family game night, parties, sleepovers, classrooms, long video calls with people you miss, and any room that needs everyone laughing at once. Pick a name, grab your word, and start waving. Download Inkfish and let the guessing begin!
