Gather your friends and family for a hilarious game of social deduction, bluffing, and deception! Everyone receives a secret prompt, except the impostor, who gets a fake secret prompt or no prompt at all. Discuss, bluff, and vote. Can you figure out who the impostor is before they blend in? Treat Impostor Madness!, just like any other board game! Put the outside world on pause and enjoy the moment with your friends and family! How To Play: 1. Enter your name and personalize your avatar with a photo or an emoji 2. Create a Local or Online Lobby (or a Single Device game) with your preferred configuration, and a Lobby Code will be automatically generated 3. Share that Lobby Code with your friends, so they can join your lobby Note: Single Device games have no Lobby Code, since everyone plays on one device. 4. Each round, players receive the same secret prompt, except the impostor 5. Discuss the prompt without saying it directly 6. Vote for who you think the impostor is 7. Score points for correct votes, successful bluffs, and bonus guesses! Game Modes: • Classic (Blind Impostor) Instead of the secret prompt, impostors see: YOU ARE THE IMPOSTOR!

Pickle Machines

Features

Some machines do one job. Pickle Machines do it the silliest way possible. GOOD FOR BUSY BRAINS Every puzzle rewards a little planning and a lot of what if. It is gentle problem solving that feels like play, not homework. Kids build the logic without noticing. Grown ups get quietly hooked too. Every level gives you a goofy goal, pop the balloon or drop the ball in the bucket, and a box of parts. You build a wild chain reaction to make it happen. Press Run, watch it go, laugh when it flops, tweak it, and win. WHAT YOU BUILD WITH Trampolines, fans, seesaws, conveyor belts, magnets, cannons, portals, dominoes, candles, spinning wheels, ropes, pulleys, scissors, gears, balloons, cartoon bombs, and a cat. Twenty six parts, each with its own trick. HOW IT PLAYS Tap a part to drop it in. Drag it, spin it, flip it. Hit Run and the whole machine springs to life. Edit puts every part back exactly where it was, so kids can experiment with zero fear of breaking anything. No clock. No wrong way to tinker. MADE TO BE KID SAFE No ads. No in-app purchases. No pop-ups asking for money. Nothing to buy and nothing to sign up for. It works offline, anywhere, and progress saves right on the device. THIRTY FOUR HANDMADE LEVELS Twenty four play with the phone sideways and ten play with it upright. Each one teaches a new part, then dares you to combine them. There is a test bench too, running every single part at once. Build it. Run it. Watch the chaos work.
