10+ party games in one app, in 34 languages. No wifi, no ads, no accounts, nothing to sign up for. WRITTEN IN 34 LANGUAGES, NOT TRANSLATED INTO THEM Every deck is written again in its own language. A party game that has been run through a translator stops being funny at the first joke. The New Year card asks about Ded Moroz in Russia. In Greece the same card asks about Saint Basil, because that is who brings the presents there. The hero everyone grew up on is Doctor Who in Britain, Ultraman in Japan, Shaktimaan in India. In Forbidden Words the four taboo words are collected again for every language. The words a native speaker reaches for first are never the same four. Where a question has no answer in a country, it is replaced by one that does. WHAT'S INSIDE Spy — everyone knows the location except one player. Ask each other tricky questions. Blend in, or find them out. Mafia — the app deals the roles, guards every secret and runs the night, waking each role in turn. With All Access it reads the night out loud, so your host plays along instead of reading it. Impostor — everyone gets the same word. One of you got a different one. One word each around the circle, then vote. Who Am I? — a name stuck to your forehead, and questions the table can only answer yes or no. Truth or Dare — six decks, six moods: from a friendly warm-up to the absurd. Pick the one that fits tonight’s table. Charades — phone on your forehead, tilt down for a hit, tilt up to pass. Most Likely To — read the card out loud, point on three, then explain yourself. Two Truths & a Lie — two facts and one invention. The table decides. 5 Seconds — name three of them before the timer runs out. 20 Questions — think of something. The table gets twenty questions to find it. Forbidden Words — explain the word without saying any of the words you want to say. Word Sprint — two teams, one clock, as many words as you can get through. Fact Auction — bid on a challenge, then prove you can actually do it. Detective — a poisoning at a mountain lodge. Eight suspects, evidence dealt around the table, one accusation at the end. Quest — the room is stuck in a time loop. Twelve rituals break it, and the people at the table perform them. More than 4,000 cards and prompts across the games. AT A REAL TABLE • Secret roles stay secret. One tap opens the card, the next throws it away — and the player after you cannot open yours. • Decks don't repeat themselves. Cards run to the end of the shuffle before any of them come back. • No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking. Your games stay on your phone. • No round has ever needed a signal. It works on a plane, in a car, and at a table with no bars. FREE, AND ALL ACCESS Every game is free in full except two: Detective and Quest. The whole mechanic and a complete starter deck, with nothing switched off mid-round. All Access is a single purchase. Not a subscription, nothing renews, and it restores with your Apple ID: • 24 extra themed decks across the games • The Mafia night read out loud by the app • Detective and Quest • Everything added to the app later Terms of Use: https://wobl-legal.pages.dev/terms Privacy Policy: https://wobl-legal.pages.dev/privacy
Minimum Effort

You have a job. You do not want to do it. Minimum Effort is a satirical workplace strategy game. Every workday runs from 09:00 to 17:00, and everything you can do with those 480 minutes trades three things against each other: the time it saves you, the output it actually produces, and how conspicuous it makes you. The goal is not to be good at your job. It is to find the least amount of work that survives. HOW A DAY WORKS • Do the work, fake the work, or avoid it entirely. Looking busy covers part of a shortfall when the boss checks the deliverables. It never files the report. • The boss patrols the floor. When he walks past in the middle of something you get a couple of seconds to look busy . and less time the hotter you already are. • Repeat an act and it gets riskier every time. The fourth bathroom break is not the first bathroom break. • Colleagues talk. Each one has their own trust in you and their own doubts, and a rumour that crosses the floor twice reaches the boss's office from a direction you were not watching. THE PEOPLE Your accomplice will cover for you. The overachiever notices an unearned win. The snitch keeps a note of when people leave their desk. The gossip has already told two other people. You can chat, delegate your work, ask somebody to cover, genuinely help them . or put your name on their work, which they never forget. PROMOTIONS ARE A TRAP Every rung on the ladder pays more and expects more. Getting promoted is easy. Staying just competent enough not to be fired, one rung higher, with a bigger quota and the same amount of effort . that is the game. FIVE CAREERS - Corporate. Easy. Meetings, decks and a quarterly review nobody reads. - Startup. Chaotic. Twelve people, no structure, and everybody notices everything. - Consulting. Medium. Frameworks, workstreams, and never being the one with the answer. - Investment banking. Extreme. Enormous money, enormous work, and an associate who never leaves. - Home office. Nobody can see you and everything is measured. The green dot is your new boss and it cannot be charmed. Corporate and Startup are included. Consulting and Investment Banking are unlocked together by the Career Pack. Home Office is its own pack. Both are one purchase each, not a subscription, nothing recurring, and either one removes the advertising. THE ONLY SCORE THAT MATTERS Total money earned, divided by hours you actually worked. Retire at the top of a ladder having been paid for years and worked for weeks, and the number on your record board will say so. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No account and no sign-in. Your careers are saved on your device and nothing about them leaves it. It does show advertising, which Google's ad kit loads over the network, and either pack removes it. Minimum Effort is a work of satire. The offices, the colleagues and the careers are invented, and nothing in it is advice about a real job. Recommendations for our other apps load online.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Wobl at none against Minimum Effort's shown. Wobl also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
