Hintrigue is a storytelling party game of hints, decoys, and finding the original.
HOW IT WORKS
• Hint — the storyteller picks a card only they can see and gives a hint (a word, phrase, or sound)
• Decoy — everyone else plays a card from their hand that could fit that hint
• Hunt — the table votes for the original; score if some — but not all — find you
Too obvious and everyone finds you. Too obscure and nobody does. That tension is the whole game.
SURREAL CARDS
• Decks are deliberately ambiguous — clear pictures kill the bluff
• Art is curated for bluffing, not literal illustration
• Language-neutral cards — great for mixed-language tables
PLAY WITH ZERO FRICTION
• Create a room; friends join by QR or code
• Free to join forever — no account required to play
• Zero-install web join so some players never need the app
• Ghost-player demo round so the table never starts empty
• Hand view on phones; table view for the shared screen
• Pick an avatar — your color is your seat and your vote
Built for game night: short rotations, reconnect-safe rooms, and art that stays ambiguous on purpose.
