An in-person social game for up to 8 teams, designed for quick setup and high replay value.
The Concept
Wordbowl is a party game where teams compete across multiple rounds with different rule variations. Think of it as a digital facilitator for the classic "fishbowl" game — but with better organization, themed word collections, and seamless round transitions.
Key Features
- Multi-round game flow — three rounds with progressively challenging rules
- Topic-based collections — curated word/phrase sets by theme
- Quick setup — designed for one-phone play initially
- Expandable — future support for multi-device join via game code
- High replay value — randomized selections keep games fresh
Design Philosophy
The UI stays out of the way. The game is about the people in the room, not the app. Clean typography, minimal chrome, and just enough feedback to keep the game moving.
