A phones-as-controllers party game

Commit to the
Bit.

One screen sets the stage. Everyone plays from their own phone. No app to install, no account, no waiting — just a room full of people trying to make each other laugh.

The loop

Four moves, two minutes a turn

Hambone keeps the proven improv loop tight so the laughs never wait on setup.

Take the stage

The host opens a room on the big screen. Players join with a code or QR from any phone browser.

Draw the scene

An Actor gets a character and a question. The Director sets the tone. The room leans in.

Commit

Perform the bit out loud — no stakes but the room's. The wilder the commitment, the better.

Judge & rotate

The audience scores from their phones. Everyone takes the stage. Highest total closes the night.

Why it works

The players are the entertainment

Everything is built to get a group laughing fast and keep the turns moving.

01

No install, no account

Play from any phone browser in seconds. The stage runs in a laptop, tablet, or TV browser.

02

Under two minutes to start

Open a room, share the code, and you're playing. Ordinary turns stay under two minutes too.

03

Two decks, one night

Family-friendly Hambone, or Hamboners: After Dark behind an age gate. Pick your room.

04

An optional guest judge

Turn on the AI announcer for a playful score and a quip. Off by default — the humans always call it.

05

Built for flaky rooms

Drop off the Wi-Fi mid-turn? Rejoin and you're back exactly where you left the scene.

06

Yours to style

Four movie-house themes and display controls in Settings. Set the mood before the show.
