Your phone and your partner’s phone, on different continents if need be, showing the same card at the same time. It takes one link and a phone call, with nothing to install and no account to open.
Starting a game
Choose the heat you want to play: Mild, Hot, Extra hot or any mix. The page makes a link, which you send to your partner however you normally talk. When they open it, you’re both on card 1 of the same deck.
Then get on a call, voice or video, and go. Odd-numbered cards belong to whoever sent the link and even-numbered ones to the other person. Moving on takes one tap. If you get out of step, just say the number out loud and type it in, and you’re both back together.
The deck was built for distance. It mixes truths with prompts that work through a screen or a speaker: voice notes to be played later, scenes you write together in the chat, a song you’d want to be undressed to. The heat climbs through the deck, so card one is a very different proposition from card one hundred.
Why there’s no sign-up
The link carries a seed, which is a short random code, and each phone uses it to work out the same shuffle by itself. Our server isn’t involved in the game at all and has no idea which card you’re on. Nothing you say or type passes through us, since all of that happens on your own call.
Common questions
Do the phones stay in sync by themselves?
They don’t. With no server in the middle, you move along together by agreeing on the card number, which is easy as long as you’re talking.
What about time zones?
Pick a time that’s late for one of you and early for the other.
Can we use an app-connected toy?
If that’s your thing, a few cards invite the conversation, and our guide to long distance relationship games has more ideas that work at a distance.
Set the terms first
Take a moment on the call, before card one, to agree how far tonight goes, whether cameras are on, and what you’d each like to leave out. Being apart means the other person can’t read your face, so say it in words. Either of you can skip a card or turn the camera off whenever you want, and the other one smiles and moves on.
