Just Play FreeShort answer The best party games for one phone are the Imposter Game (everyone gets a secret word except the spy), Who's the Spy (one player gets a slightly different word), Tilt! Charades (hold the phone to your forehead while friends act), Puck Pals air hockey for two, and Chinese checkers for up to six. All of them are free in the browser on Just Play Free, with no app or account.
The picks
Imposter GameBest for 3–8 friends talking around a table. One person is the spy and has to bluff.
Who's the Spy?A trickier version: the odd player gets a similar word and doesn't know it. Also in Cantonese (誰是臥底).
Tilt! CharadesBest for loud groups. Hold the phone to your forehead, friends act, tilt down when you guess.
Puck PalsBest for two players face to face: phone flat on the table, one thumb each.
Marble CheckersBest for a calmer table game: Chinese checkers for 2, 3, 4 or 6 players, or against the computer.
Paper FortsThe Hong Kong playground game 天下太平: rock-paper-scissors, then build and attack forts.
How to choose
- 3 to 8 people who like to talk and bluff: start with the Imposter Game, then try Who's the Spy.
- A big or noisy group, or kids: Tilt! Charades works for any number of players taking turns.
- Just two people: Puck Pals for something fast, Chinese checkers or 天下太平 for something slower.
