Pocket Secrets: Offline Secret-Word Party Game for TV + Phones (3 to 30 players)

Everyone gets a secret on their own phone. Somebody's secret is a little different. Talk, laugh, and figure out who.

Pocket Secrets turns your TV into a cozy game-show host. It deals a round code, runs the clue timer, counts down the vote, and opens a wax-sealed envelope for the big reveal. Each player opens the Pocket Secrets file on their phone, types the code, taps their seat, and holds to peek at their secret. No internet, no app store, no accounts, no ads, and no subscriptions. The phones never talk to each other. The code alone tells each phone its secret.

Three ways to play

• Odd Word Out: everyone gets a word, but one player's is slightly different (pancakes vs. waffles), and they don't know it.

• The Sneaky One: the group knows the secret word, but the Sneaky Snowman (or Odd Sock, Lost Sheep…) only knows the category.

• Cozy Village Mystery: who nibbled the cookies? Neighbors know where the jar was hiding, and a Detective gets a helpful hunch.

Five packs: Cozy Family · Winter Holidays · Youth Group & Church · Office & Team · Little Players (6+)

What you get

• Pocket-Secrets-TV-Host.html (opens in any modern browser on a laptop or computer connected to your TV)

Good to know (please read)

• You need a laptop or computer that can show on your TV (HDMI cable or screen mirroring). Smart-TV browsers usually can't open downloaded files.

• Each player needs the phone file on their phone or tablet. Android: open it in Chrome. iPhone/iPad: Apple's Files preview can't run games, so open it in a free HTML-viewer app from the App Store. Short on devices? One phone or tablet can be passed around the circle.

• 3 to 30 players. Ages 8+ (6+ with the Little Players pack). Rounds take about 5–8 minutes.

• Family-friendly: bluffing is gentle and silly, never mean.

Happy Guarantee: if Pocket Secrets doesn't work for your group, email tablelaughgames@gmail.com and we'll help you get it running or refund you.

AI disclosure: the store thumbnail illustration and the room backgrounds in two preview images were created with AI-assisted art (illustrated adults, not photographs of real people). The game, its words, rules, and design were made by Table Laugh Games, and the screens shown are the real product.

License: for personal, family, classroom, church, and in-house workplace use. You may give the phone file to players at your own game night. Please don't resell or share the files publicly.
