👥Party: Teams
Two teams. Draw cards, describe the book, beat the clock. Classic party energy — describe the plot, act out the character, do whatever it takes without saying the title.
⚔️Party: Battle Royale
2–8 players, every reader for themselves. Last one standing in the Face Off earns points. Highest score after five rounds wins.
⚡Speed Round
One minute. Bowl of cards. Name the book, the author, the character — as fast as you can. No teams, no strategy, just pure recall.
🤖Solo vs HAL
Face off against HAL in a head-to-head category challenge, then race the clock on quiz cards. Three difficulty levels: HAL 1000 (Learning) / HAL 3000 (Calculating) / HAL 9000 (Omniscient). Good luck.
How a round works (Teams)
Face Off — A category card flips — something like "Books Set During a War." One player from each team goes head to head, taking turns naming books. First one who blanks loses. The winner gets control of the round.
Pick Your Cards — The winning team draws six book cards and picks the three they want to clue. The other three go to their opponents. Choose the ones you can describe or act out under pressure.
Clue Round — The clock starts. Describe the plot, act out a scene, hint at the characters — whatever it takes without saying the title or author. Tap "Got it" when your team guesses, or pass to move on.
Steal — If the first team nailed all three, they get a shot at stealing one the other team missed. One bonus point if they pull it off.
First to 10 wins.
🎙️ Voice detection
Bookstack has live voice detection — just say your answer out loud, no tapping required. No app, no special hardware. It just works.
Why it works
You don't need to have finished the book. You just need to remember enough to clue it — and someone at the table always does. Cards across every genre, tier, and era. Difficulty sliders so casual readers and superfans can share the same game without anyone feeling lost.
