Install 43 party games as an app

Party Games installs from your browser in two taps. You get a home-screen icon, a full-screen window with no address bar, and every game playable with no connection — without an app store, an account or a single megabyte of waiting.

Free · no account · about 5–10 MB · works offline

There is no Party Games in the App Store or on Google Play, and there is not going to be. Everything here is a website, which is a genuine advantage rather than a compromise: nothing to review, nothing to update through a store, no permissions to grant, and no account standing between you and a game of Imposter thirty seconds from now.

Installing it turns that website into something indistinguishable from an app. Your phone keeps an icon on the home screen, opens it full-screen without the browser chrome, and stores the whole thing — 43 games and 61,400+ prompts, questions and cards — locally. From then on it starts instantly and works with the connection off.

The steps differ by platform because Apple and Google disagree about how this should work. Both take under a minute.

Install on iPhone or iPad

  1. Open play.launchit.ae in Safari on your iPhone or iPad.

  2. Tap the Share button — the square with an arrow coming out of it, in the bar at the bottom of Safari.

  3. Scroll down the share list and tap "Add to Home Screen".

  4. Tap "Add". The icon appears on your home screen and opens full-screen with no address bar.

Safari only — iOS does not let other browsers add to the home screen. If you are reading this in Chrome on an iPhone, open the page in Safari first.

Install on Android

  1. Open play.launchit.ae in Chrome, Edge, Samsung Internet or Brave.

  2. Tap "Install app" on this page, or open the browser menu and choose "Install app" / "Add to Home screen".

  3. Confirm. The app installs to your launcher like any other app.

  4. Open it once with a connection so every game is stored on the device.

Chrome, Edge, Samsung Internet and Brave all support this. Firefox on Android uses Menu → Add to Home screen instead.

Install on a computer

  1. Open play.launchit.ae in Chrome or Edge.

  2. Click the install icon in the address bar, or open the browser menu and choose "Install Party Games".

  3. It opens in its own window, with no tabs and no address bar.

Safari on macOS uses File → Add to Dock. Firefox on desktop does not support installing web apps — use it in a normal tab, which works exactly the same.

How the offline part works

The first time you open the site, it quietly stores a copy of every page on your device: the home screen, all 43 game screens, all 43 rules pages, and every collection. That is the ~5 MB. The prompt libraries travel with the game code, so the questions, words and cards are already there too.

After that, opening the app does not need the network at all. It reads from the local copy first and checks for a newer version in the background, which is why it starts instantly even on a good connection. If something has changed, you get a small "Update available" prompt with a Reload button rather than a page that changes under you mid-round.

Nothing about your group ever leaves the device. The roster, the scores, the content level and each game's "already used" history live in your browser's local storage. There is no server to sync with — which is also why clearing your browser data resets everything.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a party games app to download?

This is it — Party Games installs straight from the browser instead of from an app store. You get a home-screen icon, a full-screen app window and full offline play, without an Apple ID, a Google account or a store download. It is the same site, kept on your device.

Is it free?

Completely. There is no paid tier, no locked games, no ads and no account. Every one of the games and every prompt is available the moment the page loads, installed or not.

How much storage does it use?

Around 5 to 10 MB after the first open — the pages, the icons and the prompt libraries. Each game adds a little more the first time you play it. For comparison, a typical app-store game is 50 to 500 MB.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Open the site once with a connection and everything you need is stored on the device: all the rules pages, all the game screens and every prompt, question and card. After that it runs in aeroplane mode, in a car park, or anywhere the signal has gone.

Do I need to install it to play?

No. Installing only adds the home-screen icon and the full-screen window. The site works exactly the same in a normal browser tab, and it still caches itself for offline use either way.

How do I uninstall it?

The same way as any app. On iOS, press and hold the icon and choose Remove App. On Android, press and hold and choose Uninstall. On desktop, open the app menu and choose Uninstall. Nothing is left behind on a server, because nothing was ever sent to one.

Does it collect any data?

No. Player names, scores and settings live in your browser on your own device and are never uploaded. There is no account, no analytics profile and no server holding anything about your group.

Will it update itself?

Yes. When a new version is published the app picks it up in the background and offers a "Reload" button rather than interrupting a game. Everything keeps working offline in the meantime.

Or just start playing

Installing is optional. Every game works in a normal browser tab.
