Kitty party games
Hosting the kitty this month? Skip printing tickets and hunting for a number board. These games run on everyone's phone: Tambola calls the numbers and checks claims by itself, and the quiz games keep score for you.
And when a few members are out of town, they can join over a video call and still play.
Our picks
5 games · tap to play-
Tambola
The kitty party favourite. Everyone gets a ticket on their phone, numbers are called automatically, and false claims are caught instantly.
-
Emoji Picture
A Bollywood quiz: guess the film from emojis. Everyone plays on their own phone and the highest score wins.
-
Who's the Imposter?
One member doesn't know the secret word. Can the group catch her before she guesses it?
-
Bullshit Trivia
Strange true facts versus everyone's made-up answers. Lots of laughing, a little cheating.
-
Filmle
Everyone guesses the same daily film title — compare scores over chai.
A ready-made kitty plan (about an hour)
- Warm-up quiz, 5 minutes: everyone plays Emoji Picture at the same time. Highest score wins a small prize.
- Tambola, 20–25 minutes: prizes for Early Five, Top Line, Middle Line, Bottom Line, Corners and Full House.
- Who's the Imposter, 3 rounds: great while the food is being served.
- Bullshit Trivia to finish, if the gossip runs out (it won't).
Small prize ideas
- Chocolates or a box of mithai for each Tambola line.
- A bigger prize for Full House.
- A funny "worst bluffer" award for the Imposter round.
- The quiz winner chooses next month's theme.
Questions & answers
Who calls the Tambola numbers?
The game does. Numbers from 1 to 90 are called one at a time and shown on everyone's screen, so the host gets to play too.
How are claims checked?
When someone claims a prize, the game checks their ticket instantly. No more arguments over a false claim.
Can members join from another city?
