What your group plays
- The auction. Everyone gets a budget and bids for players, films or anything else. The best team wins, and the room argues about every bid.
- Imposter and Charades. One of you doesn't know the word. Or act it out while your phone tells you what to play.
- Your own game. Type a theme like "our office", "our trip to Rome" or "90s films", and the game is ready in about ten seconds.
- No big screen needed. Every player sees the game on their own phone, on the sofa or on a video call. Add a TV when you want a show.
A free Kahoot! alternative for large groups?
Up to 4 players it's free. From 5 to 20, the host pays €4.99 once and keeps the pass for every game on that phone. For a whole office party, in teams with hundreds of phones, the Event Pass is €99 for the night. There's no subscription to cancel.
See all pricesWhen Kahoot! is the better pick
Kahoot! is built for teaching. Use it for a lesson, homework or training, or when you need 10 players for free. Deadline Day isn't made for classrooms. It's made for the evening after.
Questions people ask
Is Deadline Day a game for adults?
Yes. It is made for parties with friends, family and colleagues: bidding auctions, Imposter, Charades, This or That, Blind Ranking and quizzes. It is not made for classrooms.
Can we play without a big screen?
Yes. Every player sees the game on their own phone, so you can play on the sofa or on a video call. A TV or laptop screen is optional and makes it a show for the room.
Can I make my own game like a Kahoot! quiz?
Yes, and it is free. Type a theme, such as your office, your city or the films of the 90s, and Deadline Day builds a party game in about ten seconds. You see the whole game before anyone plays it.
Does anyone need an app or an account?
No. Players scan a QR code or open a link and play in the phone's browser. No sign-up, no download and no ads.
Can I turn the music off?
Yes. Music and sound effects switch off separately, so you can keep the effects and play your own music in the room.
What about a Christmas party with the whole office?
Use the Event Pass: €99 for 72 hours, your own games, and the whole room in up to 8 teams on the big screen.
