Poof

About

Poof is a party game for 2 to 12 players on Android and iOS. One player has a bomb on their screen. They tap it to add time to a hidden fuse, then fling it off the edge of their screen. Each phone's screen edge is secretly split into slices, one per other player, so the direction of your swipe decides who gets the bomb, and it flies onto their screen at the speed you threw it. When the fuse runs out, whoever has the bomb is out.

Highlights

• 2–12 players, phones as a shared board
• Hidden fuse keeps the tension up
• Server-authoritative, so no cheating
• Fully offline vs 1–11 CPU bots

How it works

1. 1The server owns everything that matters: rooms with 4-letter join codes, the fuse timer, which slice leads to whom, and who is out. Phones only send taps and throws.
2. 2Each tap adds a hidden 0.5–1.5 seconds to the fuse, which wraps back to 0 after 15 seconds, so nobody knows how long is left.
3. 3Slices are reshuffled every round, and when someone is eliminated everyone sees which slice led to whom.
4. 4The app runs the exact same rule code as the server, so Play vs CPU (1–11 bots, with difficulty) works fully offline.
5. 5Tests check slice assignment for every group size from 2 to 12 over 300 random seeds, plus fuse logic, a full WebSocket round and CPU games.

Why it matters

It's a quick, physical party game for groups in the same room. It turns phones into a shared game board with no extra hardware, works offline against bots, and earns money through ads.
