A free party game for 3-12 players: everyone knows the word, except the Fox
Everyone secretly sees the word; the Fox sees only the category. Go round with one spoken clue each in a 30-second round; at 15 seconds a Twist card flips (mime lap, one-syllable clues, opposites and more) and the second lap follows it. Then point at the Fox. A caught Fox can still steal the round by picking the word from six. Play on one phone passed around, or with a room code so each player uses their own phone.

FAQ
Why not Jackbox?
Jackbox party packs are polished bundles of several games, $19.99-$29.99 on Steam, and one person runs them on a computer or console with a shared screen. Hushfox is one game, free, and needs only phones.
How many players?
3 to 12 in one room.
Does everyone need a phone?
No. Pass one phone around, or use room codes so each player has their own.
Which languages?
English free; Spanish, Portuguese (BR), German and French packs come with the full game.
Limits?
One game, not a bundle; room mode needs an internet connection; it is a spoken-clue game, best in the same room or on a call.
