Short games you can finish before the food arrives.

Each one is a duel between two friends, a few minutes long. Here's how they play, filmed in the app.

2 players, 2–4 min a match

Poison

Set the poison trap, survive the bite.

  1. Hide the poison

    While your friend looks away, poison a few dishes on the plate they have to eat from.

  2. Take a bite

    Turn by turn, press and hold a dish on their plate to eat it. Let go to put it back.

  3. Survive

    A poisoned bite costs a heart. Whoever runs out of hearts first loses.

Momo is free. Cake, Pizza, Burger and Sweet come with premium.

How to play Poison

PIN Bluff

Guess the secret PIN code before they guess yours.

  1. Hide your code

    Agree on a length from 3 to 6 digits, then each lock a secret code.

  2. Guess and listen

    Every right digit in the right spot clicks its wheel. With wrong-spot hints on, amber marks a digit that's in the code somewhere else.

  3. Crack it first

    Stuck? Peek at one digit. First to open the other's lock wins.

  2. Unscramble

    Tap the scattered letters into place and press Try. A miss costs a heart.
