Fill the hat
Each guest writes a few famous people, animals, films or songs on their phone. It all goes into one shared hat, and the system removes duplicates itself.

Pass
The Hat is the classic game where everyone writes names into a hat and teams take turns imitating and guessing — now played straight on guests' own phones, with no slips to lose.
Guests add famous people, animals, films and songs. The system builds the teams, hands out the turns and keeps score and time. You imitate, guess, laugh — and the team with the most points wins.
How many can play?
The Hat is played in teams of two, so from 4 players upward. Everyone adds slips via QR, the system builds the teams automatically, and you take turns imitating. The more teams, the more of a battle for first place.
How it works
Imitate and guess
The system builds the teams (no picking your own) and hands out turns. You take turns drawing a slip and imitating it — voice, quote, traits or singing only — while your teammate guesses against the clock.
Three rounds
The same slips are played across three rounds of rising difficulty: imitate freely → one word → mime only. Points add up, and the team with the most at the end wins.
Free to play
The Hat is completely free — no payment, just scan the QR code and play.
Guests fill the hat
The slips are your own, so the game is about what you know — celebrities, in-jokes and all.
Team play with bite
The system builds the teams, so no one picks their own. Rivalry and cheering across the table.
Live on the big screen
Scores, the countdown and whose turn it is show on the big screen — the slip is seen privately only by the imitator.
