Resonance

The Knowing Game

A party game built out of what a twenty-minute survey knows about a room. Everyone takes it beforehand. Nobody sees a single result until you are all together.

On the night you play from your phones — guessing whose words are whose, who is paired with whom, who chose which three things to say about themselves — and at the end every report unseals at once and the room reads about itself out loud.

Sixteen games and a medal ceremony: Whose words are these? · The pattern dossier · Type bingo · The pair ladder · Mystery pair · Whose Two? · The wheel game · Spot the fake · Three of me · Pin the number · Would You Rather · Winner Stays · Said and Seen · Their best match · The crowd · Spot the fake norm. The host picks the order and skips whatever the room is not in the mood for, and every game carries its own how-to-play on the host’s phone.

The same group can play again: every game draws fresh material and remembers what a room has already been shown, so nobody’s whole picture is spent in one evening.

Four players minimum, twenty maximum. Send the invitations the day before: the reports are written in the background overnight.

Where will you play from? I’m playing from this phone — put me on the roster with everybody else. I’ll play on a separate device, or I’m only running the evening.

You can change this at any time from your party page.

Take the survey before the night, and the game is built from your real answers.

Before you join, read our Privacy Policy (opens in a new tab).

I understand that my survey answers will be used to make the games for this party, that my report stays sealed until everyone’s is unsealed together at the end of the night, and that Resonance will email me once the next day about joining. Nothing about me is shown to the room except through the game, and never an answer with my name on it.
