About

A playtest with unbiased friends on Discord showed that gameloop is pretty fun. But be warned: the tutorial is a confusing mess right now. Working on it.
Requires 2+ players, unless you just want to play around on your own.

Guess My Nonsense is a creative party game for 2–8 players. Everyone gets a secret prompt, then builds a scene in private, and  takes a turn showing it to the room.

Arrange props, record their movements, and let your creation do the talking while everyone else tries to guess what you meant. Take your turn on stage, earn points, and celebrate each other's questionable artistic decisions with reaction stickers. Bring your friends or meet a new cast. Acting talent is optional. A suspicious amount of confidence helps.

Hold Middle Mouse Button — Choose a tool.
Physgun: hold Left Mouse Button — Grab and move props. Scroll to adjust distance; hold E to rotate.
