Get Camp Weekend — $19

On the trail

  • Trail Treasure
    Everyone secretly gets a different thing to find outdoors. Sixty seconds, then the camp guesses each person's mission.
  • Camp Charades
    A secret camp phrase gets mimed down a team's line, like silent telephone. The last one says what they think it was.
  • Fork in the Trail
    Finish a camping dilemma so the group splits exactly down the middle. Then argue about it round the fire.

Before dinner

  • Campfire Statues
    Dance in your spot while the music plays. When it stops, freeze like whatever the screen shouts.
  • Camp Awards
    Secret votes for the titles of the weekend. Guess who the camp picked before the reveal.
  • Campfire Doodles
    A phrase becomes a drawing becomes a guess, all the way round the fire. See how far it drifts.

Round the fire

  • Tall Tales
    One true outdoor story from someone round the fire, hidden among the fakes. Find the real one.
  • Whose Trip Was That?
    The best view, the worst weather, the longest road. Guess whose trip it was.
  • Campfire Legend (also comes with Pro)
    Everyone adds one line, seeing only the line before. Read the legend aloud.
  • The Ghost Light (also comes with Pro)
    A lakeside campfire, a ghost story about a drowned ferrywoman, and a lantern that really does appear on the water at ten o'clock. By the time everyone walks back from the dock, the family kitty is gone. Read it aloud round the fire, then accuse someone — in secret.
  • Lanterns Out (also comes with Pro)
    A Wolf hides among you. A Lamplighter peeks behind one door. At dawn, you vote.
  • The Lake Cup (also comes with Pro)
    The last night of summer camp, a tie for the trophy, and by breakfast the Lake Cup is gone. Read the mystery aloud, then accuse someone — in secret.

Last night

  • Tent Talk
    The end-of-day check-in: the best bit, the hard bit, and what you want from tomorrow.
  • Letters from the Last Night
    Everyone seals a short note to the camp. It opens the next time this group plays, and the camp guesses who wrote it.

How it works

  • Paid once. $19, plus any tax where you live. Nothing renews, and it isn't part of Pro.
  • Kept by your group. You name the group when you buy; everyone with the group's link can play on the group's devices.
  • Guests need nothing. Only the host's screen needs the pack. Guests join on their own phones with a room code, or you pass one device round.
  • Refundable for 14 days from the pack's page, on the terms in our Terms.

Afterwards: the book

Whatever you seal at the end of a game — a toast, a piece of advice, a prediction — goes into your group's Almanac. From Camp Weekend's page you can then order the book of it: a 6 × 9 inch hardcover or a PDF made only from what was sealed in this pack's games. The book is bought separately.

Good to know

The games play on one screen; everyone else can join on their phones. Ages 10 and up.
