Hey Product Hunt! π I'm youliqn, the maker of Playsaladbowl.
The problem: Every New Year's Eve, my friends and I play Salad Bowl (aka Fishbowl). It's the best party game β but every time, someone has to bring paper slips, find a bowl, and the words get lost or repeated. We tried a few online versions, but they all felt like a to-do list app with a timer. No vibe. No fun.
So I built this.
Three things I obsessed over:
1. The TV mode πΊ β I wanted people to look at a big screen together, not huddle around one phone. Everyone adds words from their own phone via QR code, then the TV handles the timer and scoreboard. It feels like a proper game night.
2. The battle card πΈ β Every game ends with a shareable recap card (score, highlights, fun stats). My friends kept screenshotting the final score anyway, so I made it look good enough to post on IG.
3. Zero friction β‘ β No signup, no app, no account. You land on the page and play in 10 seconds. I want it to be the fastest way from "let's play Salad Bowl" to actually playing.
What's next: I'm working on custom word pack sharing (so you can play with your group's inside jokes), more battle card designs, and a 4th "bonus round" mode.
I'd love your honest feedback:
- Does the TV mode work smoothly for your group?
- What word pack themes are missing?
- What would stop you from using this over paper?
Happy to answer any questions about how I built it (vanilla JS, no framework β kept it simple) or the game itself. Thanks for checking it out! π
