Just one phone
Nobody else installs anything: you pass the phone around, and the votes stay secret.
Party game · 3 to 8 players · one phone
The madmen are on the loose.
It's carnival day at the asylum: every inmate has escaped, and one by one, they knock at your door. Each escapee challenges the player who opens, or drags the whole table in.

The game
A phone passed from hand to hand, and a door someone has to open.
Every escapee, a challenge
Secret votes, duels, mimes, bluffing, quizzes: you win and lose points, pick up items and wear titles.
The Doctor always rings last
He has been chasing his patients all evening. His finale shakes up the ranking right to the end.

Fly swatter, stink bomb, chewing gum… And titles that weigh in: the crown, the dunce cap, Miss's sash.

The finale and the podium
Committal, prescription or medical file, then the podium and the end-of-evening diagnoses.
The escapees
They're knocking at your door
The Psycho
The only truly dangerous one in the asylum. When he walks in, everyone backs away. Except he's found someone just like him.
Miss Universe
She found a sash in a box of carnival junk and crowned herself. Now she needs runners-up.
The Thief
A kleptomaniac eaten up by guilt, he slips everything he steals into the nearest pocket.
The Fortune Teller
She reads the future in the coffee grounds from the infirmary. She already knows who's knocking next.
End of the evening
A podium, and a diagnosis for everyone
Duel royalty, the Psycho's favourite, the biggest cheapskate… The brass band plays, and you start again with the same crowd.

Frequently asked questions
Does each player need a phone?
No, one is enough. It goes from hand to hand, and when a vote is secret, everyone votes in turn without the others seeing.
What about iPhone?
Not yet. Testing starts on Android.
Why go through a Google group?
That's how Google Play opens a closed test: only the group's members can install the app. The group is used for nothing else.
How do I leave the test?
From the test page on Google Play, or by leaving the group. The app stays installed until you remove it.
In which languages?
Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish and Turkish. Words, themes and celebrities are adapted to each language.
