Lobby and UX overhaul • Tonight's game now fills the top of the lobby. • The game's rules sit on that billboard. • A more unified theme. • The game name tile wears the host's emoji over a gradient drawn from it; players see the name large on one line. • Tighter player list, and swiping a player now works like Mail. New-user tutorials • Welcome, found-a-game, create-a-game and joined-a-game pop-ups in one voice, built so they can never get in the lobby's way. • Hosts get their own three-step tutorial the first time they run a game. Hosting and reliability • A host can find the way back to a large game: the session remembers them, returning reclaims the seat, and a stand-in host hands it back. Stepping away from a fixed-host game holds the seat. • Nearby games notice when a small game changes its settings. • More responsive client-side 'ready' check mark. Games and content • Sketch pass-the-phone hand-off is a shared "Up next" card with a two-tap reveal. Abandoned games keep the turns that finished, and keepsakes now save on Apple TV. • Abandoned games no longer feed their prompts back into the next draw, so fewer repeats. • Bluff's grab bag grew adds over 100 prompts, some more ambiguous Would You Rather dilemmas were rewritten.

Here's a What's New for 1.4.2: • Smoother game picking for the host. Collapsed game picker tiles after game set-up keeps the hosts focus on the player list. • Improved custom bracket creation and management, including quicker list broadcasting and editing. • Minor bug fixes

WHAT'S NEW IN 1.4 All devices • New game: Opposites. A prompt with no right answer — "What's the opposite of a tree? Of zero? Of Tuesday?" Everyone writes one anyway. • Bring your own bracket lists. Create your own list, one 'thing' per line, give it a name and an emoji, and run a bracket on it. Up to 20 lists per device. • Bring your own bracket lists. Mark a list Shared and it can travel with you when you join any game. • All devices will need to update to 1.4 to play together — older versions can't join a 1.4 game; although older versions still work with each other. Apple TV • Sketch: Pass the phone. A whole room could now play through a single phone, with the Apple TV hosting. Add people by name as they join in — they score under their own names, show up on every board, and stay for the rest of the night. • Opposites plays on the big screen: the prompt fills the wall while the room types, then the numbered ballot while the judges decide, then every answer with its author and points at the reveal. Like Bluff, the TV watches while everyone types on their phones.

WHAT'S NEW IN 1.3 All devices • New game: Bluff. A question with a difficult answer — players secretly write a convincing fake, the truth hides among them, and the room votes for what's real. • Bluff is built for big parties: with four or more players, a few of you write each round while the rest pick — and the seats rotate, so everyone gets a turn to lie. Ships with a 154-prompt Grab Bag pack. • Every Bluff night is saved as a keepsake in the lobby — the prompts, the truths, and who fell for what — with a share card for the group chat. • A refreshed app icon. • Trivia's default setup draws from the "Lived Knowledge" tier. • Hosts of big games can lock the lobby right from the join-code card, on every device. • Reduce Motion now stops the pulsing tiles and blinking indicators. • All devices will need to update to 1.3 to play together — older versions can't join a 1.3 game; although older versions still work with each other. Apple TV • New full-screen Standings board — select Players or Leaderboard title to see the whole party: points overall and by game, games played, and trivia answer speed. Even players who've left stay on the board. • Tabs rank everyone by each game — All, Trivia, Sketch, and the rest. • Checking standings mid-game politely pauses between questions. • The TV hosts and watches Bluff, just like Sketch: the prompt, the ballot, and the big reveal play on the big screen while everyone types on their phones. • The home screen shows all six games in a grid. • Improved UX/UI with selection of buttons. • More screen for the game: slimmer borders on every stage. • Smoother navigation. iPad and Mac • The session sidebar scales with the window, so wide windows get a roomier scoreboard and rail. • Welcome-screen tiles sit two across on wide screens. • On Mac, trophy and standings sheets get a Done button, and trivia explanations show inline under the results. Apple Vision Pro • A dedicated Vision Pro pass: a larger launch window, gaze-sized targets for chips and lock-in buttons, flat surfaces that sit right on the glass, Done buttons on every sheet, and page-style onboarding.

Party & scoring • Team points survive between games. Team totals now fold into the session record, so the lobby's roster and Teams card show running points pills for the whole game night instead of resetting to zero every time you return to the lobby. Apple Vision Pro (sold separately) • Buttons and tiles now highlight in their true shape when you look at them. The highlight now traces the exact outline the tile draws, matching corner radius and corner style. • Tiles that can't be tapped stay quiet — a revealed answer, a locked-in vote, or a spectator's board no longer lights up on gaze and invites a tap that does nothing. Mac • First-launch onboarding actually appears; macOS was silently dropping the welcome sheet on a fresh install. • The game carousel glides smoothly instead of stuttering/snapping (programmatic scroll animation doesn't work on macOS; it now drives AppKit directly). All platforms • A denied Local Network permission says so in plain words with the Settings path, instead of showing a raw error code. • Hover feedback everywhere for pointer and Vision Pro users. • Minor: the Resume-game tile was rebuilt.
