Eggsistential is the classic “Who Am I?” party game, made for phones. Everyone gets a secret identity. You can see everyone else’s on your phone, but never your own, so you ask the group yes-or-no questions out loud until you figure out who (or what) you are.
Also known as the forehead game or the sticky-note game.

How it works
Pick where the identities come from. Choose a ready-made category (Bollywood Pop Culture, Western Pop Culture, Sports, Historical Figures / Events, Animals, Food, Everyday Objects, Geography), or have everyone secretly submit one word for someone else.
Ask yes-or-no questions out loud. Everyone else answers, looking at your identity on their own phone.
Tap “I got it!” when you guess right. The fastest to figure it out wins the round.
Play casually with no clock, or turn on Timed mode, where everyone gets their own countdown.
