Big Potato Games
Role: Design & Production
Brief
- Match the tone, pace and ease that BPG is famous for.
- Use digital to boost the play and cut the drag.
- Every user story lives in a living room, around a table or down the pub.
Overview
We worked hand in hand with BPG, got to grips fast, and trimmed anything that dulled the “one more round” feeling.
With the games solid, a separate tech team built the backend, turning them into the foundation of a new social platform.
Rhythm
- The goal: bring two BPG party games to phones without losing the fun of the table.
- Pitch first: concepts and early wireframes before any build.
- Every week: A/B test screens and flows, then keep what players understood fastest.
- Phone does the admin: scores, rounds, pauses and setup.
- The result: Sounds Fishy and Tilt ’n’ Shout, live on Google Play.
Game flow
Sounds Fishy
The fishing mini game starts the session, deals the Red Herring and Blue Kipper roles, and settles ties. Good calls earn coins; bad ones keep the loop moving.

Game flow
Tilt ’n’ Shout
Pick a card, tilt the phone, shout the answer. Mistakes hand points over, and challenges and rewinds settle arguments without stopping the round.

The first design to overcome
Pick up and play:
Under 10 minutes from install to first session. Teach the rules and allow custom rules, without taking control away from the player.
Onboarding
Seamless setup
Premium players host; guests join with a code. New or returning, every route ends in the same lobby, custom rules and all.
