Hearsay
Your family is lying to you.
But this time it’s part of the game. One person answers honestly, everyone else makes something up, and the family has to work out which story is the real one.

How a round works
Three moves, then everyone argues.
A round takes about a minute. The person in the hot seat tells the truth, everyone else invents something believable, and the pile goes up on screen with no names on it.
1
Tell the truth or write a bluff.
The hot seat writes the real answer. Everyone else fakes one.
2
Pick the real answer.
Find the truth in the pile.
3
Vote for the funniest lie.
Best lie takes the laugh.
The prompts
Questions only your family can answer.
Every prompt names a real person at the table, which is why the lies are funny and the truth is usually worse.
- What family rule exists because of Mary?
- What could Bri still start an argument about from years ago?
- What phrase does Dad say that should be on a T-shirt?
- What does Mom refuse to throw away?
Three ways to play
On the couch, or three states away.
Same room and video call both want a phone in every hand. One phone needs nothing but yours, so it is the one to start with tonight.
Same room
One phone each
Same table, but everyone writes in private on their own screen. The host reads out a six-character code.
Video call
Play from anywhere
The family that moved away still plays. Start a call in whatever app you already use, share the code, and everyone joins from their own couch.
Six packs, free
More than 150 prompts to start with.
Pick a pack, start a game. Mary + Bri write a pack of their own as well, built out of the family they have been filming for years.
Family Lore
The stories everyone remembers differently.
Sibling Energy
Petty, loving, impossible to explain.
Parents, Explained
Rules, habits, and legendary sayings.
Dinner Table Chaos
Food opinions with consequences.
Growing Up Weird
Childhood logic, family edition.
Everyday Opinions
Harmless hills worth dying on.
About Mary + Bri
The family you already watch.
Mary and Brianna Ferraro are twin sisters from New City, New York. They grew up in a big, animated family where there was never a day without music, and they have spent years turning that house into short films the rest of us recognise as our own.
Hearsay is the same joke made playable. The stories everyone remembers differently, the rules that exist because of one specific person, the arguments that never fully ended. Now your family is the one on screen.
Get everyone in one room and find out who lies best.

Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 12, 2026Last Updated: August 24, 20261. Introduction
Built by Foundry, Inc., formerly known as Playpen Games, Inc. ("Foundry," "we," "us," or "our"), operates the Hearsay mobile application ("App"). This policy covers the room and gameplay data needed to run an invite-only game, information saved on your device, Family Pass purchases, support messages, analytics, and diagnostics. Hearsay has no account or sign-in.This Privacy Policy describes the personal information we collect, where it comes from, why we use it, when we disclose it, and the choices available to you.Controller and contact: Built by Foundry, Inc. (f/k/a Playpen Games, Inc.), 2261 Market Street, Suite 86046, San Francisco, California 94114, United States. For privacy requests, email privacy@builtbyfoundry.io. For general questions: support@builtbyfoundry.io2. Information We Collect
2.1 Rooms and Gameplay
The player names, room code, answers, guesses, and laugh votes needed to play with people you invite. Hearsay creates a temporary cryptographic identity for each connected room. Answer submissions are sealed to the host until reveal. The room relay then sends game state to the devices at that table. Hearsay does not store answer text in its database.2.2 Information on Your Device
Your display name, sound and haptic choices, last mode and pack, prompt history, and a local game shelf with player names, dates, rounds, and awards. This information stays in the App's storage on your device.2.3 Purchases
Available subscription products, transaction and receipt information, restoration results, and Family Pass entitlement status. Apple processes payment. We do not receive your full payment-card number.2.4 Usage and Diagnostics
A generated app identifier, device and app details, app lifecycle and screen events, pack and prompt identifiers, aggregated round outcomes, purchase-flow events, crash reports, performance information, and other diagnostics. Analytics events do not include player names or answer text. Hearsay disables session replay and touch autocapture.3. How We Use Your Information
• Create an invite-only room and run the game across the devices at that table• Save preferences and game-shelf summaries on your device
• Offer, verify, and restore Family Pass access
• Prevent room abuse, respond to support and safety reports, diagnose failures, and improve Hearsay
4. Third-Party Service Providers
We disclose only the information reasonably needed to service providers and contractors that host, secure, analyze, support, or process purchases for the App. They process information under their agreements with us and their own legal obligations.Room Relay: Supabase creates short-lived rooms and relays game traffic between the invited devices. The room directory stores the code, channel, public keys, version numbers, and timestamps, but not player names or answer text. It also keeps one-way-hashed rate-limit keys to protect room creation and joining from abuse.Subscriptions: RevenueCat and Apple process product availability, purchase receipts, restoration, and Family Pass entitlement status.Analytics and Diagnostics: PostHog processes the limited product events and device and app details described above. Session replay and touch autocapture are disabled. Sentry processes crash, error, device, app, and sampled performance information with default personally identifying information disabled.Distribution: Apple App Store distributes the iOS App, and Expo supports signed builds and updates. They may process device, installation, update, and purchase information under their own policies.No sale or behavioral-advertising sharing: We do not sell personal information for money or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We have not done so during the preceding 12 months. We may disclose information if required by law, to protect people or the App, or as part of a merger, financing, or sale of the business, subject to appropriate safeguards.5. International Data Transfers
Foundry is based in the United States.

We keep personal information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described here, including to provide the App, maintain security, resolve disputes, and meet legal or accounting duties. Retention depends on the type of information, whether your account is active, and applicable law. When it is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it. Copies may remain temporarily in backups or where law requires retention.Local preferences and game-shelf summaries remain on your device until you remove them or uninstall the App. A room expires about 30 minutes after its host stops extending it, with a two-hour maximum lifetime, and expired room-directory rows are deleted by an hourly cleanup. A closed room row may remain for up to about 75 minutes. Stale one-way-hashed rate-limit keys are deleted after about one day. The App does not store answer text in the room database. Apple, RevenueCat, PostHog, Sentry, Supabase, and support providers keep information under their own retention rules and our agreements with them.7. Your Privacy Rights
