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.

Terms of Service
The rules for using Hearsay.
Terms of Service
Effective Date: August 12, 2026Last Updated: August 24, 20261. Agreement to Terms
These Terms of Service govern your use of the Hearsay mobile application ("App") operated by Built by Foundry, Inc., formerly known as Playpen Games, Inc. ("Foundry").

If you're 13-17, review these Terms with a parent or guardian.2. About Hearsay
Hearsay is a family party game for people you invite. A host chooses a prompt pack. Players join with a room code or pass one phone, write truths and bluffs, guess the real answer, and vote for the funniest bluff.3. Accounts
Hearsay has no user accounts or sign-in. A player name is a temporary display name for the room or a local name on the shared device. It is not a public profile.4. Premium Subscriptions and Billing
Price, billing period, trial terms, and renewal details appear on the purchase screen before you confirm. The app store processes payment and controls cancellation and refunds under its rules and applicable law. Unless the purchase screen says otherwise, a subscription renews automatically until canceled through your app-store account and access continues through the paid period after cancellation.Family Pass is offered as a $4.99 monthly subscription and a $29.99 annual subscription in the United States. Apple may show a different localized price where you live. One subscribed host can use the paid prompt packs for everyone in a game they host. Family Sharing is available when Apple supports it for the purchase and family group. The purchase screen shows the current price before you confirm. You can restore an eligible purchase in Hearsay Settings and manage or cancel it through your Apple Account subscriptions.5. App Stores and Third-Party Services
Your app store's terms also apply. Apple and Google are not responsible for the App or support for it, but may be third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as their rules provide. Third-party services have their own terms and privacy practices, and we are not responsible for services we do not control.6. User Content
You keep ownership of the player name and answers you write. You give Foundry the limited rights needed to transmit, display, filter, and moderate that content for the game and to respond to a report. Other people at the table will see answers when the game reveals them. Do not enter private information, someone else's secret, or content you do not have the right to share.7. Community Safety
Hearsay rooms are invite-only. Do not submit illegal, threatening, hateful, sexually exploitative, harassing, privacy-invasive, or infringing content. Hearsay filters common profanity and contact information from answers. Before a game starts, the host can remove a guest and prevent that device from rejoining the current room. Use Report a safety issue in the App for offensive content or behavior. We may investigate reports and take steps needed to protect people or the service. Contact local emergency services for an immediate threat.8. Prohibited Conduct

You may stop using the App at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially or repeatedly violate these Terms, create risk or legal exposure, or if we discontinue the App. Where practical, we will give reasonable notice.

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend and indemnify Foundry and its directors, officers, employees, and partners from third-party claims arising from your unlawful misuse of the App, your violation of these Terms, or content you submit. This does not require you to indemnify anyone for their own negligence or unlawful conduct.12. Limitation of Liability

Foundry disclaims implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

Foundry's total liability for claims arising from the App will not exceed the greater of $100 USD or the amount you paid for the App during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.These exclusions do not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence where applicable. Your non-waivable consumer rights remain in effect.If you experience harm related to App content, report it to support@builtbyfoundry.io. We'll investigate and take appropriate action.13. Dispute Resolution
Before starting a formal claim, send a written notice describing the dispute and requested relief to support@builtbyfoundry.io . The parties will try in good faith to resolve it for 30 days. Either party may still seek urgent injunctive relief when necessary.US Residents
Individual arbitration: Except for an eligible individual small claims case or a claim for injunctive relief concerning misuse of intellectual property, any dispute will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this clause. The hearing may occur by video, in your county, or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitrator may award the same individual remedies as a court.Class and jury waiver: You and Foundry waive any right to a jury trial and to bring or participate in a class, consolidated, representative, or private-attorney-general action. If a court finally finds the class-action waiver unenforceable for a particular claim, only that claim may proceed in court.Opt-Out: Email support@builtbyfoundry.io within 30 days of first use with "Arbitration Opt-Out" in the subject line.Users outside the United States
The arbitration and class-waiver terms apply only where lawful. If they are not enforceable where you live, you may bring a claim in the courts where you live and retain any non-waivable local consumer protections.Governing law
Delaware law governs these Terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs arbitration and mandatory law where you live may still apply.14. Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms as the App or law changes. We will post the revised Terms and update the date above. If a change materially reduces your rights, we will give reasonable advance notice where required. Changes apply prospectively. If you do not agree, stop using the App before the revised Terms take effect.15. Contact Information
