INTERACTION from Rudy Games is an interactive party game for family and friends. Whether Brainiac or athlete, old or young, all your senses and talents are put to the test. Only the best player in each category – knowledge, creativity, action, social and games – can reach the end of the board and be the lucky winner!

There’s a huge variety of time-based app challenges like sketching Noah’s Ark (creativity) or crawling round a player like a worm (action). The app adjusts the questions to the location and age of each player, so a child gets different tasks from a teenager, parent or grandparent. Combining the social interaction of board games with the multimedia power of an app, it’s guaranteed fun for everyone.

Simply unpack & play – no need to read long instructions, the app introduces the game step by step. With free regular updates offering new tasks and mini-games, you will never get bored. All you need is a smartphone or tablet (not included) and a free “Rudy Games” account.
