Frequently Asked Questions
What is Thorstein Games?
Thorstein Games makes free party games you play with friends in the browser. Our games include Find the Fox, Sheeple, Bank, Blocker Rush, Pix Pen, Mastermind, Tier Ranker and Bracket Maker, with more on the way.
Are the games free?
Yes. Every game is free to play. Some games show ads to help cover hosting costs.
Do I need to download anything or make an account?
No. Everything runs in your web browser on a phone, tablet or computer. There are no apps to install and no accounts to create. Just open a game and start playing.
How do multiplayer games work?
In Find the Fox, Sheeple and Blocker Rush, everyone joins the same game on their own device and plays every round. In Bank, Tier Ranker and Bracket Maker, one person runs the game on a shared screen, like a TV or laptop, while everyone else yells advice, argues and chimes in.
Can I play with friends who aren't in the same room?
Yes. Since the games run in the browser, they work well over a video call. For games where everyone plays on their own device, each player just joins from wherever they are. For shared-screen games, the host can share their screen on the call.
Are there games I can play by myself?
Yes. Blocker Rush, Pix Pen, Tier Ranker and Bracket Maker all work great solo. No friends required.
What devices are supported?
Any modern browser on a phone, tablet or computer, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge. Players can mix and match devices in the same game.
Is my data saved?
Tools like Bank, Tier Ranker and Bracket Maker save your work in your own browser, so it never leaves your device. Online multiplayer games only keep what's needed to run a game while it's in progress. See our Privacy Policy for the details.
