How to play

  1. There are 5 piñatas (the last one is a Giant worth double). Each takes a secret number of hits; everyone sees the range, like "12 to 24".
  2. Every wave your phone gives you a noisy reading ("about 7 left"). One random player gets the Hawk Eye and sees the exact number… and can tell the truth or lie.
  3. First you talk for 6 seconds (quick chat, voice or announcing a number). Then everyone secretly picks: SWING or WAIT. If you swing, tap when the arrow crosses the middle: 2 hits for perfect, 1 for good, 0 if you whiff (or hit the uncle).
  4. If it holds, every swinger earns 1 applause candy. If it bursts, the bag holds 3 candies per player: the waiters split 70% and the (blindfolded) swingers 30%. The Golden Candy (+5) goes to one swinger, drawn by hit strength.
  5. If nobody breaks it in 8 waves, Auntie Chela smashes it and everyone gets 1 candy. Last place gets a guaranteed Hawk Eye on the next piñata. The match ends with funny awards (+2) and a card to share. With the Party Pass: up to 16 players, Christmas posada and Halloween themes, more piñatas and Rope Mode.

Swing or Wait is a bluffing party game for 3 to 16 friends on their phones: swing or wait… but whoever breaks the piñata barely gets any candy. Secret readings, a Hawk Eye who might be lying, a timing swing and a 3D piñata that bursts in front of everyone. No downloads, no sign-up.
