About
Hydroglyph Games formed in 2018 and produces app based games and classical board games.
...okay, so far there's only one game available but there are more in the pipeline! Everyone has to start somewhere...
The Hat Game
The Hat Game is a party game for 4 or more players and was inspired by a game frequently played with friends and family where names were written on slips of paper and put into a hat.
This app version makes it easy to play at the touch of a button using a single device, drawing from a library of over 1000 names of famous characters and people.
​
The object of the game is for you and your team to correctly describe as many names as possible within the time limit each turn. Over the four rounds the method of description changes:
​
-
Round 1 - Vocal description
-
Round 2 - One word description
-
Round 3 - Charades
-
Round 4 - Statues
​
The same 'Hat' of names is reused between rounds so it helps to try and remember what's been said before (especially when your teammate is fixed in an awkward looking statue!).
The app allows the user to input their own set of names if they wish, along with other customisable features.
​
No advertisements or in app purchases to get in your way!
​
Now available on the Google Play Store.

Thanks for looking and if you do give it a try please get in touch if you have any feedback.
Other Projects
The main ongoing development is a board game about a team of bounty hunters working together to track down some of the most heinous outlaws in the galaxy! Each bounty hunter will have its own unique deck of illustrated cards. Card decks are also used for the outlaws and the futuristic sectors where the pursuit takes place in. Players work together against the outlaw while also trying to survive the random tribulations of the local hostile environment.
​
The game is scheduled to be demo'd at the UK Games Expo in Birmingham 2019.
​
A couple of work in progress illustrations from the game are featured on this page.
​
Plans are also afoot to continue to develop app based games.
