The game
What it is about.
TuckedIn is a real-time multiplayer game for families and friends. The kids are meant to be asleep, but there is mischief to finish before a grown-up with a flashlight comes round to tuck everyone in. The grown-up role rotates each night, so everyone gets a turn on both sides.
The house is dark, so what you can see depends on where you are and where the flashlight points. Creaky floorboards give you away unless you sneak, and a giggle meter fills when the grown-up is close.
How to play
Step by step.
Make a room
Share the five letter code or the invite link. Everyone joins from their own device.
Pick your style
Choose a nickname, or go by your animal and pajama colour. Then pick a toy for when you are a kid and a grown-up for when it is your turn.
Lights out
The night starts with a three second peek at the whole house. Then the lights go out and the grown-up counts to ten while the kids scatter.
Sneak and hide
Kids work through a mischief list, stay out of the flashlight and moonlight, and hide in closets, beds and curtains.
Tuck them in
The grown-up tucks in any kid they catch. Kids win at sunrise or by finishing the mischief list. The grown-up wins by tucking everyone in.
Modes and features
