We’re not going to over-exaggerate anything here. Toaster Timer is the greatest toaster related timer in the world! You can use this utility app as a blind timer. A blind timer means the timer does not show the countdown clock. We use it for Hot Potato games and "minute to win it" games. 

True or false? Yey or nay? Fact or Fiction? Real or Fake? Thumbs is a great way to play all of those games with your students! At its core, Thumbs is a tool that displays a thumbs up and a thumbs down. Have everyone answer a question with their thumbs in the air. Then display the answer with the thumbs on the screen! It’s a great visual and adds some extra flare to your games. 

Quick! Name a Superhero! Name another! Another! ANOTHER!!! Three Spree is a fast-paced category game that has students naming off items in a category as fast as they can, without repeating anything or running out the three second clock. You make up the categories ahead of time, so they can be generic or specific to your youth ministry (like naming off volunteers). 

Siri, predictive text, and virtual keyboards have spoiled this generation. Students don’t understand the struggle of texting before smartphones. Back in the day, we had to text to school in the snow, uphill both ways, like cave people. When it comes to old cell phones, the Nokia 3310 is the classic example of indestructible old tech. If you had a cellphone in the late 90s, it was the 3310. Text Me brings ’90s nostalgia to another level. We found an old Nokia manual and recreated the texting functionality for this app. Amaze your students with a glimpse into the past.

We have a mathematical equation to bring some light as to why running talent shows at youth group is a good idea. Fun + Easy = Awesome. Now that we have all that nerdy stuff out of the way, let’s talk about why we love using the Talent Show Buzzer. If you want your talent show to feel legit, then you need judges. If you have judges, then you need to give them the power to destroy the confidence of the contestants. That’s common sense. This resource does that. 

Sword vs Shield is a “This or That” game that has your students battling it out between two rivals. Everyone needs to pose holding a sword or a shield. Then, two knights fly on to the screen in mid-battle. Just as the knight with the sword strikes the knight with the shield, the screen goes dark. Then, with the click of a button, the winner is revealed. The students making that pose win that round. 

Sword Drill is your classic, “First to find this verse in their Bible” type of game. Just set it up by entering the verses that you want to use. The reference will appear on the screen and your students will have to rush to flip to it in their Bibles. The first to stand up with the verse ready to be read gets a point! This is a fun way to get your students into knowing where verses are in their Bibles. 

Do you need a quick game for the summer to give out a prize? Maybe you need something to act as a tie breaker for a another game. Or do you want a simple, no-setup game for your ministry? Summer Three of a Kind is just that! Just hit the spacebar and three random summer-themed items will appear in the boxes. If a student gets three of a kind (hence the name), they win a prize! 

You can play a lot of different games with Suits. At its very base, Suits is simply a game board that displays a bunch of boxes with different card suits. You can control how many boxes are on the screen, flip them, shuffle them, and even force them to be the suit that you want. So, give every student a playing card as they walk through the door. Then, use Suits to randomly pick a set of 8 suits. The first group of students who can form that set with their cards wins! That's just one of many games that you can play with Suits! 

Stopwatch is... a stopwatch (hence the name). It works exactly how you'd expect it to work! You can start/stop the time and save that time in up to three slots. This is perfect for relay-type competitions (or pretty much anything that would benefit a stopwatch timer). This is a great tool for your next game! 

"Stop the Clock” has students trying to figure out how to stop the clock (hence the name). STC can be used in an escape room, during scavenger hunts, or on stage during your large group time. This STC is called, "Three Key" and requires students to find and plug three USB thumb drives into a USB hub to... Stop the Clock! 

Stop It! is a fantastic, no setup youth group game that challenges students to hit a button and stop a clock as close as they can to a given number without going over. Whoever gets closest within 1/100th of a second is the winner! This is the kind of game that has everyone going nuts when the clock stops on the winning number. Tons of fun, easy to explain, and not setup required. Just stop it! 

The Stage Gauge is a great tool that makes your games way more fun! Imagine scoring a dance-off contest with a giant applause meter on the screen! Or create a head-to-head-to-head-to-head contest between freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Then use the Stage Gauge to show the winner! The possibilities are endless. You can set the color, size, and text of each section. To move the needle, simply hover your mouse over a colored rectangle in your dashboard. It's that easy! Check out the video below for a walk-through! 

What happens when you mix frogger and minesweeper? You get some splodin frogs! Splodin Frogs is a youth group game that challenges your students to work together to get a frog through a pond scattered with bombs! The indicator on the left tells you how many lily pads have bombs underneath them, but it doesn’t tell you which ones they are. If you land on a bomb, your frog “splodes” and you’re sent back to the beginning. 

Spinner is a fantastic tool that can be used for a bunch of different games. We'll give you some ideas, but you can really do whatever you want with this one. The app is simple: Just pick the number of players and the screen with be filled with a group of boxes. A little white dot shifts around while it counts down. Watch the walk-through video below to get an idea of what you can do with this one. 

Song Bite is a new game that plays short snippets from songs that you upload. Students have to guess the name of the song and the band based on less than a second of audio. You control what songs you use, what part of the song that plays, and how long it plays for! Just grab a bunch of mp3s of your favorite songs and you’re in business! 

You can only move when it's night time! That's the number one rule of the game. Clear out your youth room and split the floor into four large sections with tape. Take four decks of cards and spread them out all over four sections. Challenge your students to find every card of one suit (Ace through King). You cannot move in a section that is daytime on the screen. If you do, you're out! The first student (or group) to collect all 13 cards of the same suit will win! 

Ships and Sailors is a classic youth ministry game that gets your students running around the room while they try to preform the actions on screen. For example, when the game lands on Starboard, everyone runs to the right side of the room. When it lands on Row, students have to get in groups of 4 and pretend to row the boat. Anyone slacking or not able to pair up for a task is OUT! 

Shifty Dot is a fantastic tool that can be used for a bunch of different games. We'll give you some ideas, but you can really do whatever you want with this one. The app is simple: Just pick the number of players and the screen with be filled with a group of boxes. A little white dot shifts around while it counts down. Watch the walk-through video below to get an idea of what you can do with this one. 

Shake It Out is a blast! Just grab some contestants and have them shake ping pong balls out of tissue boxes that are strapped around their waists. The first person to shake out all of their ping pong balls before the clock runs out is the winner. The app has a customizable countdown clock with digital ping pong balls that fall when you hit letter keys on your keyboard. 

Secret Squares is a blast! You select any images that you want and they’ll be covered by a bunch of squares. Your students have to figure out what the full image is as you reveal one square at a time! The first student to get it right will win that round! With the touch of a button, you can change the difficulty from just a handful of big squares to an insane amount of tiny squares! 

Scramble is your classic word game where the tiles are scrambled and students have to figure out the words/phrases on the screen. All you have to do is enter the words/phrases that you want to use in the dashboard and the game will take care of the rest! This is perfect for students' names, movie titles, or if you want to make it really difficult, Biblical genealogy! 

You’re not going to believe this, but Scoreboard is a scoreboard! We know, right? All joking aside, Scoreboard is an easy-to-use scoreboard with a timer and custom team names. Just hit the up/down arrow keys to add/ remove points. Use the top row of numbers to add/remove a batch of points! The clock can be set to whatever you want! If you want to keep track of team points, Scoreboard is the tool for you!
