WITS & BETS COMPANION

Never run out
of cards again.

The unofficial companion for Wits & Wagers.

You have played the box. You know the cards. Keep the board, the chips and the betting, and let your phone deal the questions instead. Every answer is still a number, and there are always more.

No cards to lose. No cards to sort. No pile to put back in the wrong order at midnight.

Free, with optional expansion packs. iPhone and iPad, iOS 16.4 or later.

How a round plays

The same round you already know. The app only replaces the deck.

The home screen, showing the deck with 86 cards left and the discard pile beside it.
01

Draw

Tap the deck and read the question out loud. The number under the deck is how many are left, and the pile beside it is what you have already played.

A question card asking how many countries share a land border with Brazil.
02

Guess

Everyone writes a number. Nobody knows it, so everybody has to reason. The betting happens exactly as it always did, on your table, with your chips.

The same card revealed, showing the answer and a short fact about it.
03

Reveal

Reveal the answer. It arrives with a short fact worth knowing, then the card goes to the discard pile and cannot come back this round.

No cards. No cleanup.

Everything that makes a deck of cards a chore, handled by the thing already in your pocket.

The deck never runs dry

New packs arrive in the app with no update to install. Buy one and its questions are in play immediately, permanently, on every device signed in to your Apple Account.

Nothing to put back

A question you have played cannot turn up again until you shuffle, and shuffling is one tap. Nobody sorts a pile at the end of the night, and nobody argues about who was supposed to.

It works with no signal

Every pack you own lives on the device. Cabins, planes, pub basements, the back of a car. Only buying a new pack needs a connection.

Questions nobody knows

Every card is checked against one rule: if someone at the table simply knows the number, it makes a dull round. The good ones you reason toward and nobody can recall.

Tune it to your table

Switch packs on and off between rounds without losing them. Keep a pack for the grown-ups and leave it off when the kids are playing.

Child Friendly keeps questions about drink and drugs out of the deck. Units asks in metric or imperial, changing the question as well as the answer, so everyone writes the unit it pays out in.

And if your table has had enough of guessing years, switch years off. Any answer type can sit out.

The packs, for now

The free Core deck is a full night on its own. These add to it, and this is only the list as it stands today. More are being written, and they appear in the app without an update.

MIXED

World Records

50 questions

The longest, heaviest, fastest and most improbable things anyone has ever measured. Numbers so extreme the guessing gets genuinely funny.

SCIENCE

Space & Science

50 questions

Distances, temperatures and quantities from the very large to the very small. Nobody knows these, which is exactly the point.

MONEY

Money & Business

50 questions

Price tags, payrolls, box office and the eye-watering cost of things you use every day. Bring your best zeroes.

SPORT

Sports by the Numbers

50 questions

Records, streaks, salaries and stadium sizes across every sport worth arguing about. Stats even the fan at the table won't have memorised.

CULTURE

90s Nostalgia

50 questions

Chart runs, box office, cartridge sales and how long that one show actually lasted. Everything you half-remember, quantified.

CULTURE

Food & Drink

50 questions

Calories, chilli heat, consumption per head and the sheer scale of what the world eats. Deceptively hard to bracket.

HISTORY

Dates & Disasters

50 questions

Years, casualty counts, reigns and the duration of wars nobody can place. Heavy on the one answer type everyone thinks they're good at.

MIXED

General Knowledge

102 questions

A bit of everything: history, science, sport, the human body, and the odd number nobody has any business knowing. The all-rounder pack.

WORLD

Countries of the World

50 questions

Borders, independence days, flags and the sheer size of places. Every answer is a number, and the atlas in your head is worse than you think.
