Party Game Timer is a countdown timer that replaces the timers or hourglasses that come with Pictionary, Charades, Taboo, and many other party games. Party Game Timer supports random countdowns, so is ideally suited as a replacement timer for Hot Potato style games like The Last Word or Pass The Bomb.

Party Game Timer is great for:
Games with randomly timed rounds
There are a few party games where a timer goes off randomly - games like Last Word and Pass the Bomb. Party Game Timer can be set to go off after a random amount of time by adjusting a minimum and maximum duration, so it is perfect for these games. Combined with the ability to pick from many different sound themes, you can use Party Game Timer for a much more customized gaming experience. For example, you could increase or decrease the amount of time in a round depending on the skill level of the players. I once played a word game called Pass the Bomb with a group of skilled Scrabble players, and found it useful to make rounds much longer to accommodate for the advanced skill level of the players.
Trivia / party games with short countdowns
In some games you have just seconds to give an answer. These could be trivia games like Jeopardy and Family Feud or party games like the Chain Game or Wits and Wagers. Party Game Timer is great for these games because it lets you adjust short time intervals to the second. The built in timer on your iPhone only handles hours and minutes, so if you need a countdown timer that goes off within seconds, you need Party Game Timer instead.
Party games with timed rounds
There are many party games like Pictionary, Charades, and Taboo that have one or two minute rounds. You could use your iPhones built in timer or the timer that comes with these games, but since Party Game Timer was made for fun and games, it is a much better fit for this situation.
Slow strategy games
Tired of waiting forever for someone to finish a round of Risk, Stratego, or Scrabble? You can use Party Game Timer to impose a time limit for each round.

Other uses
* Replacement for your existing iPhone or stopwatch timer
Unlike the iPhones built in timer, Party Game Timer lets you adjust seconds. Party Game Timer also has unusually detailed voice over support.
* Cooking timer
Want to put something in the oven, step outside, and be reminded when its done? Party Game Timer lets you do this easily.
* Exercise timer
Party Game Timer can go off in intervals (for example, once every 15 minutes), which can be useful for exercising or meditation.
* Fart Machine
Just set the sound theme to Fart and get ready for countless minutes of iFart-like fun!
* Musical Chairs
* Hot Potato
