From the makers of Fox Tales · the boxed edition

A party game that needs no signal, no power and no charger

Question cards about the people at your table, plus a dry-erase board and a score counter for every player. No app, no account, nothing to charge — just the box, the table and a marker.

We are collecting a waitlist for the boxed edition. Signing up is free and commits you to nothing.

Before release we will write a handful of times: when the game gets a name, when there is something to show, and when we know the price. Then one email when it goes on sale. We do not sell your address to anyone.

The data controller is Hubert Górski, contact: office@foxtales.cc. We process your name and email address solely to tell you about work on the boxed edition of the game, on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw that consent at any time by writing to us. Details in our Privacy Policy.

We are not starting from scratch

  • The game already exists

    Fox Tales runs in the browser today: questions about you, anonymous answers, voting and the big reveal. The box moves that same game onto cards, boards and counters.

  • We are not collecting money

    There is no pre-order here, no deposit and no crowdfunding. You leave an address purely so we can tell you when the box is ready.

  • Nothing to charge

    No screens, no account, no signal, no batteries. You lay it out on the table and play.

A round in five moves

A phone-free party game — here is one round

The whole game is a single loop you repeat as many times as you like. It lands differently every time: the questions change, the people at the table change, and so does the style you are playing.

  1. Someone reads a card

    The cards ask about you — what you would do, and how well you actually know each other.

  2. Everyone writes on their own

    Your own board, a marker, and a hand over the top so the person next to you cannot peek.

  3. You reveal together

    All the boards go up at once. This is the moment you play the game for.

  4. A pleased little fox — point scoredAn embarrassed little fox — point lost

    Points land on the counters

    You gain or you lose. The counters stay in plain sight, so everyone knows where they stand.

  5. Wipe clean, keep going

    A quick wipe and the boards are blank again. The next card is waiting.

Several play styles, one deck

Same cards, different scoring rules. You can stay with one style all evening or switch between them every few rounds. How many styles make it into the box and exactly how they work is still being settled.

The rules fit in a few lines. You pick a style, someone reads the first card, and you are playing.

The unplugged moment

The evenings where a phone would not help anyway

We have nothing against screens — we built a game that lives on one. But some evenings the phone is part of the problem rather than the fix.

  • No bars

    A cabin in the mountains where the signal only appears by the kitchen window, and only if you stand on one leg.

  • Dead battery

    A campsite, a long train, a long weekend. The power bank is in the car and the car is a mile downhill. The box does not care.

  • Phones in the basket

    Someone made a rule at dinner and everybody is sticking to it. Nice to have something that does not break that rule.

  • Someone a screen puts off

    A grandparent who wants nothing to do with a phone at the table — and they have a point. Or a kid you would rather not hand a screen to right now.

It needs no signal, no power, no batteries and no registration — and nobody at the table gets a notification that quietly takes them out of the evening.

What is inside

Question cards, a dry-erase board and a score counter for every player

This is the base and you buy it once. The counters and boards stay with you for good, and the starter question set is enough to play the same evening you open it.

  • A score counter for every player — your score sits in front of you, nobody keeps the tally in their head and nobody argues about whose tick marks those are
  • A dry-erase board for every player — your own surface to write on: write, reveal, wipe, and come back to a clean field
  • Markers included — ordinary dry-erase ones, no proprietary refills — when they eventually run dry you can replace them at any corner shop
  • A starter question set — enough to open the box and play straight away, without buying anything else

The collection

It grows on the shelf, next to the board games

Buying games and playing games are two entirely different hobbies — we know that from our own shelf. Instead of one board in the middle, every player here gets a small board of their own, and we design each new deck to stand next to the base as part of a set rather than a pile of odd boxes.

  • The base, once

    Counters, boards, markers and a starter question set. You buy the base once and keep playing on it — only the questions and the people at the table change.

  • Decks, as you go

    More question sets for an occasion or for a particular group. You take the ones you want and skip the rest.

  • It all stands together

    Decks slot in next to the base instead of disappearing into a drawer. The collection grows in one direction, and you can see how much of it there is.

A library you can actually see

In the app you collect question sets in your library — on an account, behind a screen. Here you collect them on a shelf. You see the difference when someone comes over: a guest pulls a deck off the shelf and asks what you play. The evening starts with that question.

We want it to be worth reaching for

The counter and the board are not meant to be paper filler for one evening, but things that stay out on the table. We are spending longer on how they look and how they sit in your hand than we would care to admit.

The series

One box, many evenings

The starter set walks you into the rhythm of the game, and from there your library grows a deck at a time. A different deck means a different subject — with the same rules, the evening sounds completely different.

Planned decks — the order is still open

  • Valentine's

    For an evening for two, with both phones face down on the table.

  • Married life

    For people who are certain they know everything about each other. A few cards in, usually not.

  • Hen party

    A hen party usually seats several groups at one table who have never met: people from work, from university, from the badminton club. This deck exists so that a quarter of an hour later they have.

  • Family

    The one where a grandparent says something half the table had no idea about.

  • All-purpose party

    For a house party where people know each other unevenly and need to be seated at one table fast.

  • And more after that

    We are planning further decks. Which ones get made and in what order is what we want the list to decide with us.

Which deck should come first?

Tick it in the form, one click. And if none of them is what you are after, pick “Other” and write your own. We will show the list how the votes landed.

Pick your deck
As a gift

You cannot tie a ribbon around a link

A scented candle. A mug with a slogan. Socks, foxes this time. Lovely for about fifteen minutes, then it joins the drawer of things you cannot quite throw away. Hand over the game, and you're giving countless evenings of conversations, memories, laughter, and getting to know each other all over again.

  • birthdays
  • Valentine's
  • the holidays
  • housewarmings
  • hen parties
  • anniversaries

They open it and play

No signal, no power, no charged phone needed. They lift the lid, hand out the boards and sit down at the table.

You do not have to explain anything

The rules fit in a few lines — someone reads them out and a minute later the whole table is playing. There is nothing to set up and nothing to teach first.

It does not end after one evening

The base stays, and you swap the deck for another one whenever you want a different mood.

Their next gift is already sorted

A themed deck is a present cut to the occasion, not another mug with a slogan on it.

What about timing?

We do not know the release date yet, so we are not promising you will have this in hand for the next occasion. Sign up and we will give you enough notice to plan around it — the list hears first.

It should look like something you give

Rather than something that gets tucked into a cupboard after the first evening. We are not showing renders here, because they would only change. The list gets real photos as soon as there is something to photograph.

I want to see the box first
Straight up

We have a working online game, so why a box?

You are not choosing between them. It is the same game written out for two different evenings: one with phones in your hands, one with markers on the table. The box takes nothing away from the online version — it is a separate product, not a paid tier of something you already have.

The online version

  • You join from a link, a code or a QR, nothing to download
  • It still works with everyone sitting in a different city
  • AI writes questions for your group, and the scoring runs itself
  • Needs a browser, a signal and charged phones

The boxed edition

  • Works with no signal, no power and no batteries
  • Everyone writes on their own board — nobody stares at a screen
  • It grows on the shelf: the base stays, more decks arrive
  • You can wrap it in paper and give it to someone

What the box will not do

It will not generate questions with AI and it will not translate anything on the fly — paper and a marker simply cannot, and that stays on the online side. What it does have is a question library you can actually touch: it stands on a shelf rather than in an account.

This is not another guess-the-word game

In most party games you guess a word, a picture or a definition — something from outside the table. Here the entire game happens between the people sitting at it. Points are points, but what stays with you is the moment someone says “wait, I had no idea”.

Cards on the table

What we still do not know — and what you get out of it

We could put round numbers and a release date here to make the page look more serious. We would rather not. Here is what is still open.

What leaving your address gets you

  • You hear it before anyone elseThe name, the price, the photos, the sale date — the list gets all of it first.
  • You get a say where nothing is decided yetThe name of the game, the order of the decks, and further down the line more than that: what goes into a deck and what to fix about the pieces themselves. We are asking because we genuinely do not know yet.
  • You see the box before anyone doesWhen there is something to show, we show the list first.
  • You can tell us what is missingThere is a field for it in the form. We read every one.

Still unknown

The name
The game does not have a name yet. That is one of the things we will ask the list about.
The price
Not set. The list will hear it first and tell us first whether it is fair.
Card count and player count
We know what goes in the box. We do not yet know exactly how many cards are in the starter set, how many players a set covers, or how big the box itself will be.
Release date
We do not know the date. We do know where we ship: within Poland only to begin with, most likely via InPost. International shipping waits until the logistics are sorted.

What we are not promising

No discount, no early-bird price, no guaranteed copy and no specific date. We do not know the price or the timing yet, and we would rather say nothing than guess.

None of this goes to Instagram first. The email to the list comes first, the rest of the world after.

The waitlist

Get on the list

No deposit, no reservation, no obligation to buy. You leave a name and an address — and you are at the front of the queue for news, not for an invoice.

Which deck should come first? (optional, pick as many as you like)
This is the one place where you actually set the order. Skip it and nothing bad happens.

FAQ

The questions you are already asking

We do not know, and we are not going to give you a date we are unsure of. We would rather you were annoyed at us for having no date than for a date that slipped. Instead of a deadline we have the next concrete step: when there is something to show, the list sees it before social media.
We have not set the price. It depends on what ends up in the box and how it is made, and both are still being settled. The list will hear the price first and tell us first whether it is fair. Any figure we put here today would be plucked out of the air.
Not to begin with. We ship within Poland only, most likely via InPost. Until the logistics and integrations are sorted, we are not going to promise parcels we cannot deliver. This page is in English because plenty of people in Poland would rather read it that way — the game itself works the same either way.
Same game, different evening. The box exists for the situations where an app cannot work: no signal, no power, no phones on the table. And a game like this is something you can give as a gift and stand on a shelf, which you cannot do with a link.
No, and we can be specific about what that means. Before release we will write a handful of times: when the game gets a name, when there is something to show, and when we know the price. Then one email when it goes on sale. We do not sell or pass your address to anyone. Want off the list — reply with one word to any of our emails, or write to office@foxtales.cc, and we delete the address.
No. It is a name and an email address, nothing else. No deposit, no reservation, no obligation to buy and no card details. You can sign up, read everything we send and buy nothing.
We are not giving those numbers yet, because the box contents are not fully finalised. What we do know: every player gets their own dry-erase board, their own score counter and a marker, everyone writes on their own and you reveal together. Concrete ranges go up when they are certain — to the list first.
We collect a name and an email address and use them only to tell you about work on the boxed edition and about the release. We do not sell them, we do not pass them on and we do not add you to any other list. Deleting your data takes one message to office@foxtales.cc. The details are in our Privacy Policy.
Because we are not starting from scratch. Fox Tales runs in the browser today — you can play it for free and find out whether the questions land for you before you leave us an address. The boxed edition is that same game moved onto cards, boards and counters, not an idea on a napkin. Honestly: the box does not exist yet, which is exactly why there is not a single photo of it on this page. The list gets real ones as soon as they exist.

The next evening with no signal could be the best one this year

A question card, markers squeaking at once, a beat of silence and the moment everyone turns their board around. That is what we are putting in the box.
