Description

Mimics is a joyful online and local party game about imitating extreme faces and watch others do the same. Players imitate drawn faces, before their teammates must guess which face was portrayed. The game can be played together in one place or online with friends and strangers alike.

History

Mimics originates from an 8-hour game jam with the theme 'memes'. We were intrigued by the idea of people imitating memes and being photographed while doing so. All there was to do from there was inventing game rules to make players want to do it! In the meantime, seven different artists were creating original, hilarious faces to imitate.

Features

  • Use over 30 muscles to interact with the game!
  • Original use of your device camera!
  • Play with or against your friends and family!
  • Play the game anywhere you like!
