NightNova keeps the whole evening on the host's iPhone: who's coming, which games and in what order, who brings what, a live timer for every game, the scores and the champion of the night.
Evenings · every planned night as a poster
Four moments of one evening, and what NightNova does in each of them.
Pick a date and a cover, choose who's coming from your crew and line up the games. Breaks of 5, 10 or 15 minutes slot in between, and NightNova tells you roughly when the night ends.
Swipe between a Poster and a Ticket, then share it as a picture with a short text. It lands in any chat, and your friends don't need the app to read it.
You're invitedFriday cards
A ring timer runs each game. Add or take five minutes, pause, skip a break or swap the next game. When time's up, enter points, places or just the winner, and the standings update.
Stars from every game add up to the Champion of the night, ties included. Share the Champion and Scoreboard cards, and the crew ranking keeps counting titles, wins and stars across evenings.

Each game comes with what you need, how to play step by step and how to win. Add your own games next to them.

Summer terraceNo. NightNova runs on the host's iPhone. Guests get the invite as a picture in any chat, and you enter everyone's results during the night.
Yes. There is no account, no sign-in and no sync. Your evenings, crew, games and scores are kept on your iPhone and everything works offline.
Twelve classics with rules and how to win: Charades, Rummy, Crazy Eights, Spoons, Draw & Guess, Five Dice, Trivia Quiz, Werewolf, Liar's Dice, Checkers, Dominoes and Two Truths and a Lie. You can add any game of your own with players, length, scoring and optional rules.
Each game is scored by points (highest total wins, or lowest for games like Rummy), by places, or by simply picking the winner. Places become stars, and the stars from all games decide the Champion of the night. A tie gives you co-champions.
The timer keeps going and shows the overtime. You can add or take away five minutes, pause, skip a break, swap or reorder the next games, or end the evening early. Unscored games are skipped and the champion comes from the games you played.
Yes. Choose one of eight illustrated themes or pick a picture with the iOS photo picker. NightNova only receives the photo you choose, not your library.
If you allow notifications, you get a reminder on the day of the evening and an alert when a game's time is up or a break ends. Switch them off any time in Settings → Reminders.
Settings → Reset all data deletes your crew, games and evenings after you confirm. Settings → Show tutorial again brings the tips back.
