Headbands

Video streaming app based on the popular character guessing game

Headbands is a really popular game you've probably played at work parties. You know where everyone writes a famous name on a sticky note, and puts it on someone else's head? Then they have to ask questions to figure out who they are? Sort of like this (although hopefully your workplace was less offensive.) Unfortunately tons of people are working from home now, so we made this so you can play with eachother online and get some face time that isn't meeting-related.

You can play with up to five players, either playing the guesser one at a time or all at once while taking turns to ask questions. Questions should preferably have yes or no answers but we don't enforce that so you're free to go rogue.
