Somebody dealt it. The unit will decide who.

The party scan game that detects nothing.

Everyone’s names go into the phone. A preposterously over-engineered detector runs its sweep — radar, sonar pings, haptics, telemetry — and the verdict screen names the culprit, complete with a confidence score and a margin of error of “total.” It senses nothing. That is the entire joke.

Free on iPhone (iOS 16.4+) and Android. Rated 13+ on the App Store. It’s a game — results are randomly generated.

Who it’s for

For any room that needs a laugh

A 15-second visual payoff with a group reaction — made for parties, friend groups and family nights. Rated 13+.

The host

Party hosts and friend groups

Pass the phone, name the room, and let the unit investigate. Instant group moment.

Pain: Party games that need setup, cards or an app account.
The icebreaker

Teams and new groups

An icebreaker and conversation starter — Smart Scan and Funny Scan keep it friendly.

Pain: Awkward first minutes with people who don’t know each other yet.
The family

Family and friends at home

A randomizer with theatrics — who’s smartest, who’s funniest, who dealt it.

Pain: Deciding things fairly gets boring. The unit makes it a show.
Benefits

A detector you can openly rig reads unmistakably as a toy

Free to play. Pro adds exactly five features.

Three scans, free

Smell Scan (who dealt it), Smart Scan (the smartest person in the room) and Funny Scan (the funniest).

Film-scanner theatrics

A radar sweep with a stepped ping ladder, sonar echo, haptics and machine telemetry — every sound synthesized in code.

No account, nothing to set up

Open it and play. The names stay on your phone.

Rigged Job (Pro)

Pick the culprit before the scan even starts. It’s a toy — you’re allowed to rig it.

Your own scan & music (Pro)

Name what the unit hunts for (up to 30 characters) and play your own track under the sweep (up to 25 MB).

Any length, unlimited (Pro)

Scans from 3 to 60 seconds, with no counter and no limit.

How it works

Three steps to a verdict

  1. Pick a scanSmell, Smart, Funny — or your own with Pro.
  2. Name the roomType everyone who is playing. The unit has no idea who is there until you tell it.
  3. Point and waitIt sweeps, it thinks out loud, and then it names one of them — at random.
Pricing

Free to play. Pro takes control of the scan.

Exactly as live on the App Store; the prices are the same on Google Play.

Honest by design

The verdict screen always carries a GAME label and “Results are randomly generated.” The app requests no sensor permissions.

Privacy: essentially no data

No account, no sign-in. The only declared data type is purchase history, not linked to you and not used for tracking.

50-word description

Hoof Harted is a party scan game. Type in everyone’s names, point the phone around the room, and watch a preposterously over-engineered detector sweep, ping and think out loud before naming the culprit — at random. Three free scans; Pro lets you rig it, write your own scan, and add your own music. Free on iPhone and Android.

  • Not just fart jokes: Smart Scan, Funny Scan, and your own custom scan.

“…a darn good time to enjoy with family and friends alike.” (quote without the reviewer’s name)5-star App Store review, Sept. 17, 2026

Do

  • Call it a “game” or “party game” everywhere.
  • Keep the GAME label and “Results are randomly generated.” visible whenever a verdict appears.
  • Say plainly that it senses nothing — it picks one of the names you typed, at random.
  • Claim only the five Pro features, exactly as listed.
  • Quote App Store reviews word for word and without the reviewer’s name — there is no agreement to use their names.

Don’t

  • Imply it detects, measures or senses anything — Apple and Google both reject fake-detector claims.
  • Show readouts that describe the room (range, bearing, “3.4 m”).
  • Use numeric content claims (“8 packs”, “200+ sounds”).
  • Use alcohol or drinking in creative, or position it as a dating app.
  • Use any age rating other than 13+.
  • Call it a “#1 app”.
