Shh! rules
Shh! is the game where your phone becomes a sound meter. The mic only measures volume, live: nothing is recorded or sent. The headliner is Just the Right Volume: an absurd sentence, a zone (whisper, normal voice, loud or shout), and you have to say it without the needle leaving the zone.
Three more modes: Whisper It! (two teams, 60 seconds to get words guessed by whispering, one raised voice and it's a BUZZ), Crescendo (everyone louder than the last, without hitting the ceiling) and The Breath (hold your "Aaaah" as long as you can). No mic? The table referees.
An example round
Hugo holds the phone. His line: "A pony in a bathrobe is ordering an espresso at the bar", zone: WHISPER. He holds "Talk" and whispers… but gets carried away on "espresso": the needle leaves the zone. 64%, +20 for the whole line: 84 points. Léa scores 97. In the final ranking, last place takes 2 zinzin sips or a dare.

- 1The mic only measures volume, live: nothing is recorded or sent. You calibrate it once per game (3 s of silence).
- 2It hears a sound, not who made it: each mode makes it clear who it's listening to (the player holding the phone, a team or the whole table).
- 3Volume Control: the phone goes from hand to hand. Say the line while keeping the needle in the zone (whisper, normal, loud or shout). Score = % of time in the zone, +20 if you say the whole line.
- 4Whisper It! (free, 4+ players): two teams, 60 s to get as many words guessed as possible, in a whisper. Any loud burst at the table = BUZZ, word lost and −1.
- 5Crescendo (Zinzin+): each player makes a sound louder than the last (or softer in Decrescendo), without hitting the BOOM ceiling. Miss it and you take the penalty.
- 6Hold the Note (Zinzin+): hold an "Aaaah" for as long as you can inside the volume zone. Beat the record.
- 7No mic? Every mode also works with the table as referee. The penalty: a dare or 1 to 3 zinzin sips.
