THE CALL

The Call is a two-player improv rpg game of telephone. Utilizing both voice recognition and the most sophisticated soundboard you've ever seen, work together with a friend, locally or over zoom, to help your grandma reset her Facebook password.

I'm a developer, and like anyone who is even a little tech-savvy, I am my entire extended family's IT guy. I discovered over time these calls are so predictable that I created a dialogue system that includes hundreds of lines of every potential response to create the most immersive grandma game on the market.

So if you enjoy role-playing games like Werewolf & Dungeons and Dragons or party games like Jackbox, you're going to want to answer this call.

Zoom instructions:

If you're playing over zoom, the grandma launches the game and shares audio only and mutes themselves.

Grandma calls her grandson, puts the phone on speaker in front of the computer microphone and the game begins...

-​

​For local play, one player takes mic & headphones OR landline phone into other room and both players begin.



IMPORTANT INFO TO MAKE SURE THE GAME RUNS:

GAME REQUIRES WINDOWS 10 (speech tools)

  • Game requires use of mic & headphones plugged in before launch.

  • Best played with: Headset OR MAGIC JACK USB Computer Phone Adapter & Landline corded phone

  • Make sure in your Privacy settings -> Inking & typing personalization that "Getting to know you" is toggled on. The game utilizes Windows's dictation feature.

  • If the speech to text detection stops working, try to recalibrate the voice recognition with the refresh button and if that doesn't work try testing your mic connection in sound settings.
