Whose Turn?

A standalone turn-order tracker — pass one device around the table and always know who's up next. No timers, no modes, just the roster, direction, pass, and elimination.

How to use

Everyone in your roster shows up automatically in Turn Order — add, remove, rename, or recolor players in Player Names (if your roster is empty, you'll be sent there first). Use the arrows here to arrange this table's seating order.
Tap the star ★ next to any player to mark them first — the whole list renumbers around whoever's starred, so the numbers always show the actual turn sequence from there.
Tap Start to begin. The current player is highlighted full-screen.
Tap Next Turn (or anywhere on the highlighted name) to advance.
Tap Reverse to flip turn direction Uno-style, or Edit to jump back to setup and change players mid-game.
Not sure who should start? Tap Random first instead of tapping the star yourself.
Players can be eliminated or marked passed mid-game without removing them from the list.

Pass the device around the table so each player can tap when their turn is done, or keep it in the center and have one person advance it.

Pass is a toggle, not automatic

Tapping Pass sits a player out of the rotation — and they stay out, round after round, until someone brings them back. Pass doesn't silently reset itself just because everyone else has gone; a passed player only rejoins when you explicitly tap their "passed" tag in the player strip below the tap zone.

If every player still in the game is passed with no one left to take a turn, you'll be prompted to either End Game or Un-pass Everyone — that bulk reset only ever happens from this explicit prompt, never silently on its own.

Elimination vs. pass

These are two independent, separate states. Pass means "skip me for now, I'm still playing" — reversible any time via the passed tag. Eliminate (the × on a player's chip) means "out of the game entirely" — tap the ↺ that replaces it to bring them back in. The game ends automatically once only one non-eliminated player remains.

Your player roster

Whose Turn? doesn't have its own player list — it always reflects your shared roster from Player Names in real time. To sit someone out for the night, remove them there instead of looking for a checkbox here.

Your turn order and game state are automatically saved to this device between sessions. Closing the app won't lose your setup.

Looking for timers?

Turn countdowns, a shared table timer, sound & taunts, the pixel-art sand timer, and the rocket launch countdown all live in a separate tool now — Turn Timer — so this one can stay a simple, fast turn tracker with nothing else competing for the screen.
