Show HN: Photobomb – cards against humanity but for your camera roll

[alhwyn]

just shipped my first ios game: photobomb, a party game for 3–8 players.

similar to cards against humanity one player gets a prompt (ex: "bad posture"), everyone else digs through their camera roll to find the best matching photo under 40 seconds. The prompter picks their favorite photo and the player with that chosen phot wins the round, and you rotate until everyone's been the judge.

bonus: if your photo gets screenshotted during the gallery , you score extra point. ;)

its free, just need three friends and photos to share

Nice job! I don't have an iPhone but one thing I might suggest is seeing if there is a means of quick toggling between organization of photos (by subject, by date, etc) when a person is choosing one. There might be a way you can take advantage of apple's AI/subject recognition to aid in this.

Since some people's camera rolls are absolutely HUGE, 40 seconds might not be enough time to find the photos that they want.

Congrats on the launch, excited to try it out. How did you pick the 40 second constraint? I’m curious if having an adjustable timer would be good for those of us with unnecessarily large camera rolls.

40 seconds is hard coded at the moment thanks for the feedback
