About Gubbrunda

Gubbrunda is a game for friends meeting at dinner, at home or on a night out. A host starts the game in a browser and adds the participants. Roles, challenges and voting give the group something to do together.

A phone to support the game

No account or app installation is required. The host shows roles and challenges and controls the pace. Manual voting can use a shared screen. With digital voting, participants join from their own phones.

What is stored and sent?

Game state and settings are saved in the browser’s local storage so a round can be resumed. In digital mode, information such as player names, avatar choices, game state, confirmations and votes passes between participants through the site’s network service. It does not stay exclusively on the host’s phone.

Digital play can use a Cloudflare realtime service. The code also supports Supabase and PeerJS/WebRTC depending on the site’s configuration. An active realtime session can involve temporary server-side handling of game information. Digital voting needs an internet connection.

If you choose to share a result, the link contains result data such as names and scores. Anyone receiving the link can read that information. Google Analytics is used for traffic measurement when you approve it in the cookie settings. Read about storage and consent.

Make your own character

Choose a base character, hairstyle and colours, then adjust chin, nose, mouth, lips, brows, lashes and teeth. Hollywood waves and a lion’s mane have a length slider that reaches extra-long hair. Muscle size and bust size have their own controls. You can try combinations in the avatar studio without changing your saved game profile.

Project and contact

The avatar face model is adapted from Snow Rig (CC) Blender Foundation | studio.blender.org, under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. Original model and creators. Gubbrunda adds game-specific face shapes, hairstyles, accessories, materials and expressions.

The pages are built with Hugo, and the game runs JavaScript in the browser. The source code is available in the project’s GitHub repository. The technical setup aims to make starting and resuming a game straightforward.
