Short Straw

Who Pays

A dinner game that decides who pays the bill. Everyone holds a finger on the screen; one gets picked.

  • Free
  • No accounts
  • No ads
  • Short Straw home screen: “Who’s paying?” above cards for The Draw, Last One Standing and Closest Call, with four numbered rings on The Draw.
    Pick a mode.
  • The Draw in progress: five numbered coloured rings on a dark screen, one under each player’s finger.
    Everyone holds a finger.
  • A result screen: “You’re both paying” for players 1 and 4, split 26% and 74%, in The Draw with five players.
    The bill gets split.

Three ways to decide.

  • The Draw

    Everyone holds a finger. One gets picked.

  • Last One Standing

    Fingers lift one by one. The last one pays.

  • Closest Call

    Guess the bill. Worst guess pays.

Try the draw.

Add a few players, then draw. One of them pays.

Tap anywhere to add a player. Up to five.

A sketch of The Draw for the web. In the app, everyone holds a finger on the phone at once and the round starts by itself, with sound and haptics.

It splits the bill, too.

One person can pay the lot, or two can share it, equally or at random. Every share is shown on screen.

Tap instead of hold.

For anyone who can't hold a finger steady, or is using VoiceOver, a tap-to-add list replaces the hold. Same game, same odds.

Nothing leaves this phone.

No account, no analytics, nothing about your dinner leaves this phone. Rounds aren’t stored.
