Who Said That? the YouTube panel show and podcast hosted by Mark Olver is now available as a mobile app for friends and family to play against each other. The game sees friends ask each other questions, anonymously submit answers, and then try to work out whose answer is whose. A ChatGPT-generated extra answer, from robot player Alan BOT, can also be added making it even harder as players have to try and figure out which answer is their friend’s and which is from the AI.

 

The app is a spin-off from the comedy panel show and podcast of the same name that launched in 2020 during the height of lockdown and has since gone on to achieve over 250,000 viewers and listeners. Guests of the show included the likes of James Acaster, Joel Dommett, Kerry Godliman, Richard Osman, Rosie Jones, Russell Howard, Jon Richardson, Ed Gamble, Lou Sanders and Richard Herring.

The mobile app now allows friends and family to play against each other either all together at home, at a party, at the pub, or remotely with games taking place over numerous days. This is their chance to see how well they really know their friends, fool each other by pretending to be someone else and don their detective hats to try and figure out who’s who. It’s a fun and competitive game for any occasion and for all ages.

“After incredible feedback for the panel show from audiences worldwide, it’s brilliant that people can now play Who Said That? themselves. I can't believe how well Alan BOT (our ChatGPT player) does at fooling everyone. It gives a great spin to the game and has everyone doubting their guesses and how well they really know their friends”, said developer Simon Gummer.

The game was developed single-handedly by London-based Simon Gummer who also created and produced the YouTube series and Podcast. Learning to code over the course of a year Simon had no previous experience with creating apps; this is his first release. When not working on Who Said That? Simon is a freelance Television Producer working on unscripted TV for the UK and US.
