MASH is a beloved pen-and-paper fortune-telling game from the schoolyard, where MASH stands for the four homes you might end up in: Mansion, Apartment, Shack, or House. You list a few options in each category, pick a magic number, and count through the choices eliminating one at a time until your 'future' is decided. This version does all the counting for you and works for one player or a whole group taking turns on one phone - and it's a giggly hit on video calls too: share your screen, let the family shout options to fill in, and reveal a cousin's future together from three time zones away.

Frequently asked questions

What does MASH stand for?＋

MASH stands for Mansion, Apartment, Shack, and House - the four types of home the game predicts you'll live in. It's also the name of the whole fortune-telling game.

How does the magic number work?＋

The magic number is how many options you count before crossing one out. The game repeats this - counting and eliminating - until only one option remains in each category, which becomes your fortune.

Can I use my own options?＋

Yes! Edit the partner, job, car, city, and kids categories with any names or answers you like - the funnier the better. The Home row stays as the classic M-A-S-H.

Is it free?＋

Completely free, with no sign-up and no downloads. It runs right in your browser on any device.

Can we play MASH over a video call?＋

Yes - share your screen in the call, let everyone shout suggestions for the partner, job, car, and city lists (the sillier the better), then spin the magic number and watch the future get revealed live for the whole call.
