Who am I?
The classic guessing party game, played remotely. Every player gets a secret character chosen by the others and asks yes/no questions to find out who they are. Create a room, send the link to friends and family, play — no accounts, nothing to install.
Play: https://whoami.escapist.club/
Features
- Rooms with a 6-character code and a link to share (the Share button opens the phone's share sheet)
- Players assign characters to each other; your own stays hidden until you reveal it
- Emoji avatars or your own photo
- English and Russian
- Reconnects after a lost connection
- Installable as an app (PWA); needs an internet connection
How to Run
Running the game needs Node.js 22 or newer: npm start runs wrangler dev, the Cloudflare Workers runtime on your machine, with the game's rooms (Durable Objects) and files.
npm install
npm start # http://localhost:8787
Development
npx playwright install chromium # once: the browser for the browser tests
npm test # all checks: ESLint, Jest, then the game in a real browser (Playwright)
npm run lint # ESLint only
npm run test:e2e # browser tests only: a phone and a desktop, several players per room
CLAUDE.md — architecture, rules, git flowdocs/testing.md — how the tests are organized and writtendocs/release.md — releases, hotfixes and the check of productiondocs/publishing.md — link previews, robots, where the site's address is written
The documents in docs/ are written in Russian.
Technologies
- Server: Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects (one per room), WebSocket
- Browser: plain JavaScript and Bootstrap 5 — no framework, no build step
- Checks: ESLint, Jest, Playwright and axe-core
- Hosting: Cloudflare (Workers Builds deploys every push to master)

License
The code is released under the MIT License.
The license does not cover the game's brand: the "WHO AM I?" sign (svg.brand-sign in the pages), the wax-seal app icon (public/icons/, public/favicon.ico, scripts/icon.html) and the link preview picture (public/img/og-image-2.jpg, scripts/og-image.html). All rights to them are reserved (except the emoji avatars in the picture, drawn by the system's emoji font); a copy of the game must replace them with its own.
Third-party files keep their own licenses: the fonts in public/fonts/ (SIL Open Font License; Ultra — Apache License 2.0; the license files are next to the fonts) and Bootstrap in public/vendor/bootstrap/ (MIT). The cup in the Buy Me a Coffee button (public/img/bmc-cup.svg) is Buy Me a Coffee's logo.
