Familiar Chaos — Terms of Use

Last updated: May 17, 2026

By using Familiar Chaos, you agree to these terms. They're written in plain English on purpose.

What Familiar Chaos Is

Familiar Chaos is a novelty party game for groups. The host opens a room from one device; players join from their phones using a 4-character anonymous join code. The game then deals prompts, questions, and mini-challenges for the table to play together.

It's a prompt engine — what you and your group do with the prompts is up to you. Skip any card, any time, for any reason.

Open Beta

Familiar Chaos is currently in open beta. That means:

  • Things will break.
  • Cards will occasionally glitch.
  • We'll fix issues as we find them — and as you report them.

Use of the game during beta is at your own risk. Don't rely on it for anything mission-critical (it's a party game; please don't).

Privacy

We protect your data with everything we've got, but no system on the internet is unbreakable. Assume nothing online is fully private and use Familiar Chaos accordingly.

We collect the minimum we need to run the game (room codes, display names, scores, optional avatars). We don't sell personal data. Photo and audio submissions made inside a party are visible to that party only and are deleted automatically after the room closes.

Built For Everyone

Familiar Chaos was designed for accessible, low-pressure group play. The founders are neurodivergent and built the experience around clear pacing, easy opt-outs, and zero pile-ons. You can pass on anything without explaining why.

Community Submissions

If you submit content to Familiar Chaos, you affirm:

  • It's yours to submit, or you have permission to share it.
  • It doesn't target a specific person without their okay.
  • It's appropriate for a general-audience party game — no hate speech, harassment, or content that would be inappropriate for a family audience.

We may remove submissions at our discretion to keep the game welcoming. Repeated violations may end your access.

Things You Cannot Do

You may not use Familiar Chaos to:

  • Harass, bully, dox, or threaten anyone.
  • Share illegal content of any kind.
  • Reverse engineer, scrape, or abuse the platform's infrastructure.
  • Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with us.

Limitation of Liability

Familiar Chaos, its founders, employees, contractors, and partners are not liable for any damages arising out of your use of the game — including emotional, social, financial, or any other consequences of choices you and your group make while playing.

You are responsible for your own choices, your own boundaries, and your own wellbeing. The game is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Familiar Chaos, its founders, employees, contractors, and partners from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the game or your violation of these terms.

Account Termination

We may suspend or terminate access at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you're violating these terms or causing harm to other players.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms as the platform evolves. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated version. We'll bump the "Last updated" date at the top whenever we change anything meaningful.
