How a night goes

A night takes as long as you let it.

No setup, no scoring, no turn order to remember. Some nights it is five minutes before you go to sleep. Some nights it is not.

01

Roll the die.

By hand. It chooses which deck tonight comes from — the app never rolls it for you.

02

Take the card on top.

You do not shuffle and you do not pick. Whatever is next is tonight.

03

Both of you answer.

There is no winner and nothing to keep score of.

04

Take one photo.

It seals. Neither of you sees it again until the year is finished.

05

Put the card behind the divider.

The finished side of the box grows. That is the whole progress bar.

The part nobody else does

One photo a night, sealed for a year.

Every night you keep, the two of you take one photo. Neither of you sees a single one until the three hundred and sixty-fifth.

Then the app hands you all of them at once, in order, as a film of the year the two of you spent paying attention to each other.

The photos are encrypted end to end.How that works

0 of 365 Nights kept Each dot is a night. The colour is the deck it came from.

Barakah Games

Made to be played, not studied.

Games made for Muslims have usually been made to teach. Well meant, educational, and quietly left in the cupboard. We build for the room first — two people or five — and let the deen sit inside the game rather than printed on top of it.

About Barakah Games

One card a night, for a year, with the person you already live beside.
