BluffBuddy gives one organizer dashboard for date polls, guest self-service, SMS or email invites, RSVPs, tournament structures, live display mode, and follow-up reminders. No spreadsheet rituals. No lost text threads.
Invite guests by phone number or email, then run game day with a live clock, fullscreen display, and voice alerts.
Game Day Control
Live clock, TV-ready display mode, and audible break or level cues.
Keep the room aligned without manually calling out every transition.
Guest Self-Service
Guests can vote, RSVP, add notes, view maps, and send feedback from one link.
Reduce organizer back-and-forth while keeping the guest experience clean and current.
Designed around the real home-game failure points
Every feature exists to reduce the organizer burden between "let's play" and "we are locked."

SMS consent is explicit
BluffBuddy uses a guest page and branded consent prompts. We do not use unsolicited SMS as the first step for collecting guest opt-in. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
1. Organizer shares a guest link or branded CTA
ActDaily, Inc. d/b/a BluffBuddy sends guests to a public guest page instead of asking them to consent from an unknown number.
2. Guest opts in on the guest page
The guest page explains the alert type, organizer, and what messages they will receive before any SMS game alerts are sent.
3. JOIN confirms the branded flow
Guests may reply JOIN only after they have seen the BluffBuddy guest CTA or consent prompt. STOP and HELP are always supported.
