Sleeping Lions Timer
Everyone lies down and stays still and quiet like a sleeping lion while the microphone listens for giggles and noise. A cartoon eye blinks open at the first sound, and a gentle timer tracks who lasts.

How to play
- Type each player's name on its own line (or leave it blank to just run a group timer), set the minutes, and tap Start napping.
- Everyone lies down and stays as still and quiet as possible while the countdown runs.
- Turn on the microphone so noise wakes the den automatically, or tap Wake a lion by hand if you'd rather referee by eye and ear.
- The round ends calmly with a soft tone once only one lion is left asleep or the timer reaches zero — tap Reset to play again.
List your players, set how many minutes everyone needs to lie still and quiet, and tap Start napping: the den goes calm, the countdown begins, and a sleeping lion waits for the first sound. Turn on the microphone and it listens for giggles or noise — the moment it hears something, a cartoon eye blinks open and one still-sleeping name is gently marked out, with no alarms or shouting. No microphone handy, or want a human referee instead? Tap Wake a lion whenever you spot movement or hear a sound, which works exactly the same way. The round ends quietly when only one lion is left asleep or the timer runs out, with a soft chime rather than fireworks, because a stillness game should end the way it started: calm.
Frequently asked questions
- What happens when the microphone hears noise?
- A cartoon eye blinks open for a moment and the next still-sleeping name on the list is marked out. There's a short cooldown after each wake so one long giggle or noise burst doesn't eliminate more than one lion at a time.
- Do I need a microphone to play?
- No. If the microphone is off or your browser blocks it, a Wake a lion button appears so you can referee by eye and ear instead, marking someone out with a tap exactly the way the microphone would.
- Why doesn't the game end with confetti and cheering like your other party tools?
- Sleeping Lions is a calming-down game, so the finish is deliberately quiet: a soft tone and a simple message rather than fireworks, matching the settle-down mood the game is meant to create.
