Mesh Party › Guides
A That's You! alternative that needs only your phones
That's You! was the PlayStation party game about your own friends: who is most likely to, who said what, whose photo is whose. Today it is very hard to play. Here is why, and what you can play instead with nothing but phones.
What happened to That's You!
That's You! (2017) was a PlayLink game by Wish Studios for PlayStation 4, published by Sony. Two to six players answered questions about each other on their phones while the game ran on the TV.
- The game disappeared from the PlayStation Store by November 2023, without an official announcement.
- On 14 December 2023 Sony said the companion app would no longer be offered on Google Play to phones running Android versions newer than 9.
- Later the app was removed from Google Play and the App Store altogether, and the game cannot be played without it.

Games about each other in Mesh Party
The best part of That's You! was learning things about the people around you. Mesh Party has no console version of it, but several of its games are built on the same idea:
- Mind Match: everyone secretly answers the same question. Do you think like your friends?
- Two Truths and a Lie: two true facts about yourself and one lie; the group votes on which is fake.
- Truth or Dare: players write the questions themselves, so they're about your group, not a generic deck.
- Who Am I?: friends pick a character for you, and you guess it with yes/no questions.
