Hot Potato is a mobile device application that serves as a timer for the family-party board game of the same name by Alexander Toys. The app provides a convenient way to mark the timeframe within which players have to answer questions during each round of the game. With varied and randomly allotted time limits, players never know when the potato will "burn" them, making the game even more exciting. The use of the application allows players to enjoy the game almost anywhere, from train rides to barbecue parties, or while waiting for appointments. Hot Potato is a free application that adds a fun and interactive element to the classic board game.
