Boulette

Boulette is a real-time, mobile-first party game in the spirit of Taboo or Charades. Players split into teams and take turns getting their teammates to guess words within a time limit, across three rounds with different rules (free description, one word only, mime).

Built with:

• Convex for the real-time backend (database and server functions)
• React with TanStack Router for the frontend
• Vite as the build tool
• Tailwind CSS for styling
• Convex Auth for authentication

Getting started

npm install
npm run dev

This runs the frontend (Vite) and backend (convex dev) together.

Scripts

• npm run dev — run frontend and backend in parallel
• npm run dev:frontend — frontend only
• npm run dev:backend — backend only
• npm run build — type-check and build for production
• npm run lint — type-check and lint
• npm run preview — preview the production build locally
