Grab the Ember and RUN! An up-to-10-player asymmetric party game of hot potato. Tiny Tricksters must pass the burning Ember every 10 seconds, while armed Wardens hunt them down and destroy it. Use abilities, set traps, and scream at your friends in chaotic proximity chat. Up to 10 players. One burning Ember. 10 seconds to pass it. • Grab the Ember and RUN. • Pass it every 10 seconds before it explodes. • Tricksters keep it alive. Wardens shoot it apart. • Use ridiculous abilities, dirty traps, and proximity voice chat. Too Hot To Hold is a chaotic online multiplayer party game of hot potato for up to 10 players. At the start of every match, a burning Ember is thrown into play. Tricksters can only hold it for 10 seconds before it explodes in their hands, so pass it, throw it across the room, or dump it on someone else before time runs out. Meanwhile, armed Wardens enter the hunt and try to destroy the Ember before the Tricksters survive the full 5-minute round. Expect screaming, betrayals, stupid abilities, last-second passes, and terrible decisions.
