From the Huddle Dictionary

Huddle

/ˈhəd(ə)l/noun · verb

  2. verb.To draw together in close proximity, especially in order to hold a secret.

    “Six friends huddled around a coffee table, phones face-down.”

Huddle Night

/ˈhəd(ə)l nīt/noun

  1. The evening on which a group of three to ten humans, in a single physical room, decide they would rather play one round of Spyfall than scroll alone. No TV is required. No app is required. One phone per person, and a four-digit code that lives for two hours.
  2. idiomatic.A reliable cure for the flat night — the kind of dinner where everyone reaches for their feed by 9:14 PM.

Etymology. Coined 2025. Originally the working title of an open-source project at huddlenight.com; now used loosely for any phone-on-the-table party-game session.
