Just Ask!
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Your brain has forty-seven tabs open. The tiny council has one brain cell between them.
Welcome to Oddball Oracle: a playful question-and-answer card toy starring three suspiciously confident plush creatures.
Ask a question, pick a card, and get a funny, topic-based answer. Wondering whether to send that message?
“Send it. It’s a text, not a UN resolution.”
Meet your advisers:
• Miso — tiny teeth, enormous confidence.
• Nimbus — dry wit, slight chance of rain.
• Sprout — all sunshine, no risk assessment.
Choose gentle wit, cheeky comedy, or full nonsense. Boop the creatures, save favourite cards, and share a punchline with a friend.
Features:
• Three free card reveals daily per browser.
• English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.
• Animated characters and optional sound effects.
• Optional British English or Mandarin narration, depending on available device voices.
• Play in your browser—no game account required.
A little comedy for life’s smaller dilemmas. The creatures provide the opinions; you make the decisions.
For entertainment and reflection, not predictions or professional advice.

HOW TO PLAY
Choose a creature and humour setting. Type a question—or borrow a suggested one—then pick a card to reveal your answer. Sound effects and narration are optional.
SAVES AND DAILY PLAYS
Favourite cards and the daily allowance are stored locally in your browser. Clearing browser data removes them. If browser storage is unavailable, you can reveal three cards during that visit.
VOICE SUPPORT
Narration requires a matching British English or Mandarin voice available on your device. If none is available, you can still play with text and sound effects.
IF SOMETHING DOESN’T LOAD
Check that you extracted the ZIP first and that index.html remains alongside app.js, locales.js, style.css, and the image files.
