Porkies: Bluff Trivia Party

The bluff trivia party game where the truth is boring and lying pays. Porkies is a party game for the room. A true fact comes up with a bit missing. Everyone writes a lie good enough to beat it. Then the room votes for the truth, and every friend your lie fooled sets your pants on fire. HEAT IS THE SCORE • Find the truth: 1,000 points. • Every friend your lie fools: 500 more, and a bigger fire. • Smoulder, Burning, Blaze, Inferno. Fool half the room and the whole screen goes up. • The truth comes last, on a plain card with no flames. The truth never fooled anyone. THREE KINDS OF QUESTION • Fact bluff: an obscure true fact with a blank. Beat it with a lie. • Truth About You: a question about someone in the room. They write the truth and a lie of their own, and everyone else writes a lie that sounds like them. • Guess Whose: everyone answers honestly, for once. Then match every answer to its owner. PICK THE TEMPERATURE Kids, Work, Mates or After Dark. The host's preset sets the questions and the word filter together. Every room starts filtered. After Dark is for adults, and only the host can switch it on. TELLY OPTIONAL A party game for any room. Play on phones alone and the reveal plays on every phone at once. Or put the room on any TV, laptop or tablet for the full bonfire, and a host who reads every lie out with a perfectly straight face. YOUR TOWN, YOUR TOPIC, YOUR CROWD Make a pack about a place, a topic or your group. Facts are checked against a source before you see them, and crowd packs never invent anything about real people. Buy packs in the app, or get two a month as an Empyreal Games Supporter. THE FINE PRINT • The whole question bank is free at every preset. No ads. • No account needed. • 3 to 10 players, plus an audience that likes their favourite lies. • Quick, Standard or Long Night: about 10 to 40 minutes. Every lie passes a word filter before anyone sees it, and the host can remove anyone from the room. Roast the lie, never the person. That is how a bluff trivia party game stays fun at family game night and down the pub alike.
