About

Bluff

Features
Read full description

Bluff is a fast-paced party game for 3 to 20 players that you can pick up and play in seconds. Each round, players are secretly shown a word — except for the Imposter, who only sees a vague hint. Players take turns giving clues about the word, and the Imposter has to bluff their way through without being caught. After everyone has spoken, the group discusses and votes. Expose the Imposter and the group wins. Survive undetected and the Imposter takes it all. HOW TO PLAY • Add your players and choose your categories • Pass the phone around — each player holds to reveal their secret card • Everyone gives one clue. The Imposter must improvise • Discuss, vote, and expose the faker — or get fooled FEATURES • 12 hand-picked categories — Movies & TV, Sports, Music, Video Games, Science, Animals and more • Up to 3 Imposters for larger groups • Optional hints for the Imposter to make rounds easier or harder • No accounts, no internet, no setup — just pick up and play • Built for parties, pre-drinks, and game nights
