Bluff mode

Bluff.

Balderdash energy with a Quiplash budget. Teams submit fake answers, everyone picks the real one out of the lineup, and points roll in for every team a fake fools. Works best on mixed crowds where trivia knowledge is no one's advantage.

Bluff voting on a phone: which is the real answer among four convincing fakes

Captured from a live game

How a Bluff round runs

Five beats. The first one is "panic-write your fake answer." Everything good comes after that.

01

Pose a question

"What does 'sackbut' mean?" or "What's the actual plot of Tron: Legacy?" The room thinks they know. Half do.

02

Teams submit fake answers

Up to 90 seconds on the clock (or no clock at all) to write the most convincing lie they can. Two tables writing the same fake each get their own spot on the ballot, so it is a laugh, not a broken round.

03

Real plus fakes go on the screen

Anonymized, shuffled. The display shows the real answer mixed in with all the fakes. Nobody knows who wrote what.

04

Everyone votes

Tap the answer you think is real (never your own fake). The vote count ticks up live on your host screen as they come in. The reveal pause is the whole show.

05

Reveal and score

The real answer lights up. Each fake shows who wrote it and how many teams it fooled. Points for every team a fake fooled, and points for every team that spotted the real answer. The fake-answer winner usually goes viral at the table.

What makes it shine

Casual or corporate filter

Casual blocks the clearly out-of-line stuff. Corporate holds fakes to a work-event standard, anything HR would flag. Or switch the filter off entirely. Same game, different gloves.

Host-reviewed ballot

A fake the filter flags waits for you: approve it or toss it before the vote opens. Every answer gets its own letter on the ballot. No "wait, which 'C' did I vote for?"

Fool-the-team scoring

Points scale with how many teams you fooled. A fake nobody picked? Zero points. A fake that fooled half the room? You won the round. Knowledge optional.

Real-time vote tally

As votes come in, the count on your host screen climbs, then the reveal on the TV shows exactly who fell for which fake (or just the counts, if you'd rather spare the table). Comedic gold without scripting it.

Trivia knowledge optional

Bluff doesn't reward "I happen to know this." It rewards "I can write a convincing-sounding lie." Different muscle. Better for mixed crowds where some people know everything and some know nothing.

Custom prompt packs for events

Write your prompts ahead in the round's Bluff setup, then pick each one at launch. A wedding-themed set ("things the bride said in elementary school"), a bachelorette set, a company-history set. The fake-answer mechanic makes the prompt set bespoke without writing 40 trivia questions.

Live voting-card preview while you build

As you build the round, the creator renders the actual vote ballot in a live preview pane. Spot prompts that don't fool well before opening night. Auto Assist read-aloud can say the real answer out loud in your chosen voice, so the room hears the verdict, not just reads it.

Where Bluff fits best

Mixed crowds. Strangers at one table. Anywhere knowing-stuff isn't the point.
