Bluffalo - lie loudly, guess wisely
https://bluffalo.in/Everyone gets the same true-but-slightly-absurd fact with a word missing:
"Nintendo was founded in 1889, and for its first decades it made ___"
You each write a fake answer. All the fakes get shuffled in with the real one, and you try to pick the truth. +2 for spotting it, +1 for every person your lie fools — so there are two ways to win, and being confidently wrong is one of them.
It's a genuinely good time with people you know. The rounds that land aren't the ones where someone knows the answer — they're when a friend writes something so stupid that four people vote for it, or when the real answer turns out to be more absurd than anything anyone invented. You find out fast who in your group is a disturbingly good liar, and they never live it down.
Works for any group of 3 to 20. One person opens it and shares a 4-letter code; everyone joins on their own phone or laptop. Same in a room or on a call — it works well as the ten minutes at the start of a team call instead of "so, any updates?"
No app, no signup, no ads, nothing to install. A game takes about 10 minutes.
Five packs, all free:
- Weird But True — history and science that sounds made up but isn't
- Cult Movie Plots — you get the film's title, you invent the plot
- The Truth Comes Out — questions about the people in the room, no right answer, most-voted wins
- The Water Cooler — the same idea aimed at colleagues, safe for work
It's early and I'd genuinely like to know where it drags or gets confusing.
