How a round of Boss's Bluff runs

  1. The prompt appears. The TV shows a question with a blank, such as a moment from history with one word missing.
  2. Everyone writes a lie. On their phone, each player types a believable wrong answer. Stuck? You can be dealt a ready-made bluff.
  3. The TV mixes them in. The real answer is shuffled in with the lies, and the room votes.
  4. Points. You score for finding the truth and for every player your lie fools. A game has three rounds, takes around twelve minutes, and the last prompt counts triple. It ends with a podium and awards such as Best Liar.

Bluffing trivia or a classic quiz?

A classic trivia night rewards what you know. Bluffing trivia rewards what you can make up, so a person who knows nothing about the topic can still win by writing a convincing lie, and an expert can be fooled by a good one. That makes it kinder to mixed groups. If your group wants straight questions and answers, the Daily History Quiz and Daily Art Quiz are quick solo rounds you can read out together.

Build a whole evening

  • Warm-up (5 minutes). Everyone plays the Daily History Quiz on their own phone, then compares scores.
  • Main event (15 minutes). One game of Boss's Bluff.
  • Picture round (20 minutes). Boss Draw, where you guess drawings.
  • Wind-down. Board Game Night for those who want chess, poker or cards.

Family and classroom use

Typed answers pass a strict family-room filter, and the host can hide any answer or skip any prompt with one tap. For a room with younger children, Kid Mode deals every phone the same hand of ready-made cards, with the real answer among them, so nobody has to type. See family-friendly games.
