We’re all made of so much more than what people see.
This game is just an excuse (a good one) to ask the questions we don’t usually get to ask, and say the things we don’t always say.
Because what matters lives below the surface.

How to Play

Mode 1: Mind Game (3-5 players)

First, Player 1 draws a card and reads the question aloud. They secretly write down their honest answer.
Then, the others have 2 minutes to guess Player 1’s answer. They can ask up to 4 yes/no questions, but Player 1 must lie once (in any order).
When the time’s up, each player makes one guess.
Player 1 decides whose guess came closest. That player scores 1 point.
If none are meaningfully close, Player 1 scores 1 point.

🙃 Everyone has to play detective using what they know about Player 1 and when everyone has a piece of the puzzle, you'll have to try to detangle the many versions of the same person colliding to work out the answer.

Mode 2: Team Edition (5+ players)

Form teams by counting off: Starting at Player 1 and moving clockwise assign players, 1, 2, 1, 2, ... All "1"s are Team 1 and all "2"s are Team 2.
Player 1 draws a card and reads the question aloud. They secretly write down their honest answer.
Each team may ask up to 3 yes/no questions, Player 1 must give one lie, all others are true
After the timer is up, each team submits one guess
Player 1 picks which team was closest. That team gets 1 point.

🙃 While Player 1 wants their own team to win, giving them too much clues might just as easily help the other side.

Mode 3: Deep Dive (2+ players)

Player 1 draws a card and chooses someone to answer (you can skip this last bit if you are a duo of course)
The latter can choose to “Answer” or “Pass”
If they pass, Player 1 can pick someone else or draw a new card
After an answer, the responder becomes the next drawer.
