Bluff Desk

How the night unfolds

1. 01

   Meet an unfamiliar word

   A word appears for everyone to see. If somebody already knows it, skip it before anyone starts writing. Each match lasts five rounds.

2. 02

   Write your best bluff

   Pass the phone and privately type one plausible definition. Keep it short and convincing. Duplicate fake definitions need a rewrite. An exact match with the real definition earns two points and skips your voting turn.

3. 03

   Find the truth

   The app mixes the real definition with the bluffs and hides their authors. Pass the phone again for private votes. You cannot vote for your own bluff.

4. 04

   Open the desk

   After every eligible player has voted, reveal the truth, the bluff writers, and the points. Move to the next word; the highest total after five rounds wins, with ties shared.

Picture this

Imagine an unfamiliar word that sounds like a kitchen tool. A short, specific invented definition often sounds more convincing than a long, elaborate story.

A few good ground rules

• No looking words up during the round.
• A player should hide their submitted definition before passing the phone.
• The truth deck uses researched words and independently written explanations.
