The word game where one player is faking it.

Everyone in the room gets the same secret word. Except one. You take turns dropping one-word hints, listen for the person who sounds slightly off, and vote them out. Rounds take about a minute. Play with 3-8 friends in the browser, or add bots to fill empty seats.

How a round works

  1. Open a room and share the six-letter code, or jump into a public lobby from the list on the front page.
  2. Pick a name, colour and icon. Takes ten seconds.
  3. Everyone sees the same secret word. Everyone except the imposter, who only sees a broad category.
  4. Take turns giving a one-word hint. Two hint rounds, then a vote.
  5. Crew wins by pointing at the right person. Imposter wins by not being that person.

Two modes

Word mode is the classic: everyone gets the same word, the imposter gets only the category. Fast, tight, easy to teach in one round.

Question mode hands out a prompt instead of a word (e.g. "a food you'd eat at 3am"). The imposter gets a slightly different prompt and has to blend their honest answer in with everyone else's.

Not enough friends online?

Add bots. They read the word, hint reasonably, chat a bit, vote, and take the imposter role when it comes around. They're beatable, and that's the point.

FAQ

Is it actually free?

Yes. No sign-up, no download, no ads. Anything paid down the road will be optional cosmetic stuff.

How many people can play?

Three at minimum, eight at max. Sweet spot is four to six.

Does it work on my phone?

Yeah, any modern browser on iOS or Android. No app to install.

Can I play with just one friend?

Add a couple of bots to round out the room. They read the word, hint plausibly, vote, and take the imposter role when their turn comes. You'll usually spot them, but not always.

How is this different from Spyfall?

Same core idea (one player is out of the loop) but no shared device, no physical cards, and rounds are ~60 seconds instead of eight minutes. Runs in a browser tab.

Is it a Skribbl.io alternative?

No drawing. You give words, not pictures. If you liked the online-party feel of Skribbl but can't draw to save your life, this is for you.

And Among Us?

Same social-deduction DNA, no map, no tasks. It's a word game, not an action game. Shorter rounds, no walking around.

Can I use it on Discord, Zoom or Teams?

That's most of how people use it. Open the site, share the room code in chat, friends join from a browser. Works fine in a screen-share too, but each player is better off on their own device so they don't see each other's word.

Who makes this

Blffr.io is built and run by Fred, an independent developer in Denmark. It's a one-person side project, not a company: there's no sign-up, nothing is for sale, and the site never asks for payment details. Questions, bug reports and word suggestions all reach a real person at hello@blffr.io, usually answered within a day or two.
