How to play

This game is played in person: part of it is tapping your phone and part is talking out loud, taking turns.

One phone per personEach player uses their own, right there.
3 to 16 playersEveryone together in the same place. It can't be played remotely.
You talk to the others, not to the phoneYou say your answer out loud and the others judge it. The phone doesn't listen to you.
Nothing to installIt opens in the browser. A tablet or TV makes it better, but it's optional.

One round, step by step

Answers are never typed: you say them out loud. The phone is only for tapping buttons.

👀 LOOK
A prompt appears on every phone, for example a fruit with the letter T.
🗣️ TALK
If the balloon is on your phone, say an answer out loud so everyone can hear you.
👆 TAP
Tap PASS: the balloon jumps to the phone of the person on your right, and it's their turn to talk.
👆 TAP
Did the person who just passed say something silly? Anyone else can tap BLUFF!.
🗣️ TALK
Everyone argues about whether that answer counts.
👆 TAP
Everyone votes on their phone: IT COUNTS! or BLUFF!.

One person creates the room and the others join with the QR or the link. Each player marks who's on their right.
Before each round, you vote to play or skip the prompt.
Nobody knows when the balloon will pop, and if you hold it too long, it pops on you.
When someone shouts BLUFF!, the majority decides:
- BLUFF!: it pops on them and you score 1.
- IT COUNTS!: you lose 1 and the balloon stays where it was.
Each round gives out points. Whoever has the most wins.

More details

Your time counts: the less you hold the balloon, the more you score at the end of the round: 3, 2 or 1. If it pops on you, 0.
Calling a bluff is a bet: if the vote is BLUFF! you score 1; if it's IT COUNTS! or a tie, you lose 1 and the round goes on as it was.
After the argument: if it counts, the balloon gets 5 more seconds, so it doesn't pop right after the vote.

There's one halfway through the game, explained before it starts. The winner scores 3 points.

Inflate: tap non-stop, with just one finger. The first to pop their balloon wins.
Draw: you have 10 seconds. The AI picks the best. If nobody in the room is under 13, it also picks the worst, who loses 1.
Roulette: put the phones together as shown on screen and tap READY. Whoever's phone the ball lands on wins.
Who is it?: everyone takes a photo. One appears very close up and slowly zooms out. Of those who guess whose it is, the three fastest score 3, 2 and 1. If fewer than 2 take one, it's skipped.
Throw: put the phones together as shown on screen. Swipe to throw the balloon to another phone. Whoever it pops on loses 1 and everyone else scores 1.

When creating the room you can choose to play only minigames, scoring points round by round: the same one every round, or all of them at random.

Every other round, something happens. The clock stops, it's explained, and it lasts until the round ends.

Optional: if you sign in with Google, you collect gold, silver and bronze balloons from one game to the next. You can play without an account.
