Bluff Circle – the pass-the-phone party word game

One phone, 3–12 friends, one secret word… and someone who is bluffing.

How to play

  • Pass the phone around. Each player taps to peek at a secret word, then hides it.
  • Everyone gets the same word – except the Bluffer, who only knows the category.
  • Take turns giving one clue. Too obvious and the Bluffer learns the word; too vague and you look guilty.
  • Vote someone out. Catch every Bluffer to win – but a caught Bluffer can still steal the round by guessing the word.

Modes and options

  • Category clue: the Bluffer knows they are the Bluffer and sees only the category.
  • Similar word: the Bluffer gets a close word (cat / tiger) and does not know it – a classic odd-one-out twist.
  • Up to 3 Bluffers, an optional Blank player who gets no word at all, and a discussion timer.
  • 20 categories × 30+ word pairs in 13 languages, chosen for each country, not machine-translated.
