What you need
A phone each and about ten minutes. One person starts a game, picks how many couples are
playing, and reads out the code. Everyone else types it in on their own phone.
Up to four couples. With more than one, every couple answers the same question at the same
time and all the cards are turned over together, which is how the television show ran it.
The idea
One of you predicts how the other will answer a question. Then the other one
answers it for real. If the guess was close, the guesser scores.
You are not playing against anybody else. You are playing against each other, and the
question is which of you knows the other better.
Round one
Three questions, five points each. One of you guesses on all three, the other
answers all three. Small, factual questions. This round is where you find out that one of
you does not know what the other had for lunch.
Round two
Three more questions, ten points each, and you swap jobs. Harder questions, about
what somebody wants rather than what they did. Worth double, so being behind after round one
means nothing.
The bonus
One question, twenty five points, and it goes to whoever is losing. It is the
hardest question in the game and it is the reason the rest of it exists. Anyone can still
win here.
Who decides if a guess counted
The person who answered decides. There is no referee. If your partner guessed
"something with chicken" and you said "chicken curry", that is entirely up to you.
Arguing about this is not a flaw in the game. It is the game.
While you wait
When it is not your turn your phone tells you to wait. Do not lean over and look. The whole
thing only works if neither of you can see the other's screen, which is why your phone is
not sent the answer until you have both committed.
Nothing is saved
No accounts, no email, nothing written down. What you type lives only for the length of the
game and the room deletes itself afterwards. There is no way to go back and read it, on
purpose, including for us.
