blffr.ioEveryone 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.
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.
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.
Yes. No sign-up, no download, no ads. Anything paid down the road will be optional cosmetic stuff.
Three at minimum, eight at max. Sweet spot is four to six.
Yeah, any modern browser on iOS or Android. No app to install.
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.
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.
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.
Same social-deduction DNA, no map, no tasks. It's a word game, not an action game. Shorter rounds, no walking around.
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.
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.
