Faking It is a game where players compete to find out who is lying, based on their answer to a question (they think) was asked to all of them.
- cd into the Faking-It directory
- Run npm start
- On your browser, go to localhost:3000
- Have fun playing!
- 3–8 players (best with 4–6)
- One device per player (or shared screen)
- 3 Rounds
- Each round has 3 questions
- Each question there is a new Faker
- The Twist: You don't know if you're the Faker or not...
Everyone answers about the same category, but the Faker gets a twist.
- Real Players: Answer the main question
Example: "Who makes the best music?" → “Taylor Swift” - Faker: Answers a related but different question
Example: "Name a musician who has never won a Grammy." → “Nicki Minaj”
Faker's Goal: Sound like you belong. Use confidence, detail, and group energy.
Everyone picks a name of someone in the group, the Faker must blend in.
- Real Players: Answer honestly about the group
Example: "Who here has the most money?" → “Sarah, she’s always buying new clothes!” - Faker: Fake it convincingly
Example: "Who here would need help paying rent?" → “Probably Alex”
Faker's Goal: Chooses a player’s name and needs to convince the group that they picked that person for the actual question
Everyone gives a number — but the Faker's prompt is unrelated.
- Real Players: Answer truthfully
Example: "How many times have you cried in the past month?" → “3” - Faker: Pick a plausible number for a different question
Example: "How many text messages have you received today?" → “47”
Faker's Goal: Try to blend in
- After answers, 30-second discussion.
- Everyone votes: “Who is the Faker?”
- Reveal:
- Faker caught? → Real players get +1 point each
- Faker survives? → Faker gets +2 points
- Play all 3 rounds. Highest score wins!
Have fun, lie convincingly, and may the best bluffer win!
