A free online bluffing game: write a lie, catch the truth
Banate Raho is a free online bluffing game for 2 to 10 players, played in a browser with phones as controllers. Each round, everyone writes a believable fake answer to a real question, then tries to pick the true answer from the list. It belongs to the same family as Fibbage and Psych!, with an animated, voiced host called Captain Bluff.
How the bluffing works
A question appears with a real answer that most people will not know, such as a strange law or an odd fact. Everyone writes a fake answer on their phone, trying to make it sound true. All the answers, plus the real one, are shuffled onto the screen and everyone votes. You score for picking the truth and for each player who picks your lie. On bluff decks, Captain Bluff also adds his own decoy answer, and anyone who falls for it scores nothing.
Two kinds of decks
Bluff decks have a real answer to find: Fun Facts, strange laws from around the world, brand taglines, movie plots and more. Funniest-answer decks have no right answer at all; the group simply votes for the best reply, as in Fill In The Blanks, Roast Your Dost or New Phone Who Dis. Bluff decks work with 2 or more players, while funniest-answer decks are best with 3 or more. Questions marked 18+ stay off unless the host turns them on.
Tips for better bluffs
Match the style of the question: if it wants a number, give a specific one rather than a round one. Borrow the wording of real facts so your lie sounds like it came from an encyclopedia. Avoid jokes on bluff decks unless you want to be spotted. Watch who votes for what, because the same friends tend to fall for the same kind of lie.
Questions
What is a bluffing party game?
A bluffing party game asks players to invent convincing fake answers to a real question, then score by spotting the true answer and by fooling others. Fibbage, Psych! and Banate Raho all work this way.
Is Banate Raho like Fibbage?
Yes, it is the same style of game: write a lie, find the truth. Banate Raho is free in the browser. SuperQuiz is not affiliated with Jackbox Games, which makes Fibbage.
Is Banate Raho like Psych!?
Yes. Players who know Psych! will recognise the write-a-fake-answer, vote-for-the-truth loop.
Can two people play?
Yes. Bluff decks work with 2 players, though 4 to 8 is the most fun. Rooms hold up to 10.
What does Banate Raho mean?
It is Hindi slang, roughly "keep fooling them". The game itself is played in English.
