What is Psych!?
Psych! is a social trivia game built around believable lies. A question has one true answer, but every player writes a convincing fake. The group votes for the answer they think is real. You score for spotting the truth and for fooling other players with your bluff.
Players
3–12 players
Round
10–30 minutes
Device
One shared phone, tablet, or computer
How it works
- 1Choose players and a five, ten, or fifteen-question game.
- 2Pass the device so everyone writes a unique false answer.
- 3Vote privately, reveal the truth, and score correct guesses and successful bluffs.
Example round
Ask: “Which animal makes cube-shaped droppings?” Players could submit rabbit, llama, or goat. Mix those bluffs with the real answer—wombat—then let everyone vote. Players score for choosing the truth and for every vote their bluff earns.
Write a convincing bluff
- Keep it short and match the style of the question.
- Make it plausible, not obviously funny or obscure.
- Avoid copying another player’s wording.
