About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a game of mystery and bluffing where unmasking intruders is the mission! In Little Secret, you're part of a secret organization and need to identify who doesn't belong. Each round, everyone gets cards with secret words. If you have a word, you're either a Disciple or an Infiltrator – but you don't know which! If you don't have a word, that's where the danger lies: you're the Journalist. The goal is to give clues about your secret word so others help you find who's "out of the loop." But be careful, because the Infiltrators and the Journalist want to remain unnoticed!
In turns, each player gives a clue about their word. The group debates, tries to guess who's lying or who has no word at all, and then comes the vote to eliminate someone. Forming alliances is key to not being the next one out! The game continues until only Disciples remain or just two players are left in the contest. Those who avoid elimination rack up points. It's a fast-paced, fun game that requires attention to avoid falling into any traps. The English edition even includes cards that allow for 21 games without shuffling, which is a lifesaver for those who want uninterrupted play. Perfect for livening up any gathering with friends or family, especially in larger groups where chaos and laughter are guaranteed.
