About the game
What you do in a play session
Rank my Denk! is a cooperative party game where the challenge isn’t just guessing the word—it’s figuring out how well (or badly) someone was trying to perform! You can act, draw, describe, or even make sounds to help your team guess. But here’s the twist: you must perform at a secret level, from 1 (terrible) to 5 (brilliant). The fun lies in whether the group can guess not just what you were trying to convey, but also if you were aiming for genius or intentionally ridiculous. The better your team syncs, the more points you score together! Perfect for those who love a fresh dynamic and lots of laughs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
How many players are ideal?
4 to 8 players is the sweet spot, but it even works with 2 (in a more intimate setting).
Do I need to be good at drawing or acting?
Nope! In fact, you might TRY to be bad on purpose. The goal is to have fun and laugh together.
How long does a game last?
Around 20-30 minutes, but it can stretch if the group keeps sharing hilarious stories between rounds.
Is it hard to learn?
Not at all! Rules are simple, and you’ll get the hang of it by the first round. The manual is very straightforward.
Is it good for non-competitive players?
Absolutely! Here, everyone cooperates—even when someone’s trying to be deliberately terrible.
