About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud game where trust is a luxury! In Snakesss, the goal is to answer a multiple-choice question in just two minutes. Sounds easy, right? That's where the game gets you! Some players are the 'snakes,' who already know the correct answer and have one mission: to deceive everyone else. While the 'innocents' try to discuss, analyze options, and arrive at the right answer, the snakes work behind the scenes to sow confusion and steer the group down the wrong path. The more people who get it right, the more points for the team! But if the snakes manage to mislead the majority, they score points, and everyone else is left scratching their heads. It's a game of pure bluffing and deduction, perfect for livening up any party. The interaction is constant, the discussions are hilarious, and the tension of trying to figure out who the snake is (or being the snake and getting away with it!) is what makes Snakesss so much fun. With super simple rules and lightning-fast rounds, it's the kind of game you play once and immediately want to play again. Ideal for anyone who enjoys party games with a touch of mystery and a whole lot of silliness.
