About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever looked at a question and thought the answer was so absurd you couldn't tell if it was true or just a clever lie? That's exactly where Sounds Fishy thrives! Forget the idea that you need to be a genius or a walking encyclopedia to win. Here, the real secret isn't knowing the right answer, but having the instinct to spot the lies your friends are telling. If you enjoy the vibe of games like The Chameleon or Balderdash, you'll feel right at home, as the gameplay is very similar: bizarre questions paired with even crazier answers. The game is fast-paced and high-stakes: your goal is to eliminate the fake answers invented by other players, but—and here's the catch—one of those options is actually the real answer! If you accidentally pick the truth thinking it's a bluff, you lose all your points and your turn. It's a game of pure social adrenaline, requiring you to think on your feet, get incredibly creative with your fake answers, and, of course, push your luck. It's the perfect game for gathering friends, sharing laughs, and discovering who the biggest bluffers at the table are. Get your best poker face ready, because in Sounds Fishy, everyone has an answer for you, and not all of them are what they seem!
