About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a wacky party game where memory and bluffing go hand in hand! In "That's Not a Hat: Incognito," the idea is simple: each card shows an abstract and crazy personality – think of a traffic cone with a crown, a beard, or disguised as an animal. Whoever receives the card creates an identity for it and passes it on. The challenge? Remembering who is who in this whole mess! If doubt strikes, you can try to convince the group with an Oscar-worthy bluff, or invent a new personality that combines the characteristics of several cards to confuse everyone. Be careful, because if you're caught lying, the penalty can be steep! This version brings an 'extreme' variant for those who enjoy an extra challenge and a new symbol on the cards that adds another layer of strategy. It guarantees fun for groups who like to laugh, bluff, and test their memory in quick games full of twists. Perfect for breaking the ice or for ending the night on a high note, "That's Not a Hat: Incognito" promises laughter and moments of pure tension as you try to figure out who is behind each mask (or cone!).
