BluGame games · Rules and features
Everyone except one person knows the same secret word. In a round of word association, you try to spot the Impostor, who's improvising with no idea what's going on.
Rules
These are the same rules the app shows players in the game menu.
Everyone except one person (the Impostor) knows the same secret word. The Group wins by correctly voting out the Impostor. The Impostor wins by guessing the secret word, by the vote missing them, or — when a Detective is in play — by guessing the Detective's identity after a vote that did hit them.
Villager — knows the secret word; their only weapon is careful listening and voting. Detective (optional) — knows the word just like a Villager, but if the vote hits the Impostor, the Impostor gets one last chance specifically against them: guessing that they are the Detective. Impostor — exactly one person, does NOT know the secret word and must blend into the association round without giving that away.
Each player in turn says one word or short association related to the secret word — out loud, at the table, not in the app. The app only shows whose turn it is. Not knowing the word, the Impostor has to improvise something plausible based on what they've heard from others.
At any point from the end of dealing to the close of voting, the Impostor may try once to guess the secret word — a correct guess ends the round in their favor. If they don't guess, the table votes secretly on who they suspect is the Impostor. A vote that misses them (including a tie or a majority abstaining) means an immediate win for the Impostor.
When a Detective is in play and the vote hits the Impostor, the Impostor gets one last chance: guessing who the Detective is. A correct guess still wins it for them; a wrong guess (or no action before the time limit) hands the win to the Group. Points add up after every round, and the table can start another round with the same lineup — a fresh secret word and a fresh deal each time.
Example
Step by step, the way it plays out at the table.
Five friends sit down at the table — the host picks the "animals" word bank category and creates the table. After the silent deal, everyone checks their role: four of them see the word "giraffe", the fifth (Mark) only sees that he's the Impostor — with no hint at all.
Each in turn throws out one association: "long neck", "savanna", "tall"... Not knowing the word, Mark listens carefully and offers a cautious "Africa" — general enough not to give away that he has no idea what's going on.
Nobody guesses the word before voting starts. Two players start to suspect Mark — his association was a bit too generic. The table votes secretly, and the vote lands on him.
There was no Detective this round, so the successful vote ends it immediately in the Group's favor — the screen reveals that Mark really was the Impostor. Points are recorded, and the host can start another round right away with a fresh secret word.
In the BluGame app
What happens in the phones and what stays at the table.
The app deals roles quietly: everyone sees only their own role, and the Impostor gets no hint at all.
The host picks a word-bank category and the app chooses the secret word from it. For now the words are available in Polish only — we plan to translate the bank in a next step.
The association round happens out loud, at the table — the app only shows whose turn it is.
The Impostor can try to guess the word once; then comes the secret vote; the app keeps score and lets you start the next round straight away with a new word.
Platform
Phones connect directly over Bluetooth — game data never reaches the internet.
You don't create an account or log in — you sit down and play.
Each phone picks up its own language, so at one table everyone plays in theirs.
Custom
Standard is the full game for everyone. Custom is an option for venues and events — it adds the venue's logo and welcome text and a few extras.
