Undercover

Fast paced social deduction game for parties and online play

Undercover turns any gathering into a tense and hilarious guessing match, blending classic social deduction mechanics with clever wordplay. It’s designed to keep everyone actively involved, whether you’re sitting around a table or scattered across different locations.

Each round, players secretly receive a word: most are Civilians sharing the same word, one or more are Undercover with a similar but slightly altered word, and Mr. White gets no word at all. The fun begins when players take turns giving short clues out loud. Civilians try to sound convincing without being too obvious, while the Undercover and Mr. White scramble to blend in and avoid suspicion. After each round of hints, you vote to eliminate someone, inching closer to unmasking the impostors.

Undercover shines as an icebreaker. The offline “pass the phone” mode is perfect for parties, classrooms, or team-building sessions, as the single-device setup keeps everyone focused on the same screen. The online mode adds flexibility, letting you join friends or jump into games with strangers when you’re not in the same room. A curated word database keeps rounds varied and accessible, with terms broad enough to work across ages and backgrounds.

The real-time ranking at the end of each game is a nice touch, rewarding the best bluffers and most observant detectives, and encouraging playful competition. On the downside, quieter or shy players may need a round or two to warm up, and the experience heavily depends on everyone participating actively and honestly.

If you enjoy games like Werewolf, Mafia, or Spyfall and want something easy to explain yet endlessly replayable, Undercover is a lively choice for group fun both in person and online.
