Nearly Same

A pass-the-phone party game

Everyone sees the same picture, except one player who has a nearly identical one, and nobody knows who, not even that player. A party game for 3 to 12 players on one phone, offline, with no ads.

How to play

Pass the phone

Pass the phone around. Each player holds to see their picture in secret.

An example round: everyone gets the elephant except Ben, who gets the rhino

One picture is nearly the same

Everyone has the same picture, except one player who has a nearly identical one. Nobody knows who, not even that player.

Talk it over: take turns saying one true word about your picture, with a 2:00 timer and a Vote button

One word each

Take turns saying one word about your picture, without naming it.

Caught! Leo had the different picture: the dog for everyone, the wolf for him, and the scores

Point

Then everyone points at the player they think has the different picture.

Sam wins after 3 rounds: podium and final ranking

For everyone

3 to 12 players on one phone, offline. It's all pictures, so anyone can play. A round takes 5 to 10 minutes.
