Fiddle
Everyone gets a task, except for one! Can you tell?
A free, browser-based party game for groups playing together in person. Everyone but one player gets the same task to perform. The Imposter has nothing and has to fake it by watching everyone else. No app, no login: the host shares a link, everyone joins on their own phone, and the app handles dealing roles, running turns, and keeping score so the group can just play.
Hey everyone 👋 Made this because every social deduction game I like needed either a physical group already primed to play, or an app everyone had to download first. Fiddle is just a link, whoever's hosting shares it, everyone else joins from their own phone, no install, no account.
The core loop: everyone gets the same open-ended task ("recommend a movie," etc.) and performs it in front of the group, except one Imposter, who gets nothing and has to fake it by copying everyone who went before them. Then the group votes on who they think had no task.
Some rounds also secretly hand one other player a "lying tell" to sneak into their turn, a fidget, a hedge, an odd pause and after the vote, everyone free-texts a guess at what it was.
It's a spin on from one of the episodes from Game Changer. I wanted the same "who's faking it" tension but self-hosted, phone-in-hand, with the app doing the bookkeeping instead of a live host.
Built solo and still actively iterating based on what breaks at real game nights. I would love any and all feedback to improve the game!
Played this with a couple of my friends and it was super easy and fun. Instead of us having to come up with anything, it was pretty to just follow the prompt. Sometimes, it was pretty easy to spot the imposter and the secret task but other times not so much. Looking forward to more prompts! Good luck!
