Oddball

Find the Oddball before the Oddball finds the answer.

A local, pass-the-phone social deduction game where most players receive the same secret prompt and one player receives only a hint.

One device. One missing answer. Plenty of suspicion.

Choose a category, set up 3–20 players, and pass the device around for a private reveal. Normal players see the exact prompt. The randomly selected Oddball sees a hint and has to learn enough during the conversation to blend in.

After the reveal, the device gets out of the way. Players ask questions aloud, compare answers, and decide who does not know the secret.

  1. Set up

    Choose a category and select players from the locally saved roster.

  2. Reveal

    Pass the device privately so each person sees a prompt or hint.

  3. Deduce

    Ask, listen, bluff, and decide who the Oddball is.
