Glitch

Not everyone in the room is human.

A party game for a group of friends you don't want anymore. Everyone is secretly Human or Robot, and anyone can lie.

Free to join. 3 to 12 players, each on their own iPhone or iPad. Hosting needs Glitch Pro.

Each time you turn it face up, you get a new role and hand, dealt like a five-player game in the app.

Three kinds of card. One of them ends the game.

The app deals the cards, and the game happens out loud.

Null

Harmless. Nothing happens.

Glitch

One for each player, shuffled into the deck, so you might hold none, or several. Once every Glitch is drawn, Humans win.

The Algorithm

Just one, and anyone can be dealt it, Human or Robot. Whoever draws it, Robots win. Game over.

Draw from someone. Then it's their turn.

  1. Everyone is secretly Human or Robot. You only know your own role. Even Robots don't know who else is a Robot.

  2. You start with 5 cards only you can see. Tap the card with your name at the bottom of the game screen to see your role and hand.

  3. Say what's in your hand, or don't. Anyone can lie.

  4. On your turn, pick another player. One random card from their hand is shown to everyone and leaves the game. That player goes next.

  5. Humans win once every Glitch is drawn, by anyone. Robots win if anyone draws The Algorithm, or if any Glitch is left after round 4.

A round has as many draws as there are players, but some players might not get a turn. Then everyone's remaining cards are shuffled and dealt out again. Hands are 5 cards each in round 1, then 4, 3 and 2. The last player drawn from starts the next round. There are 4 rounds.

Try a round

    Four rounds. Three ways it ends.

    • Anyone draws The AlgorithmRobots win// The machines run things now.
    • The last Glitch is drawn, even on the last draw of round 4Humans win// The uprising is cancelled.
    • A Glitch is left after round 4Robots win// Time's up.
