Start for freeWhat to Expect
In Privacy, players anonymously answer provocative yes/no questions and try to guess how many others said yes. The game reveals surprising truths about the group while keeping individual answers secret. Voting mechanics create a dynamic atmosphere of deduction and social interaction.
Who Is This Game For?
Privacy is aimed at adult players who enjoy social and provocative party games. As a medium-weight game lasting about 45 minutes, it requires no special prior experience but does need openness and a larger group of at least five players. It is less suitable for families or small groups.
How It Works
The core mechanic is voting: players secretly vote yes or no on provocative questions. Then everyone predicts how many votes were yes. Points are awarded for correct guesses. This blends bluffing and social deduction without revealing individual answers.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Reinhard Staupe, Privacy was a 2009 Lys Grand Public finalist. It stands out in the party game genre by using voting to gather anonymous, provocative answers, fostering intimate group dynamics.
