What to Expect
Players receive hidden identities (human or alien) and answer three multiple-choice questions trying to appear human. Aliens face restrictions in how they can respond, creating bluffing and discussion. The group negotiates and votes to decide who boards rockets; outcomes can vary and sometimes no one wins. Rounds are quick and highly social.
Who Is This Game For?
This is a party/social deduction title for groups that enjoy bluffing and negotiation. With a playtime of about 15 minutes and support for 3–8 players, it's suitable for casual gatherings and families from age 8 upward. No heavy hobby-game experience is required.
How It Works
Players are assigned hidden roles (Hidden Roles, Traitor Game). Over the course of three multiple-choice questions, everyone answers while aliens are limited in their options. Negotiation phases let players discuss responses and accuse others, and Voting determines who boards which rocket. The mechanics emphasize social interaction rather than complex rules.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Kasper Lapp, Totally Human blends Hidden Roles with multiple-choice answering to create fast, discussion-driven rounds. Its sci-fi theme (Aliens/Extraterrestrials) is central, and the short duration makes it accessible for parties and larger groups.
Pro

Setting & atmosphere
The game is set during an alien invasion: humans attempt to escape Earth on rockets while disguised aliens try to sneak aboard. The Science Fiction and Aliens categories define the theme.
