Bad Influence

Bad Influence is game night without the setup. Everyone hits Play, you vote on a game, and within seconds someone is being accused of lying. Rounds are short. The beefs are not.

The games

Undercover: Everyone gets the same secret word. Well, almost everyone. One player gets a different word and has no idea. Drop a one-word clue, defend yourself, and vote out the suspect. Catch the undercover and you win, unless they guess the real word on their way out.

Know It All: Two teams, one answer each, decided by majority vote. You can see your teammates' picks as they make them. On every question, you can also steal the other team's answer if you think they've got it right. They might be bluffing. It's educational, technically.

Short Fuse: Answer right and the bomb moves on, with a few extra seconds on the clock. Answer wrong and it stays with you, ticking faster. Risk questions are worth more and hurt more. Keep it moving long enough and you defuse it together. Hesitate, and it goes off on your turn.

Hot Seat: One player secretly picks their answer to a prompt. Everyone else guesses what they picked. Every right guess scores for you and for them, so you'll find out exactly how well your friends know you. Everyone takes the hot seat.

Split Decision: Answer fast to grow a shared prize pot, then vote someone out after every round. The last two face one final choice: split the pot, or steal it all. If both steal, nobody gets anything.

Something to show for it

Every game earns you XP and coins, and there's a daily reward for showing up. Climb to level 100 and track every unlock along the way in Milestones. Spend your coins in a shop that restocks, then try everything on in your Locker: themes, frames, titles, name colors, cursors, bomb skins, Hot Seat chairs, finale cards, and exit effects for when you get voted out in style.

All of it is purely cosmetic. You can't buy your way to a win, only look good while losing.

Made for groups

• 2 to 16 players, and spectators can watch the drama.
• Whoever creates the party is the host, and can hand the crown to someone else.
• Run It Back replays the same game in one tap.
• Someone gone quiet? The game marks them as away and carries on without them.
• The server keeps score, so nobody can fudge their way to first place.
• Larger text and a color-blind mode are in Settings.

Grab your friends. Pick a game. Ruin a friendship or two.
