Back Your Mate is a fast-paced social party game about confidence, bluffing, and how well you really know your friends.
Play in teams and bet on what your teammate can achieve in 30 seconds — anything from trivia and quick-thinking challenges to physical and chaotic party tasks.
No communication.
No hints.
Just your instincts.
How it works
Each round starts with a challenge:
“How many cocktails can your teammate name?”
Teams take turns bidding on their own teammate (without talking to them):
5… 7… 9…
When a team no longer believes it:
They call it and the other team must perform.
Now it’s time to prove it — live, in front of everyone.
If they succeed, their team scores.
If they fail, the other team gets the point.
