Bendato! - Guess the Word

About this game

Bendato! is an offline party word game of bluffing, clues, and social deduction for friends and family, played together on one phone.

In every round, one player becomes the Blindfolded and must guess the main word before time runs out. Everyone else receives a secret role and a different objective: some players will help, others will try to mislead, while the Jester attempts to lure the Blindfolded into choosing a decoy word.

HOW TO PLAY

1. Add at least 4 players and choose your word categories.
2. Pass the phone around to reveal each secret role.
3. Listen to the clues and try to guess the word.
4. Record correct answers, mistakes, decoys, and passes.
5. Identify the other players’ roles to earn bonus points.

FOUR ROLES, FOUR OBJECTIVES

• Blindfolded – listen carefully and guess as many words as possible.
• Guide – help the Blindfolded reach the correct answer.
• Bandit – give believable clues that lead the Blindfolded in the wrong direction.
• Jester – play a decoy word and score points if the Blindfolded chooses it.

Every turn tests your intuition, memory, and bluffing skills. Who can you trust? Which clue is genuine? One answer can change the leaderboard, but uncovering the secret roles can turn the entire game around.

A GROUP GAME FOR EVERY OCCASION

Bendato! is perfect for game nights, house parties, road trips, holidays, and family gatherings. No board, cards, or extra devices are required: simply pass one phone around and play together.
