L’Incruste
Everyone has to slip the same thing into every answer: name an animal, mention their mum, blame someone at the table… One person doesn’t know what.

The goal
The Gatecrasher has to work out the rule by listening, and do the same without getting spotted. The group has to unmask them.
How to play
The phone goes round privately
Each player reads the secret rule alone. For example: “Name an animal”. One randomly chosen player never sees it: the Gatecrasher — and nobody knows who that is.
The conversation starts
The app shows a story to tell. Everyone answers in turn, phone down, slipping the rule into their answer. The Gatecrasher never goes first or second: they listen for what the answers have in common.
The vote
When the doubt sets in, you vote: 3, 2, 1, everyone points at the Gatecrasher at once. Tap the most-pointed player in the app.
The reveal
The app shows who was picked, then reveals whether they really were the Gatecrasher. Missed? The innocent is out and you go again on a new topic.
How you win
The group wins by unmasking the Gatecrasher. The Gatecrasher wins if only they and two players remain. And an unmasked Gatecrasher gets one last shot: state the exact rule and they steal the round anyway. An innocent voted out by mistake takes a YEK. So does the Gatecrasher once caught, unless they guess the rule. (A YEK: a forfeit you pick together.)
Tips
- Don’t make the rule too obvious: the Gatecrasher is listening.
- Gatecrasher: find what the first two answers share, then do the same.
- The funniest part: squeezing the rule in where it has no business being.
