Le Mot Fantôme
One player has to make you say a specific word. Without ever saying it themselves.

The goal
The provoker wants the word out of someone else’s mouth. The group wants to smell the trap first.
How to play
A secret provoker
One player privately gets the ghost word on the phone. Nobody knows it’s them.
One question each
The app picks who asks the first question, never the provoker. Then whoever answers asks the next question to someone else. Stuck? The table counts 3, 2, 1.
They hide among you
Everyone asks questions, so theirs slip by unnoticed. They steer toward their word when they ask and when they answer. Anything goes, except the word.
Who takes a YEK?
The word slips out: GHOST, whoever said it takes a YEK. Someone unmasks them first: YEK IT!, the provoker takes a YEK. Wrong accusation: the accuser takes it.
How you win
The provoker wins the moment someone else says the word. The group wins by calling them out first. Either way, whoever loses the round takes a YEK: a forfeit the table picks.
Tips
- Provoker: forgot your word? “See my role again” is open to everyone, so nobody will suspect you.
- Group: watch for oddly specific questions that keep circling back to the same place.
- A random YEK IT! costs you a YEK, so wait until you have a real reason.
