Play Odd Sheep Out

Everyone picks in secret: match the flock to score, stand alone and you’re the odd sheep!

Played online by 3 to 8 people; you can also play solo against the computer.

  • Online: create a room and send the link to a friend, or get matched with a random opponent. If nobody shows up, we offer a clearly labeled computer opponent.

How to play

Goal: Guess the answer most players will pick. After 10 questions the highest score wins, but the odd sheep can’t win.

Step by step

  1. Each round brings a question and 6 answers. You have 20 seconds to secretly pick one.
  2. Once everyone has picked (or time runs out), all picks are revealed at once.
  3. Everyone who picked the most popular answer gets 1 point.
  4. If there’s a flock and you’re the only one on your answer, you become the odd sheep 🐑.
  5. After 10 questions, the player with the most points who isn’t the odd sheep wins.

Rules

  • On a tie, every top answer scores (e.g. with a 2-2-1 split, 4 players score).
  • If everyone picks something different there’s no flock: nobody scores.
  • The 🐑 stays with one player. It stays with you until someone else stands alone; rejoining the flock isn’t enough.
  • If more than one player stands alone in the same round, the 🐑 doesn’t move.
  • If you hold the 🐑 at the end, you can’t win even with the top score.
  • No pick means no points that round, and you can’t become the odd sheep either. Picks are final.
  • In solo play your opponents are computer players (BOT). Easy bots stray from the flock a lot; hard bots read the majority well.

Controls

  • Touch: Tap an answer. After the reveal, tap "Next question" or wait a few seconds.

In online matches

  • 3-8 players. Create a room and drop the link in your group; the host starts when everyone’s in.
  • Questions come in the room’s language: rooms created on the English site get English questions.
  • You can see who has picked, but nobody sees what until the reveal.
  • After the reveal, if everyone taps "Next question" it moves on right away; otherwise it moves on after 10 seconds.
  • If someone disconnects, a BOT plays for them until they’re back. Bots added to the room are always labeled BOT.

Tips

  • Don’t pick your favourite, pick what pops into everyone’s head first.
  • Holding the 🐑? Take a risk: think about which answer could leave someone else alone.
