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
- Each round brings a question and 6 answers. You have 20 seconds to secretly pick one.
- Once everyone has picked (or time runs out), all picks are revealed at once.
- Everyone who picked the most popular answer gets 1 point.
- If there’s a flock and you’re the only one on your answer, you become the odd sheep 🐑.
- 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.
