Who's The Rat? Family Bluffing Game

PRE-ORDER NOTE: Who’s The Rat? is currently in production, which means you’ll be one of the very first people to own it! We’ll keep you updated and be in touch as soon as the first run is finished and ready to ship.

Hide your identity. Catch the bluffer. Don’t get ratted out.

Who’s The Rat? is a fast, funny, family bluffing game where everyone knows the animal… except the Rat.

Each round, players secretly become the same animal - maybe a tiger, panda, dolphin or giraffe. But one player is the Rat, and they have no idea what animal everyone else is hiding.

Every round, players take turns drawing a question card and directing it at anyone they choose. Take turns asking clever questions, giving crafty answers, and trying to work out who’s bluffing.

Can this animal be found in water? Does it have sharp teeth? Everyone must answer honestly - but as craftily as they like. The Tiger can technically confirm it could be kept as a pet. The Dolphin can admit it swims. The Rat has to bluff their way through all of it without giving themselves away.

The animal players need to catch the Rat before the Rat figures out what animal they are. Someone is going down.

Simple to learn, quick to play, and different every time.

How it works

Pick a sleeve, deal the cards, and keep your identity secret.

On your turn, draw a question card and ask any player. They must answer honestly - but they can be as crafty as they like.

For example:

Question: Can this animal be kept as a pet?
Tiger’s answer: Technically yes… but I wouldn't recommend it.

Listen carefully. Watch for hesitation. Spot the bluffer.

When you’re ready, make your accusation. But be careful - if you guess wrong, the Rat wins.
