What this actually looks like

The room turns into a detective drama.

Eight friends sit around a table. Their phones are on the table. The host taps Deal Round. Seven of them see the word "saxophone." One of them sees "trombone." None of them know who got what.

The host asks each person for a clue, no naming the word. One person says "jazz." Another says "brass." The Mole, panicking but quick, says "smoky club." Everyone laughs. Suspicion shifts. Someone says "too vague." The Mole sweats.

After the round of clues, everyone votes from their phone. The host sees the live tally before revealing. Correct accusations score a point on the leaderboard. A Mole who slips past the vote scores instead. The next round deals a fresh Mole and a fresh suspicion list.

Where Find the mole shines

The same game. Different rooms. Same energy.

Scenario 01

Team bonding session

Team bonding

Trust building, except funnier.

An L&D lead runs Find the Mole as the closing activity on a team day. Three rounds. Different Mole each time. The debrief afterwards is not about the game, it is about how the team made decisions under uncertainty. Who got accused unfairly? Who was too quiet? Who came across as suspicious just because they take longer to answer questions? The lesson lands because the team felt it, not because anyone presented it.

Scenario 02

Dinner party game

Dinner party

The conversation game your dinner party did not know it needed.

Six people around a dinner table. After the main course, the host pulls out their phone, casts Neegma to the TV behind them, and deals a round. The dinner party stops being a dinner party and becomes an interrogation, in the best possible way. The wine flows, the accusations fly, and dessert is forgotten for 30 minutes.

Scenario 03

Community meetup

Community event

Strangers stop being strangers.

A community organiser runs a meetup for 14 people who have never met. She runs a single round of Find the Mole as the opener. Within four minutes, complete strangers are debating whether the quiet person at the back is the Mole, on the basis of how they smiled when giving their clue. Nobody is shy after that.

How Find the Mole plays

Group Vote, every round.

Find the Mole is built around a live group vote. After the discussion, everyone votes from their phone and the host sees the tally before the reveal.

Group Vote

The room decides who is hiding something.

After discussion, every player votes from their own device on who they think is bluffing. The host sees the live tally in real time. The reveal is dramatic, the conversation that follows is even better.

Best for: social deduction moments where the debate is the whole point, not just the answer.

Team Mode

A group shares one device, plays as one team.

Players are grouped into 2 to 6 colour-coded teams. Each team huddles around one device, debates the answer, and submits together. The energy in the room goes up immediately.

Best for: in-person offsites, weddings, family gatherings, anywhere you want people talking to each other instead of staring at their phones.

The Mole is already in your group chat. Find them.

Free to start with up to 10 players. Word library keeps every round fresh.
