How to play Chameleon

  1. 1

    Check your card

    Everyone sees a topic with 25 words. All but one player also see the secret word — that player is the Chameleon.

  2. 2

    Give one-word clues

    Take turns giving a clue about the secret word. Too obvious and the Chameleon learns it; too vague and you look suspicious.

  3. 3

    Discuss and vote

    Talk it over, then vote for who you think the Chameleon is. A tie gets one re-vote.

  4. 4

    Catch them — or don't

    Catch the Chameleon and everyone else scores 2, unless the Chameleon then guesses the word (they score 1). Accuse the wrong person and the Chameleon scores 2.

Tips

  • As the Chameleon, listen to the clues before yours and stay vague.
  • Turn on a timer pace to keep clues snappy.
  • Playing in the same room? Talk it out during the discussion.
