Play a Fakin' It style game online, free
Everyone's phone shows the same secret instruction: raise a hand, point at the best dancer, hold up the number of pets you have had. One player's phone shows nothing. They have to wing it, half a second behind everyone else, and hope nobody notices.
How to play
- The instruction is dealt in private. Hold to peek at it on your own phone so nobody reads over your shoulder. The Faker's screen gives them nothing at all.
- Everyone performs it together. In the room or on camera, all at once. The Faker is the one watching everyone else to copy them, a beat late.
- Discuss, then vote. The host opens the vote. Catch the Faker and everyone else scores. If the Faker survives all three prompts of a reign, they score big and the crown passes on.
Why this version
The Jackbox game this is styled on needs a paid pack and a shared screen. Wing It puts the secret on every phone for free, and on a video call it is arguably funnier than in person: the Faker's eyes darting across the gallery view gives them away every time.
There are 72 instructions in the deck, across hands, numbers, and pointing, dealt without repeats inside a game.
Questions
Is Wing It free?
Yes. Wing It is completely free, with no account, no download, and no ads. It is Joypod's own game in the style of Jackbox's Fakin' It, which is part of a paid pack.
How many players can play?
Wing It plays with 4 to 10 players. With only 3, catching the Faker needs a unanimous vote, which breaks the bluffing, so 4 is the floor.
Do we need cameras to play remotely?
For remote games, yes, cameras on, since the whole game is watching everyone perform the gesture at once. In the same room you just need to be able to see each other.
What does the Faker see?
Nothing useful. Their phone tells them they are the Faker and that they should blend in. Everyone else's phone carries the actual instruction.
Is Wing It affiliated with Jackbox?
No. Wing It is Joypod's own game in the style of Fakin' It. Joypod is not affiliated with Jackbox Games.
