How to Play

About KnowYaKind

KnowYaKind is a multiplayer party game where players compete to match answers with the group while revealing their unique personalities and humor. It's designed for 2-8 players and works great for parties, family gatherings, or remote game nights.

How It Works

Setup

Players join the game on their phones by visiting the game URL, entering their name, and selecting an avatar. They wait in a lobby that shows all connected players in real-time. An admin (game host) controls when the game starts through a separate admin panel. Optionally, a TV display can show the game action on a big screen.

Gameplay

Each round presents players with a fill-in-the-blank prompt like "A ______ in the kitchen" or "Draws for the ______". Players have a limited time (configurable, default 30 seconds) to submit their answer privately on their phones.

The Goal

The twist is in the scoring - you want to match with other players, but not TOO many. You're trying to show you know your kind (the group) while still being creative. Players earn points based on how many others submitted the same or similar answer, rewarding both group thinking and uniqueness.

Between Rounds

After everyone submits (or time runs out), results are revealed showing all answers and which players matched. The game continues for 5 rounds (configurable 1-10), with running scores displayed throughout.

Winning

After the final round, complete results and a leaderboard determine the winner - the player who best balanced matching the group's wavelength while showing their personality.
