What is Bid & Bluff?

A challenge appears ("name European capitals") and players bid on how many they can list. The highest bidder has to actually produce them, live, against the clock.

The strategy is the whole game: bid low and someone outbids you, bid high and you have to back it up. It is the pick for competitive teams who find pure trivia too passive.

Bid & Bluff questions

Do players need an account or a download?

No. Only the host needs a Fun Friday account. Everyone else joins from any browser with a 6-character room code and a display name — no app, no install, no IT ticket.

How are near-miss answers handled?

Answers are normalised before checking, so casing, spacing and common variants are accepted. You will not lose a bid on a missing accent.
