The Chameleon

▲ ▼

description The Chameleon Overview

The Chameleon is a social-deduction party game in which most players know a secret word while one player, designated the Chameleon, does not. Each participant gives a short clue connected to the word, requiring informed players to demonstrate knowledge without making the answer obvious. The group then discusses and votes on the suspected outsider, while the Chameleon attempts to blend in and may receive a chance to identify the secret word if discovered.

help The Chameleon FAQ

How is The Chameleon played?

Most players receive information that reveals a secret topic or word, while one player receives the Chameleon card and must bluff. Everyone gives a one-word clue, then the group discusses and votes on who seems not to know the answer. [Big Potato Games](https://bigpotato.com/products/the-chameleon)

What happens if the Chameleon is caught?

The exposed Chameleon gets one final chance to guess the secret word. If that guess is correct, the Chameleon can still win the round even after being identified. [Big Potato Games](https://bigpotato.com/products/the-chameleon)

Who designed and published The Chameleon?

Rikki Tahta designed The Chameleon, and Big Potato Games published it in 2017. The game belongs to the social-deduction party-game family, but its one-word clue rule keeps the play time short. [The Chameleon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chameleon_%28party_game%29)

How many people can play The Chameleon?

The official player range is 3 to 8 people. In a three-player game, the caught Chameleon receives a special two-guess rule to keep the small group balanced. [Big Potato Games](https://bigpotato.com/products/the-chameleon)
