A game by baræ

J’annonce !

A bidding game with friends

Make your bid. Back it up.

“I can name five.” “I’ve got six!”
Great. Now prove it.

A topic appears. Say out loud how many answers you can name. The last person to raise the bid takes the challenge, with the phone and timer keeping track.

The idea

How does it work?

The phone provides the topic. The conversation raises the stakes.

01Read

One question for everyone

Read the topic out loud: fruit, movies, things to pack for a vacation… Anyone can make a bid.

02Bid

Make your bids out loud

On your turn, bid higher. If you do not want to raise, call the last bidder’s bluff. Then enter their final bid.

03Deliver

The timer keeps you honest

The challenged player must give the promised number of distinct answers before time runs out. Success eliminates the challenger; failure eliminates the bidder. The last remaining player wins.

Good questions

Before you
get started.

The rules and practical details for enjoying the game together.

How do you play J’annonce !?

The challenged player must give the promised number of distinct answers before time runs out. Success eliminates the challenger; failure eliminates the bidder. The last remaining player wins.

Do we need to register players or keep score?

No names or overall score are entered. The group tracks eliminations aloud: a successful challenge removes the accuser; a failure removes the bidder. Remaining players move to a new theme.

How long does a challenge last?

Set the timer to 20, 30 or 45 seconds. Bidding and discussion take additional time. There is no fixed number of rounds.

Does the phone recognize spoken answers?

No. Answers are spoken out loud and counted using the correct-answer button. The group decides whether the target was met. The game does not use the microphone.

Are the questions about the Bible?

J’annonce ! uses general-interest themes. For Bible bidding, choose J’annonce la Parole; for team guessing games, choose REMEZ !.

Is the game free and browser-based?

Yes. J’annonce ! is free to play in your browser, with no app-store installation. Open it with an internet connection and gather everyone in the same room.

Shall we get together?

Who gets
the last word?

One phone. Your group.
What happens next is up to you.
