About this game
The gun in this game is a toy. Pull the trigger and a "BANG!" flag pops out of the muzzle, like a prop from a cartoon. Nobody is aimed at or hurt at any point. The fun comes from the growing tension as the chambers run out.
How to play
- Enter 2 to 12 players.
- The person named on screen presses Pull the trigger.
- A click means safe, so pass the device along.
- If the flag pops out, that person is it.
The six circles below the gun show which chambers have been used, in each player's color.
A note before you play
Expect a loud sound, vibration, screen shake and flashes at the moment someone is caught. If you are sensitive to light or noise, mute the sound or pick another game. With children, Draw Straws or Spin the Wheel are good alternatives.
Is it fair?
The flag's chamber is chosen at random at the start and never changes. With a fixed six chambers, some players may get an extra pull depending on group size, so the order is shuffled to even that out. Does turn order matter? shows the math.
Frequently asked questions
Is this game about real guns?
No. It is a turn-taking game using a make-believe toy that pops out a flag. It offers no information or products related to real weapons.
What if it reaches the sixth pull?
The flag is always in one of the chambers, so it appears by the sixth pull at the latest.
With seven or more players, might someone not get a turn?
Yes, and they are safe for that round. Because the order is random, nobody knows in advance who that will be.
