Dokojong

About this board game

Dokojong is a 20-minute guessing game for 2–5 players, in which everyone tries to determine where the other players’ dogs are hidden among five tiles.

Each player wants to keep their dog’s location secret while observing the others. The goal is to make it difficult for opponents to guess correctly, without behaving so noticeably that your own hiding place is exposed.

That creates a delicate balance between staying inconspicuous and reacting naturally. If you do too much to avoid a guess, your behavior may draw attention to the very tile you want to protect.

In Dokojong, every guess carries the possibility of uncovering another player’s dog, while every attempt to defend your secret can reveal more than intended. The game focuses on reading other players and managing how much your actions communicate.

Also known as ドコジャン, Dokojong is built around a clear, memorable premise: find the hidden dogs while keeping your own location concealed. Its compact five-tile setup keeps the focus on the players’ guesses and reactions.

Whether you are trying to identify an opponent’s dog or carefully avoid exposing your own, each moment puts secrecy and observation into tension. With its 20-minute play time and support for 2–5 players, Dokojong offers a focused hidden-location challenge for a small group.
