Privacy

About this board game

Privacy is an adult party game for 5–12 players that takes about 45 minutes to play. Players answer provocative and outrageous questions anonymously, then use deduction to predict how many total “Yes” votes were submitted.

The questions may reveal surprising truths about the group, from personal experiences to unexpected habits. However, not every answer has to be publicly identified: players deliver their votes secretly, so what remains secret stays secret.

Each round challenges players to balance honesty, discretion, and their knowledge of the people around them. After the anonymous votes are submitted, everyone predicts the total number of “Yes” answers. Points go to the players who guess correctly.

• Anonymous voting: Answer provocative questions with a secret “Yes” or “No.”
• Prediction: Estimate how many “Yes” answers the group submitted.
• Deduction: Use what you know about your friends to make the best guess.
• Privacy: Tell the truth or plead the fifth while keeping individual answers confidential.

Designed for adults who are ready to ask the questions they might otherwise avoid, Privacy turns hidden opinions and experiences into a lively group guessing challenge. The fun comes from discovering the overall result without necessarily learning who answered what.

Released in 2004, Privacy combines secret information, provocative prompts, and simple prediction into a social game built around conversation and deduction. Whether players answer truthfully or keep their secrets, every round invites them to reconsider how well they understand the group.
