The Chameleon – Award-Winning Social Deduction Party Board Game

🦎 The Chameleon – Blend In, Don’t Get Caught!

Can you stay cool under pressure when you’re the only one who doesn't know what’s going on? Available now at Hobby Collectors Australia, The Chameleon is the ultimate social deduction party game where one player is an imposter trying to blend in, and everyone else is trying to smoke them out.

Created by Rikki Tahta (the designer of Coup), this triple-award-winning game is a masterclass in bluffing and linguistic sleuthing. It’s the perfect icebreaker for game nights, family gatherings, or late-night parties.

How to Play: One Word Can Give You Away

Every round, a secret word is selected from a Topic Card using a clever dice-and-coordinate system. Everyone knows the word—except for the Chameleon.

The Clue: Each player must say exactly one word related to the secret topic.

The Goal (The Hunter): Give a clue that proves you know the secret word without making it so obvious that the Chameleon can guess it.

The Goal (The Chameleon): Listen carefully to the other players, fake a word that sounds plausible, and try to deduce the secret word before you're caught!

The Vote: After everyone has spoken, the group debates and votes. If the Chameleon is caught, they have one final chance to guess the secret word to escape!

Why You’ll Love The Chameleon:

• Fast-Paced Fun: Each round takes only about 5–15 minutes, making it a perfect "filler" game or a high-energy main event.
• Highly Accessible: Since you only have to say one word, it’s easy for gamers and non-gamers alike to jump in and start bluffing.
• Infinite Replayability: With 40 double-sided Topic Cards (each with 16 words) and a customizable dry-erase board for your own topics, no two games are ever the same.
• Award-Winning Design: Winner of the UK Games Expo Best Party Game and a Golden Geek nominee.
• Player Count: Ideal for 3 to 8 players, but the tension truly peaks with larger groups!
