Gather some friends and put on your headphones: Secret Shuffle is a social deduction party game that combines a dance party with 10 hilarious games and over 20 curated music packs. Through various games, players are challenged to spot others dancing to the same music, uncover who doesn't hear any music but dances anyway, freeze when the music stops, dance to the sounds of kitchen appliances, and much more.
HOW IT WORKS
To get started, you'll need between 4 and 60 players, each with their own phone, headphones, and the free Secret Shuffle app from the App Store or Google Play. Set up the game on a big screen, and have everyone join the party using the provided party code. One player –
the MC– selects one of the 10 games and a music pack. Once everyone is ready, the round kicks off with a brief explanation of the game followed by the start of the music! What happens next depends on the chosen game. Secret Shuffle includes 10 games, with
Fakers,
Split, and
Statues (all three explained below!) often being crowd favorites.
FAKERS
Everyone dances to the same music, except for one player; the faker. The faker doesn't hear any music but instead
acts like they hear the music, trying to remain undetected. At the end of the round, everyone points at who they think the faker is... and then the faker is revealed!
SPLIT
Half of the players dance to the same music. Find each other, dance standing together, and find out at the end of the round if you were indeed listening to matching music.
STATUES
Freeze when the music stops! The slower you freeze and the more you move while frozen, the more you will 'crack'. The goal is not to get cracked.
10 GAMES
Besides Fakers, Split, and Statues, the game includes Pairs, Leader, Groups, Possessed, Fakers++, Tree Huggers, and Speaker.
20+ MUSIC PACKS
Secret Shuffle's tailor-made 'music packs' are an impressive collection spanning through diverse genres, iconic eras, various regions around the world, immersive sound effects, and special seasonal surprises. Despite the limitations imposed by streaming services, our meticulously crafted music packs are guaranteed to keep everyone grooving.
WITH OR WITHOUT BIG SCREEN
The Steam version of Secret Shuffle unlocks all games and music packs for unlimited fun at every party you create or join. The Steam version has the added benefit of highlighting what's happening in the game to both players and spectators. If you prefer to own the game and unlock all games and music packs without having to fire up and connect the Steam version of Secret Shuffle to your party, you can also unlock everything though an in-app purchase on your phone. If you make no purchases and have all players simply rock the free app from the App Store or Google Play, the free version will only let you play three games (Split, Pairs, and Groups) and one music pack (Mixtape: My First).
