Bluff or Bust

About the Game

Bluff or Bust is a high-stakes multiplayer game of deception, deduction, and sleight of hand inspired by the Persian folk game Gol Ya Pooch.

One team hides the goal ball through subtle hand movements and misdirection. The opposing team must study every gesture, replay suspicious actions, gather clues, and uncover the Goal.

In Bluff or Bust, your hands do the talking…
But can anyone trust what they're saying?

Every movement matters.

A unique confidence system transforms player behavior into gameplay. Nervous mistakes, shaky hand movements, and failed actions can leak clues to your opponents, while confident performances create uncertainty and deception. Use your Bluffs to pressure opponents, manipulate suspicion, and control the table.

Bluff or Bust is built around observation.

Study clues to determine whether a player is hiding the Goal… or trying to fool you.

Every round becomes a battle of deduction, intuition, and psychological pressure.

Meet a cast of students at a melting pot of cultures in a Canadian university, each with their own personality and special ability. Pick your favorite and use their unique skills to bluff smarter, read opponents, and outplay the other team.

Build your strategy around unique strengths as friendships, rivalries, and competitive tension evolve both on and off the table.

Blending folklore with a modern, stylized aesthetic, Bluff or Bust brings the viral Iranian sensation Gol Ya Pooch to a global stage.
