Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

Everyone gets the same secret Bible story, person or place on their phone, except the wolf, who only gets the category. Go around giving one-word clues, then vote. Catch the wolf before they figure out the secret.

How it works

One screen everyone can see. That's the only setup.

Open the game on the screen

Go to play.versle.app/tv on whatever is plugged into the TV or projector.

Run it from your phone

Scan the leader code on the screen and your phone becomes the remote. Or just click on the laptop.

Everyone joins

Players scan the QR code, or go to play.versle.app and type the room code. No app, no account.

Getting it on the TV

The game is a web page, so anything that shows a web page on the big screen works.

Laptop with HDMI

Plug in, open play.versle.app/tv and press F for full screen. You can run everything from the laptop, or pair your phone and walk around the room.

Chromecast or Google TV

In Chrome on a computer, open the TV page and click Cast to TV. The game moves to the TV and your computer becomes the remote.

You can also use Chrome's own Cast button and pick "Cast tab".

Smart TV or Fire TV browser

Open play.versle.app/tv in the TV's web browser, then scan the leader code with your phone so you never have to touch the TV remote again.

AirPlay

On a Mac, use the TV as a display and drag the TV page onto it. From an iPhone or iPad, Screen Mirroring shows your whole screen, so open the TV page there and tap its buttons.

Questions

Do players need the Versle app or an account?

No. Players join in their phone's browser with a name. That's it.

Does it cost anything?

No. Group Play is free.

Our group puts phones away. Can we still play?

Yes. Sword Drill only needs paper Bibles, Classic Live has a one-board mode where the room shouts guesses and the leader types them in, and Wolf in Sheep's Clothing can be played by passing the leader's phone around at play.versle.app/wolf.

What if someone picks a silly name?

Names are checked before they show up on the screen, and the leader can remove anyone from the lobby with one tap.

Will this spoil today's Versle?

No. The games use verses from days that have already been played. Classic Live only uses today's verse if you choose it.

Which Bible versions?

WEB, KJV, ESV, NKJV, NASB and NIV. The leader picks one before each game.

How many people can play?

Up to about 40 phones in a room. Sword Drill takes as many people as you can fit on a team.
