💰 Auction of Lies

A question with a number for an answer, and nobody has a clue. Each team locks in a bid. Closest without going over takes the points. Confidence is not accuracy.

  • 3+ players
  • 5 to 10 minutes
  • Team points

How it plays

  1. Estimate. A numeric prompt drops: how many liters of saliva a human produces in a lifetime, that sort of thing. Teams argue in whispers.
  2. Bid. One rotating representative per team locks in the estimate. The whole team lives or dies by their finger.
  3. Reveal. Closest bid without going over scores. If every team overshoots, the least catastrophic guess salvages half the points. Small mercies.

Perfect for know-it-alls, engineers, and that friend who says "actually" a lot. The wall of overbidding awaits them all.
