How to Play sussed?

Introduction

Sussed? is a social party card game where players try to guess each other’s personalities, opinions, and habits based on questions and multiple-choice answers. It’s all about reading people, bluffing a little, and figuring out what your friends really think.

The game includes several different modes, so you can switch things up depending on how competitive or chaotic you want it to be. Most versions rotate between a reader (the person answering questions) and sussers (everyone guessing).

Here are the four main game modes:

1. Guess My Answer
2. Guess the Top Answer
3. Guess Whose Card It Is
4. Guess Who I Am

Let’s break down the main game modes in a simple way.

Guess My Answer

Setup

Each player gets:

• 1 Sussed question card
• 1 A, 1 B, and 1 C answer card

Then:

• Choose a first reader
• Everyone else becomes sussers
• Decide if you want to keep score

If scoring:

• Points are tracked using the backs of the Sussed cards

How to Play

Each round is pretty simple:

Step 1: Read the Question

The reader looks at their card and reads the question + 3 answer options.

Example:

• “Would you rather be a voice actor, fortune cookie writer, or teddy bear designer?”

Step 2: Reader Chooses an Answer

The reader secretly picks their answer:

• They choose A, B, or C
• Place the chosen card face down

This is their “true” answer.

Step 3: Everyone Else Guesses

All sussers:

• Choose what they think the reader picked
• Place their A/B/C card face down

Step 4: Reveal and Score

• Everyone flips cards at the same time
• The reader reveals their choice
• Players explain their reasoning

Scoring:

• Each susser who guessed correctly gets 1 point

Then roles rotate and the next player becomes the reader.

Winning the Game

• Each player becomes reader three times
• After all rounds, highest score wins

Guess the Top Answer

Setup

Same basic setup:

• Each player gets a Sussed card
• Each player gets A, B, C cards
• Pick a starting reader

How to Play

Step 1: Reader Reads Question

The reader reads the question out loud.

Step 2: Sussers Pick What THEY Think Others Will Choose

Instead of guessing the reader’s answer, sussers:

• Pick the answer they think MOST players will choose
• Place card face down

Step 3: Reader Guesses the Group Answer

The reader now guesses:

• Which answer most players chose

They place their own A/B/C card face down.

If they think it’s split evenly, they can play multiple cards.

Step 4: Reveal

• Sussers reveal their choices
• Reader reveals their guess

Scoring:

• If the reader guesses the most popular answer correctly → 1 point

Winning the Game

• Each player is reader 3 times
• Highest score wins

Guess Whose Card It Is

Setup

Each player gets:

• Sussed card
• A/B/C cards

Choose a reader to start.

How to Play

Step 1: Everyone Answers Silently

• Reader reads the question
• Players choose their real answer secretly
• Cards are placed face down

Step 2: Shuffle Answers

• All submitted cards are mixed up
• Reader doesn’t know who gave what

Step 3: Debate Phase

• Reader flips one card at random
• Everyone argues why it might be theirs
• You only have about 15 seconds per round

This is where things get funny and chaotic.

Step 4: Reader Makes a Guess

• Reader assigns the card to a player
• That player reveals if it was theirs

Scoring

• Reader scores 1 point if they guessed correctly
• The chosen player also scores 1 point (even if they lied or not)

Winning the Game

• Each player is reader 3 times
• Highest score wins

Guess Who I Am

Setup

Each player gets:

• Sussed card
• A/B/C cards
• Start with 6 shared group points

Important:

• Everyone plays as a team
• The group must avoid hitting 0 points

How to Play

Step 1: Secret Role Choice

The reader:

• Chooses another player to “become”
• Answers questions as if they are that player
• Keeps it secret

Step 2: Ask and Reveal

• Reader shows the chosen answer card
• Reads the question and answers aloud

Step 3: Group Guesses the Imposter

• Everyone discusses who the reader is pretending to be
• Must agree on one player

They can ask follow-up questions, but:

• Each extra question costs 1 group point

Step 4: Reveal

• Reader reveals the truth

Outcomes:

• If the group guesses correctly → game continues
• If wrong → everyone loses immediately

Winning the Game

The group wins if:

• All players take turns as reader
• The group still has points left

The group loses if:

• They guess wrong at any point
• Or run out of points

Tips to Play Better

• Pay attention to personality patterns, not just answers
• Bluffing is part of the fun—don’t take answers too seriously
• In group modes, listen more than you talk
• Don’t overthink every choice—gut instinct helps
• Try different roles to see how people perceive you

Conclusion

Sussed? is a flexible party game that’s really about people more than cards. Every mode turns simple multiple-choice questions into social guessing, bluffing, and sometimes hilarious misunderstandings.

If you like this style of game, you might also enjoy We’re Not Really Strangers, which also focuses on personality insight and social guessing—but in a more reflective, conversation-based way.

Sussed? proves that guessing what people think is harder (and funnier) than it looks.
