Insider combines the classic guessing game of '20 Questions' with social deduction. Players race against a time limit to guess a secret word while trying to figure out which player is the sneaky insider who knows the answer and is manipulating the conversation from behind the scenes.

The Verdict
based on 10 reviews
“Insider is a simple, portable, quick, and fun game. It’s guaranteed to get a group talking, laughing and create trust issues all over the place! If you enjoy social deduction games or love party style games, Insider is a no brainer!”
“I can't say that Insider will be the kind of game that will last forever without some kind of expansion, but for now, it is the social deduction (and even just social) game I most want to play.”
“It's a really lovely game and it's really quick and it's just something you can, you know, pop out when you've got five, 10 minutes spare.”
“This game's amazing one of the best little social deduction Games come out in a long time that's Insider”(7:49)
The reviewers share a generally positive sentiment regarding the games featured in their recent gaming week playthroughs, highlighting enjoyable and engaging experiences.
“...is the ultimate game of subtlety that makes it such a great quick light filler game that you can take on holidays with a group of friends. It even fits right in your pocket. One that I definitely recommend.”(7:30)
“Overall, Insider is great. Really, I've played it like, 20 times in about a week's span and enjoyed pretty much every game with one specific exception that was unrelated to playing Insider.”
“This one is high, this one's an awesomeness rating of Nine. The only thing that doesn't make it a 10, and this is one of the best social deduction games, cuz that adding the 20 questions element to it.”(7:51)
Insider is a riot if you like bluffing, wild guesses, and suspicious glares across your table. It’s easy to teach and you can play with a big group, so it fits almost any game night.
“Is it my favorite social deduction game? No, I'd still rather play Werewolf, and I'll admit that the gameplay in Insider can be hit-or-miss. But for a 4-8 person crowd, this works well”
