Like The Chameleon
Same grid of topic words, same one-word clues, same vote. Played on your phones, with no cards to deal.
Like Spyfall
One player doesn’t know the secret and has to blend in. Here it’s a word grid and short clues instead of locations and questions.
Like Mr White
The impostor gets no word at all, just like Mr White in Undercover, and can still score by guessing it at the end.
The Chameleon online, answered
Is this the Chameleon board game?
It’s the same kind of game: a social deduction word game where one player bluffs without knowing the secret word. It is not the hide-and-seek game Meccha Chameleon.
How many players do you need?
3–8 players. Each player uses their own phone or computer, so it works in the same room or on a video call.
How long does a game take?
A game is 3 rounds by default, with a randomly picked impostor and a new theme each round. Most games take 10–20 minutes.
Is it free?
Yes. No account and no download: create a room, share the link and play in the browser.
Can you bluff your way through?
The Chameleon is a board game by Big Potato Games. Spyfall and Undercover belong to their makers. Chiby.io isn't affiliated with any of them.
