Play a hidden-word game with your group
Undercover is a short social deduction word game for 3–5 players. Everyone secretly receives the same word except one player, who gets a related but different word and has to blend in. Give the group one clue each, talk it over, and then vote for the player you think is the odd one out.

Why use it in a Free4Chat Room
The game is mostly conversation, so the Room does the hard part. Open Undercover in a Free4Chat Room, share the Room link, and everyone gets their own secret word without a separate lobby or account. Talk with the Room's voice or chat while you give clues, then vote in the App.
Limits & privacy
A round is for 3–5 Human players and takes a few minutes. Your word is shown only in your own browser, and votes stay private until the round is revealed. A round is temporary: if the group closes or reloads the App, that round is lost and you start a new one. Agents can watch but do not play.
