Players in the group chat take turns to decide which is the funniest answer in response to the bot’s question, rendering a score point to the player whose answer gets chosen.
Here’s a sneaky advice for you: Get a head start by understanding your friends really well so you know what tickles their funny bone!

Each incorrect guess results in deduction of a heart from your existing inventory, and the game is over when you expend all the hearts.

4. Werewolfbot
Friend or foe? This is an online Telegram game that brings out your inner Sherlock Holmes and hones your logical reasoning. If you’ve involved yourself in the rave over popular online game Among Us, you’ll be pleased to know that there is a fun variation to sharpen up your harmless deception skills.
The game, Werewolf, pits Villagers and the Werewolves against each other. Players on each team have to strategically defend their position to prove “innocence”, whilst killing or voting out the antagonists of their party. This game is fully moderated by the bot, so everyone gets to join in the fun!
Don’t forget to try out Werewolfbot’s Chaos mode, where more playable characters such as serial killers, guardian angels, and detectives are included to further challenge your deductive skills.
If you’d much prefer the physical copy of Werewolf, you can buy the familiar red-box version here, or a condensed variation that lasts only one night, called the One Night Ultimate Werewolf.

5. Unobot
Now available on Telegram, Unobot simulates the much loved UNO experience straight from our devices. For those who are new to this game, Unobot deals playing cards to individual players when playable cards are shown in your inventory.
To win the game, you will need to clear the cards in your hand by matching either the symbol, number or colour of the previously played card. Whether you’ll end up with a good hand partly depends on your luck, planning and foresight. A little tip from us: Be wise when using your +2 and +4 cards as those could be crucial in determining the winner!
There’s also an additional perk to playing UNO on Telegram—You don’t have to yell ‘UNO!’ when you’re holding your last card so that saves the scatterbrains from suffering a penalty.
If you’re the kind who would prefer seeing real-time reaction after you skillfully sabotage your mates, you can buy a physical copy in most gift or game stores. If you prefer to purchase online, you can get it from UNO’s official website as well.
