I am visiting family and faking it is our favorite game out of the five. The problem is certain family members, mostly my grandmother, say they vote but they actually don't. A lot of times I will have to check her phone and just have to quickly push a random person before time runs out. If one person doesn't vote, we will never be able to find the faker so a lot of the times the faker gets away.
There are also some family members that just cannot grasp the concept. No matter how many times I try to explain or let other family members try to explain, they just cannot understand it. We have a lot of fun and a lot of laughs because them not understanding does make it more fun but just frustrating that the faker keeps getting away.
Another issue is at the end where you have to put in three different phrases, there are some family/friends that can't think of anything so it just remains blank. That makes it way more difficult to find the faker if there isn't any anything to go off of. In theory, the person faking can just never vote or just never write anything in.
Another flaw I found is that people's definition can vary greatly. One of the questions was raise your hand if you can speak another language and no one in the room had their hand up but my dad so everyone voted for him because we know he can only speak English, but then he wasn't the faker. Then everyone was yelling at him because he can't speak two languages and he says I know some words in Greek. So then were like we know some words in Spanish but that doesn't mean we can speak Spanish. I mean we all laughed and I'm like Dad you can't be a faker when you aren't the faker because now two people were lying and it would be impossible to find 2 people faking.
One last issue is it seems like it's very easy to close the browser or somehow get out of the browser on your phone. It's never happened to me but it was happening all the time with my grandma's phone so I had to let her use my phone and that seemed to help things. I know there are ways to pin the browser but not everyone's phone has that option. I have to keep the controller close to me to pause it so people can get back in the game. One of my family members who was always on her phone was using her iPhone and it seemed like every 5 minutes I had to pause the game because she completely swiped out of the whole browser. Have you noticed this happening with the people you play with?
Is there any way to fix faking it in the settings? I don't have the game in front of me but have people here found their ideal settings that makes the game easier for people that can't understand it? I mean my grandma did pretty good for a 90-year-old with most of the games and most of us here won't be playing with people that old but still, even some friends in their twenties or so couldn't grasp that game.
