Who the TV pack suits

If your group chat is mostly spoilers and recommendations, this is your pack. The pairs match shows that share a format, a network vibe or a fanbase, so a single careless clue can expose you. It suits teens, students and adult friend groups who watch a lot of streaming. A few titles are mature dramas, so check the list above if you are playing with younger kids.

Sample rounds and clues

Friends vs How I Met Your Mother. Both are New York sitcoms about a gang of friends. "Coffee shop" points straight at Friends, while "bar" is sneaky because it fits How I Met Your Mother.
Breaking Bad vs Better Call Saul. Same world, same characters. "Albuquerque" is safe for both, which is why it is such a good bluff for an imposter.
The Office vs Parks and Recreation. Both mockumentaries. "Talking to the camera" fits either. "Paper" gives away The Office.

Look out for Stranger Things vs Wednesday, The Simpsons vs Family Guy and The Bachelor vs Love Island too.

Making it easier or harder

Not everyone has seen every show. In Classic mode the imposter knows they are the imposter and may get a hint like "Sitcom about friends", which helps people who only half-know a title. In Undercover mode the imposter just gets a neighbouring show and has to work out from the clues that something is off.

Pair this pack with movies for a full screen night, or add custom words for the shows your group is watching right now.
