ANSWERS FOR YOUR FIRST SESSION

Fakin It XL gameplay guide and player questions

Steam edition · Researched Nov 12, 2026 · Guide updated Nov 12, 2026.

Our guidance

How do I start a game if my friends are not in the same room?

At the start of the game, you can select whether you are playing with people in the room or remotely via a stream or video call. The game then provides round types customized for your chosen experience.

Based on source 1.

Source facts

What is the primary goal for the player designated as the Faker?

The Faker must blend in as if they know the prompt, lie convincingly when questioned, and shift blame onto others. If the Faker survives three rounds of interrogation without being caught, they earn a mountain of points.

Source facts

Do all players need to purchase the game to participate?

No, only one person needs to own the game for everyone to play. Other participants can join the session using their own phone, tablet, or any web-enabled device as their controller to jump right into the action.

Our guidance

How does the group identify the Faker during a round?

The group must sniff out the Faker by grilling each other about their answers. Once the real prompt is revealed, the group analyzes the responses to determine who is lying and who is actually in the loop.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

What happens if I am assigned the role of the Faker?

You will not receive the prompt that other players get. You must make split decisions to convince everyone you are in the loop and have a good lie queued up to explain yourself once the prompt is revealed.

Based on source 1.

Source facts

What new content is included in this XL version compared to the original?

This version incorporates round types and content borrowed from the updated structure of Fakin’ It All Night Long, while also adding brand-new content and question types to keep the experience fresh for returning players.

Based on source 1.

Source facts

Can I play this game using a controller instead of a phone?

The game features full controller support, but you primarily use your phone, tablet, or any web-enabled device as your controller to participate in the game sessions, making it accessible for all players in your group.

Based on source 1.

Source facts

Are there different ways to play besides local multiplayer?

Yes, the game supports various modes including Online PvP and Online Co-op. You can also utilize Remote Play Together, allowing you to enjoy the game with friends regardless of whether you are gathered in person or playing from afar.

Based on source 1.

Source facts

What is the basic mechanic for non-Faker players during a round?

Players receive a simple instruction on their device, such as a question about their personal experiences. They must answer according to that prompt, while the Faker attempts to mimic their behavior without having seen the original instruction.

Based on source 1.

Source facts

How many rounds must the Faker survive to win?

To successfully win the game and walk away with a mountain of points, the Faker must survive three full rounds of interrogation without being caught by the other players in the group.
