Is splitting the bill to the cent a red flag or just good maths? Is alphabetising the spice rack charming or alarming? Red Flag? turns the internet's favourite verdict into a party game where everyone judges the same scenario — and someone always disagrees.
How Red Flag? Works
Red Flag? is a fast debate game for 3 to 12 players on one phone, and it's part of Cluso Pro. Each round, the phone goes round and every player reads the scenario privately and votes: green flag (genuinely a good sign), beige flag (weird, but harmless) or red flag (run). Nothing is shown until everyone has voted. Then the split is revealed and the least popular answer is highlighted — and whoever stands alone gets 30 seconds to defend it.
Pick Your Decks
Scenarios come in decks for every crowd: Everyday, Dating, Friends, Family, Coworkers, Couple and Chaos. Choose how many prompts to play — 5, 10 or unlimited — and whether to include spicier prompts, which are mature but never explicit and always opt-in. You can even write your own scenarios; they show up as their own deck and stay on your phone, never uploaded or shared.
Predict the Group
There's an optional twist that adds a layer of strategy. Each round, one player is the reader and guesses what the majority picked before the split is revealed. Called it? That's a point. Wrong call? The whole table gets to enjoy it. At the end, everyone gets a player profile showing how often they stood alone — the perfect evidence for the next argument.
Tips for a Great Debate
Vote honestly, not strategically. The fun comes from genuine disagreement, and there's nothing better than a room discovering that one friend thinks double-texting is a green flag. When you're in the minority, commit to your defence. Charm, logic, a personal story — anything goes in 30 seconds. And keep it about habits and behaviour, never about the people in the room. Nobody has to defend anything; you can always skip the timer.
Why It Works
Everybody has opinions about what's acceptable, and almost nobody agrees on the details. Red Flag? takes those tiny differences and makes them the whole show. The secret vote means people can't hide behind the crowd, and the minority defence means the quietest person at the table sometimes gives the speech of the night.
House Rules to Try
Make the minority defence count: if the speaker convinces at least one person to change their mind, they get to pick the next deck. For a work party, stick to the Coworkers and Everyday decks and keep the spicier prompts off. And for a group that knows each other well, write a handful of your own scenarios before the night starts — they're often the ones that get the biggest reaction.
Green, beige or red — the verdict is never unanimous for long. Open Red Flag? in Cluso, pass the phone, and let the minority make its case.
