10/10: They're Perfect, But… How Much Is the Dealbreaker Worth?

10/10: They're Perfect, But… How Much Is the Dealbreaker Worth?

They're a 10, but they reply to every message with a thumbs up. Is that still a 10? A 7? A hard pass? 10/10 takes the internet's favourite dating question and turns it into a party game where everyone rates in secret and then has to explain themselves.

How 10/10 Works

Someone reads the card out loud: a person who sounds perfect, followed by the but. Then the phone goes round and each player rates them from 0 to 10 in secret. Nobody sees a score until everyone has voted. Then every score comes out at once, together with the average. Gave a 0 or a 10? Explain yourself. The game plays with 3 to 12 players and is part of Cluso Pro.

Choose Your Decks

Cards come in four decks. Dating is all relationship dealbreakers, Habits is the everyday quirks you'd have to live with, and Chaos is absurd and completely unhinged. Spicy is for adults only and is off by default — turn it on only when you know the room. You also choose how many rounds to play: 3, 5 or 10 dealbreakers.

The Reveal Is Where It Gets Loud

The secret vote is what makes 10/10 work. Because nobody can copy anyone else, you get honest scores — and honest scores are wildly different. When one person gives a 9 and another gives a 1, the game tells you: you don't agree at all, defend your scores. At the end it also names the most divisive card, the most forgiven dealbreaker and the pickiest player at the table.

Tips for Better Debates

Rate the idea, not anyone in the room. The game is about hypothetical people, and keeping it that way keeps it fun. When you defend your score, be specific: ‘I'd make it work because…’ beats ‘I just would’. And listen to the outliers — the person who forgives everything and the person who forgives nothing usually have the best arguments.

House Rules to Try

Want more stakes? Before the reveal, have the reader predict the average; if they're within one point, they get to pick the next deck. For couples' nights, compare partners' scores side by side and discuss the gap. And for a big group, let the pickiest player of the previous game read every card in the next one.

Why It Works at Parties

10/10 is a debate game disguised as a rating game. Picking a number takes two seconds, so nobody feels put on the spot, but the reveal instantly shows who is forgiving, who is ruthless and who is secretly a romantic. Every round is short, the arguments are harmless, and the best ones become running jokes for the rest of the night.

Everyone has a dealbreaker, and 10/10 finds out exactly how much it costs. Open it in Cluso, read the first card out loud, and get ready to defend your number.
