"Priya ka favourite street food?" Golgappe, Momos, Vada pav or Chole bhature. Priya picks her real answer. Everyone else guesses. Now we find out who actually listens when she talks.
Kitna Jaanta Hai is a How Well Do You Know Me game for a group. Each round one player is the star. The app shows a question about them with four options, the star secretly picks the truth, and everyone else guesses at the same time. Guessers score for getting it right, and the star scores for every friend who knows them.
Mandli has 230 questions in Hinglish, about khana, aadat, filmy, travel, school-college, phone, sapne and bachpan. Each round takes under a minute, for 3 to 10 players.
Kya chahiye: Just phones. The star answers in secret and everyone guesses at once.
Rules: kaise khelte hain
Pick the star
Each round, the app picks one player as the star. Across rounds in the room, everyone gets a turn as the star before anyone repeats.
The question
For 4 seconds the screen shows the star's name, a question about them and four options. For example: Priya ki chai kaisi? Kadak adrak wali, Elaichi wali, Masala chai, or Chai nahi, coffee. Questions do not repeat in a room session.
Answer and guess
Everyone has 20 seconds. The star picks their real answer, and everyone else picks a guess. Both can change until they tap Lock. You see who has locked, never what they picked. The round moves on early when everyone has locked.
The reveal
For 7 seconds the star's answer lights up, and everyone's guesses show on the options. Seeing who knew is half the fun. Anyone can tap Aage, and the host can move everyone along.
If the star does not answer in time, the round is skipped with no points, and the screen says Star so gaya.
Host settings
The host picks a topic in the lobby: Sab mix, Khana, Aadat, Filmy, Travel, School-college, Phone, Sapne or Bachpan. If the star has stepped away, the host can skip their turn, with no points for anyone.
Points kaise milte hain
A guesser who matches the star's answer gets 2 points. The star gets 1 point for each guesser who got it right. There is no cap, so a star in a room of 10 can earn 9 in one round. Because the star earns when friends guess right, there is no reason to pick a fake answer.
Jeetne ke tips
- As the star, answer honestly. You score more when your friends know the real you.
- Guessers, think about what they actually do, not what they say they like.
- Pick Bachpan or Sapne for friends who think they know everything already.
- Pick Khana for a family group. Everyone has opinions about someone's chai.
- Talk after each reveal. The best part is "tu toh momos bolta hai!"
