About The Big Bluff
The Big Bluff is a trivia game that incorporates some mechanics of Texas Hold ‘Em Poker, in which a dealer will start by displaying three cards in the community hand – the first showing the question category, followed by a second and third card showing hints to the answer. Players will then have the option to match the pot to continue playing and to view the fourth and fifth cards. The fourth card displays another hint, while the fifth and final card displays the question that players must correctly answer. Fold at any point in the game if you’re not confident in the final question and answer, or bluff your way to the end, raise the pot and force your competitor’s hand. Call your opponent’s bluff and win bonus money if they don’t know the answer.

 
Future plans include the production of a television game show version of The Big Bluff. The show will be co-produced by himojo and TV producer, Andrew Glassman, of Glassman Media, responsible for NBC’s hot Average Joe (TV series), whose first season finale attracted more than 25 million viewers ranking it as the second highest rated reality telecast in NBC network history. Players will have the opportunity to compete in the online game and win a seat to play on the television game show.
