One word. One secret. Who's making it up?
Imposter is the party game for friends, family dinners, road trips and game nights. Everyone gets the same secret word – except the imposter, who has to bluff their way through. Take turns giving a one-word clue, talk it over, then vote. Catch the imposter… or get fooled!
HOW TO PLAY
• Everyone looks at their card in private: the secret word, or "You are the imposter".
• Go around the room: each player says one word related to the secret word.
• Too vague and you look suspicious. Too obvious and the imposter learns the word.
• Discuss, then vote out the player you think is the imposter.
• Catch them and the civilians win. Fool everyone and the imposter wins!
PLAY YOUR WAY
• 3 to 20 players
• One phone passed around the table, everyone on their own phone, or a mix
• No internet needed: play on your Wi-Fi, or let one Android phone create a game Wi-Fi network – join by scanning a QR code
• Hold-to-reveal cards that hide the moment you let go, so nobody can peek
• Name grid shows who has already looked at their card
40 CATEGORIES, 4,000 WORDS
Food, Animals, Movies & TV, Space, Sports, Travel, Famous places, History, Jobs, Music, Technology and many more – plus party categories for ages 16+ like Night out, Dating, Awkward moments and Guilty pleasures. Create your own categories and share them with a QR code.
GAME MODES
• Classic, Easy (the imposter gets a hint), Hard (no category shown), Undercover (the imposter gets a similar word and doesn't know it) and Chaos (a surprise number of imposters)
• One vote or elimination rounds, with optional clue and discussion timers
• A game master mode for the host, points and a scoreboard across games
• Stuck with a word nobody knows? The host deals a new one in one tap
MAKE IT YOURS
• Pick from comic characters, or take a selfie and turn it into a comic picture
• 9 languages: English, Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Indonesian and Japanese – and cards can show the word in a second language
• Three looks: Party, Playful and Minimal
