How to play the imposter game

The imposter game is a social deduction party game. Everyone shares one secret word except a hidden imposter, who has to bluff their way through. It plays in four quick steps.

  1. Set up the round

    Choose 3–20 players and pick a category. Everyone but the hidden imposter will share the same secret word.

  2. Reveal your role

    Pass one phone around. Each player taps to secretly see their word — or that they are the imposter — then hides it and passes on.

  3. Give clues & discuss

    Take turns saying one word linked to the secret word without giving it away. Then debate who is faking it.

  4. Vote & reveal

    Vote for the suspected imposter. Catch them and the civilians win; miss and the imposter escapes.
