How to Play

* The Deal: Every round, players get a secret role on their phones. Most are Detective Toasts who share a secret category, word, and picture. But at least one of you is the Burnt Toast—a slippery fugitive flying completely blind.

* The Interrogation: Go around the room and give a single-word clue to prove you know the secret. The Burnt Toast has to bluff, improvise, and sweat it out to blend in.

* The Arrest: Lock in your vote on your phone to catch the imposter.

* The Showdown: Did you catch them? The game isn't over! The Burnt Toast gets one final, dramatic chance to guess the exact secret word and steal the victory.

Why You'll Keep Playing

* Dynamic Speed Scoring: Don't just vote—vote fast! You earn up to 100 points for locking in the correct suspect quickly. But guess wrong, and you'll lose points!

* Endless Themes & Art: Play through massive categories like Food, Animals, and Toys, or test your film knowledge with real Hollywood movie posters.

* Daily Cold Case (Solo Mode): Nobody around to play with? Play our daily single-player puzzle. Read wiretapped transcripts, manage your evidence stars, and catch the AI imposter to keep your daily win streak alive!
