## What is Imposter?

One of you is lying. Find out who.

Imposter is the local-multiplayer party game for 3-12 friends in the same room. Everyone gets the same secret word - except the Imposter, who only gets a vague hint. Take turns saying one-word clues, read the room, and vote out the faker before they figure out the word.

HOW IT WORKS
- One player hosts; friends join in seconds with a QR code or 5-letter code
- Everyone secretly flips their card - will you get the word, or the hint?
- Take turns giving one-word clues out loud
- Discuss, accuse, and vote on your phones
- Catch the Imposter to score - or escape suspicion and steal the round

FEATURES
- 1,000+ words across 21 categories: Food, Animals, Movies & TV, Superheroes, Celebrities, Video Games, Internet Culture, and more
- Hint mode: the Imposter gets a sneaky one-word hint - or hard mode with no hint at all
- Pick your categories each game
- Score tracking across rounds
- No accounts, no sign-up - enter a name and play

Perfect for parties, road trips, classrooms, family game night, and lunch breaks. All you need is your phones and your best poker face.

Free to play with 5 categories. Unlock all 21 categories and remove ads forever with a single one-time purchase.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.3 — 2026-09-03

Bug fixes and improvements.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-08-30

Fixes a bug where joining a game could falsely say the host closed it, forcing players to re-enter the code. Joining now works reliably on the first try.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-10

Fixes straight from real game nights:
- Locking your phone no longer kicks you out of a game - ever
- Fixed two phones sometimes acting as one player after a phone upgrade
- The Imposter now votes and secretly guesses the word on one screen
- Sharp votes always pay: voting for the imposter earns +1 even on a tied vote
- Older app versions get a clear "update needed" message when joining newer games
- More resilient app start-up

### 1.1 — 2026-08-03

WHAT'S NEW IN 1.1
- Discussion round: 30 seconds to argue it out before voting opens
- The Imposter's Guess: caught or not, the imposter can type the secret word for a bonus point (host can turn this off)
- Custom Word Packs: build categories from your own inside jokes (full game)
- Smarter scoring: only players who vote for the imposter earn the point - sharp reads pay off even on a tied vote
- No repeated words in a session, and phones no longer drop out of games when the screen locks

### 1.0 — 2026-07-15

No release notes.
