## What is Shifty?

Find the imposter.
Everyone gets the same secret word except the imposter, who has to bluff. Take turns giving clues, read the room and vote them out.
No account, no ads: create a room, share the code, play.

HOW TO PLAY
• One player creates a room; friends join with a 4-letter code, an invite link or a QR code.
• Everyone peeks at their card in secret. The imposter's card has no word.
• Take turns giving one clue. Too obvious and the imposter catches on; too vague and suspicion lands on you.
• Vote. A caught imposter gets a last chance: type the word or pick it from a list, and still steal the win.

PLAY YOUR WAY
• Side by side: same room, clues out loud, voting in the app.
• Remote: everyone somewhere else, clues typed in turn.
• Cards only: the app deals the cards, you run the rest.
• Roles: secret roles like the Detective, the Accomplice and the Confused.
• One phone: no Wi-Fi needed, just pass the phone around.
• Solo Detective: crack single-player puzzles on your own, with a new daily puzzle every day.

HIGHLIGHTS
• 3 to 20 players, 1 to 9 imposters
• 3,000+ words in 30+ categories, with Easy, Medium and Hard difficulty
• Match mode: play to a points goal or a set number of rounds, then take the podium
• Presets (Family, Big party, Hard mode…) and your own category mix
• Similar word: the imposter gets a close-but-different word and doesn't even know they're the imposter
• Imposters know each other: an option for games with several imposters
• Your own words, plus word packs you can share with a 6-letter code
• Step-by-step reveal, a quick pause and a vote for a new word
• Emoji reactions, and one tap back into your last room
• SharePlay: on a FaceTime call, bring everyone into your room
• App Clip: friends can join from your invite link before they even install the app
• Live countdown on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island
• Game Center achievements and leaderboards
• TV mode: put the game on the big screen
• Turkish, English, German, Spanish and French
• No account, no ads

Perfect for house parties, birthdays, road trips and family game night. Check your card. Keep a straight face.
