One player gets a slightly different word. Find the imposter through conversation alone. The official Word Wolf app, endorsed by the game's creator. 10 million downloads and 190,000 reviews. HOW TO PLAY No manual, no cards, no setup. 1. Pick your group and pass the phone — works with 3 to 50 people. Pass one phone around and check your own word in secret. 2. Talk about it for five minutes — everyone assumes they share the same word. One player, the wolf, was given a slightly different one. 3. Point and vote — vote out whoever seems off. Catch the wolf and the citizens win; survive the vote and the wolf takes it. WHY THIS ONE - No rulebook needed. The rules live inside the app. One person reads them out and you are playing three minutes after opening it, even with first-timers in the group. - Topic buttons keep the talk alive. In this game staying quiet is actually the safer play. Topic buttons hand you a fresh thing to talk about, turning every awkward silence back into the fun part. - Every word pair rebuilt in 4.0. 600 brand-new pairs plus 1,800 conversation prompts. Roughly 100 hours of material, from classics like "noodles" vs "pasta" to "heartbreak" vs "a crush". Six categories: food & drink, everyday life, fun & entertainment, love & relationships, school life and kids. - Now in 17 languages, so you can play in the language your group actually speaks. GOOD FOR Drinks and parties / Waiting around / Icebreakers / Family gatherings / School and training / Nights away on a trip Nine years since launch in 2017. The word list is refreshed every year, so nothing you play ever feels dated. Free to play. One phone is all you need — nobody else has to install anything. This is the official app of Word Wolf, endorsed by its creator Kawasaki Factory (Susumu Kawasaki).

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 漢字でGO! at 5.0 against Imposter Game's 4.5. 漢字でGO! also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Imposter Game's advantage is ratings volume (87 vs 4) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Imposter Game sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. 漢字でGO! asks for nothing beyond the download.
漢字でGO! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Imposter Game has 87 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Imposter Game's written reviews are positive against 72% of 漢字でGO!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Imposter Game ships an update every 2 weeks, 漢字でGO! every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
