Are you the imposter - or will you expose them? Imposter is the perfect game for groups that love fun, suspense, and a bit of deception. Playable with 3 or more players - no internet needed. Each round, every player gets a secret word. Everyone? Not quite! One player receives only "IMPOSTER". Now it's time to improvise: Each person gives a clue in one sentence. The imposter has to guess the word. The others must figure out who's lying. Now with a brand new game mode: 'Find the Liar' - everyone is asked the same question, except one player who secretly receives a different one. After all players answer, it's time to debate, discuss, and vote on who they think the liar is! Why you'll love it: • Offline play - perfect for travel • Easy to learn, quick to start • Multiple categories and difficulty levels • Great for friends, family, school trips & parties • Strategy, bluffing & lots of laughs guaranteed! Will you expose the imposter - or bluff your way to victory? Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula Privacy Policy: https://imposter-app.com/privacy
