Pass the phone around to each player, allowing them to see the secret word. One player will not see the word, instead seeing the phrase, "Impostor!" This player will need to pretend they know the secret word throughout the round. In a pre-defined order, each player will give a one-word clue that indicates to the other players that they know the secret word. The clue should be direct enough so as to not make themselves suspicious, but not too obvious so the impostor doesn't figure the word out. If you are the impostor, your job is to blend in with your clue and pretend as though you know the word. Once every player has given a clue, the group can decide whether or not they want to vote or to go around one more time to collect more information. If the group chooses to vote, each player will vote for the person they believe is the impostor. The person with the most votes is eliminated. If the person who is voted out was not the impostor (they reveal their identity upon being voted out), the impostor wins no matter what. However, if the impostor was correctly voted out, they can still win if they are able to guess the secret word. If they fail to do so, the rest of the players win.

Who's the impostor among your friends? ANIME IMPOSTOR brings the thrill of hidden role gameplay straight to your phone — no internet, no accounts needed. ONE DEVICE FOR EVERYONE Pass the phone around. Each player secretly sees their role, looks away, and passes it back. No need for multiple phones or Wi-Fi — the whole game runs on a single device. ANIME MODE & CLASSIC MODE Dive into the anime universe with characters, secret words, and a visual style that fans will instantly recognize. Or switch to Classic Mode for a more universal experience. You pick the vibe for the night. HOW TO PLAY All players get the same secret word — except the Impostor, who doesn't know it. During the game, everyone gives clues or descriptions without revealing the word. The Impostor tries to blend in. At the end, the group votes: who didn't know the word? If they guess right, the team wins. If the Impostor survives the vote — or correctly guesses the word after being caught — they win.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Impostor at none against Anime Impostor's shown. Anime Impostor's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
