Imposter is a social deduction party game built for real life. Instead of everyone staring at their phones at once, a question drops, everyone answers whenever they get a moment, and then you all vote to unmask the imposter. HOW IT PLAYS • Start a game and share a room code, or tap Quick Play to jump into a public game. • A question drops. Everyone answers… except the imposter, who secretly gets a different question (or doesn't know the secret word). • When the window closes, read the answers and vote on who the odd one out is. • Catch the imposter to score — or get away with it if you're the sneaky one. TWO MODES • Different Question — the imposter answers a slightly different prompt. • Secret Word — everyone gives clues to a word the imposter doesn't know. FACTIONS Create a Faction with your friends or coworkers, chat together, and get an automatic daily game at a time you choose. Climb your Faction's standings and the global Faction league table. PLAY YOUR WAY • Speed games with 1-minute rounds, or relaxed async windows up to a few hours. • Choose how many questions a game lasts. • Themed packs: Work Classics, Hot Takes, Get Personal, and Totally Random. • A hidden leaderboard keeps scores secret until the game ends — no peeking for clues. MADE FOR ASYNC Get a nudge when a question drops and before time runs out. Play between meetings, no scheduling required. Great for remote teams, friend groups, and anyone who likes a little friendly suspicion with their coffee break.
